Zimmerman's Brother-Glad George's Gun Will Be Returned To Him-"Since He Needs It For Protection"

Robert Zimmerman Jr. to Piers Morgan:

"There are people that would want to take the law into their own hands...they will always present a threat to George"


Zimmerman’s horrible brother Robert Jr. was on CNN last night and noted that he’s glad George Zimmerman’s gun will be returned to him since he needs it for protection. He cited death threats on Twitter. Well, Zimmerman thought he needed that gun in a far more fortunate time, before any of us knew his fucking name.

When he talks, he talks like he's reading from a novel. I don't know how else to explain it.

Listen to him, you'll see what I mean.

Ugh!

They will be carrying a gun too, since they know he is armed and has killed before for no reason. And zimmerman is not really up to the challenge of defending himself against an armed person who is really a criminal threat to him.

He only knows how to threaten and then gun down unarmed children on their way home. Having his own gun wont necessarily help zimmerman if someone does choose to stalk him, then threaten and provoke him, then stand their ground and kill him in the same manner in which he killed that poor child.

On that score, his bro is correct - zimmerman has now set a standard for this, and if applied correctly, it could in theory let someone off the hook if kill him under a contrived SYG scenerio, as he created with this poor kid. He can never be certain that his creation will not blow back on to him at some point as an unintended consequence of being set free after shooting this kid.
