I have resisted the urge to give my opinion in this case, but to the following I cannot restrain myself from commenting.

Surely you can't be serious!
While lying with his back on the wet ground (it was raining, remember?), being restrained there by a much taller physically superior young man (not a 12 yr old child, as the MSM, his parents & biased supporters would have one believe), all the while being bashed in the face & having his head banged into the hard concrete, AND..... you expect GZ to have the presence of mind to retrieve his weapon from its holster at his waist, extend his arm above his head and fire it, not knowing where the bullet might go, or what innocent bystander or observer might be struck?
Oh! Maybe if I shoot this man in his leg or arm maybe he will cease assaulting me (let's not forget that GZ was unaware of TM's age at that moment, only that he had been rendered temporarily at a disadvantage by being knocked to the ground as a consequence of being "sucker punched")? Did you ever consider that such an act, if it had transpired after this manner, could have resulted in TM wrestling the weapon from GZ and then using it in reprisal? I would think it much more reasonable, that if one decides to use a weapon in defending himself under such circumstances (& that is exactly what GZ did), to make sure that it is used in the most effective manner to render the one who doing the assaulting immobile, or at a minimum to gain relief.

And he could show some remorse for a life taken.

We each display our emotions in varying ways. Without knowing GZ's state of mind then how might you know that he has never expressed remorse over TM's demise?
This is my opinion to which I am entitled. I shall have nothing further to say.
