FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH, LATEST TREND ON TWITTER about zimmerman

#ZimmermanTipLine

All the repugs are on it, the stuff is really really nasty, you will be physically sick.

Im at a lost at how low that even the republicans on twitter will go.

This is beyond the freerepublic.

Not even the lowest of their low would write stuff like this.

I honestly have no idea how one sees twitter messages, if they're not posted somewhere like here.

And I have zero interest in learning.

It has it's uses. Fire warnings, traffic...and in situations like civil disobedience...well we journos can find stuff

It has it's dark side too.

I mostly use the paper feed for traffic and fire alerts. 140 characters can pretty much fit a major accident or address for a brush fire. Those tweets have saved lives.

I am not waiting for my government to protect our children. They have not, and they will not. In fact, they've rewritten the laws to make it easier to kill minority children. I will not wait for my government to GRANT me and my people the right bear ams for protection, they are our RIGHTS, and we will make use of them.

And slow our roll if we see any SUSPECTS. Just slow our roll and creep behind ANYONE we deem suspicious. I have had as much training as George Zimmerman. So have each and every one of my people.

Permits are being bought, lapsed conceal carry will be renewed. These people need to know we are prepared to stand our ground.

Because the ugly, "I wish it weren't true but it is and I can't deny it anymore" REALITY is, had Trayvon Martin had a gun, he'd have had a better chance than the 'sidewalk is a weapon' when that racist child molester stalked him for more than 20 mins. And if GZ thought for one second that this was a fair fight, I doubt VERY SERIOUSLY if he would have gotten out of his car when the dispatch told him not to approach. I bet he wouldn't have. I actually wish guns were illegal. But if THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS have guns, you can best believe THIS Laydee is locked and loaded.

And they don't like a fair fight. They don't like it at ALL. Even the THOUGHT of it. Because they don't like FAIR. They like ORDER (as long as they are able to order you...not the other way around)
