Zimbo will never have my respect

[Cronus Protagonist]

He doesn't exist to me other than as a possible threat. If I ever encounter him in person, I will turn my back and walk away. He won't shoot me. I hope.



Does he have yours?

[calimary]

1. Nor mine. He will always be a murderer who beat the rap.

But beating the rap doesn't change the fact that he's a murderer.

[ReRe]

2. Not even a possibility. Nothing redeemable in this rotten/cracked Humpty Dumpty.

He doesn't need anyone's respect. He probably became a multimillionaire the second he was pronounced Not Guilty... a little gift from the Koch Bros. for all his suffering and anguish don'tcha know...

[Turbineguy]

3. He already knows that.

That's what the gun is for.

[Cronus Protagonist]

6. Damn right.

He's never earned it from anyone, I bet. Not even his MMA instructor had any respect for the wimp.

[onehandle]

4. If I ever see him, I will call 911. That's what everyone should do if they encounter him.

For the rest of his life.

He's proven that open and concealed carry people are an unaccountable danger to us all.

[Travis_0004]

5. So your sollution is to clog up 911?

And waste police officers time by dealing with something that is not an issue, and maybe not be available to respond to people who actually need help.

Great idea.

7. Straw man argument

Make something up and then flog them with it. Nice going. And you get paid for this?

[JoePhilly]

8. Wasn't that Zimmy's MO? Call 9/11 on "suspects" for which their had been no crime?

That's what he did the night he killed Martin.

[Cronus Protagonist]

10. Weren't all his calls about little children?

And garage doors, I believe.

[JoePhilly]

11. Nope ... suspicious black guys made regular appearances as well.

[Cronus Protagonist]

12. I read they were 8-10 years old, these "suspicious black guys"

Maybe there were more than I heard about. Didn't he call 2 times a month for years?

[JoePhilly]

13. I'm not sure what the monthly total was ... but he called in

frequently enough that the cops knew him well.

And in recent months, he was thinking that the suspicious individuals might have been responsible for a few burglaries.

That's why he refers to Martin as "the suspect" when he calls the police that night. He's already decided that Martin should be considered a "suspect" in those burglaries. And that's also why he says some thing to the effect of "these punks always get away".

Basically, he called the police for no reason. There had been no crime that night and Martin was not actually a suspect of any kind. Except in Zimmerman's mind.

9. A reasonable person could now fear for their life if they see Zimmerman. nt
