committing any crime, and when they resist and get into a fight with you, and you are getting your stupid ass kicked by this person, then decide to shoot them.

And the only reason he was trying to take your gun (if that story is true), is because he thought you would try to shoot him. Which you did.

I smell bullshit 100 percent. I won't believe a word that anyone says now in defense of zimmerman. He needs to be in a jail cell awaiting trial on murder one. Damn sure shouldn't still be in possession of a weapon of any kind. Its the sorry bastards like him that give the rest of the criminals a bad name. f**k him. He gave up his right to be free now lock his sorry ass up already.

It is beginning to dawn on me that there is no law to protect us from gun stroking bullies after all (or ones with ball bats for that matter).

The only answer left is to give them what they want, violence against violence and I am sure that one trip to a "gun show" and we would have all the fire power needed to protect ourselves from neighborhood watchers (voyeurs looking for blood). Racists and people that just want to harm the younger, the weaker, and the unarmed (Trayvon was the trifecta of younger weaker and unarmed).

The cops side with the attackers because they are fellow steal penis wearers, we need to make our own justice now I guess, they want to make it clear there is no option but to join in becoming as heavily armed as possible.

Since we can not trust the cops, we will only have our own possies.

To think, I spend many years of adulthood believing rule of law WAS civilization, it no longer applies to war criminals, extortionists (if they steal billions rather than thousands), and it no longer applies to murderers wandering the streets with Guns.

Do we really have any choice or actual law left?

Hopefully, the feds and/or the grand jury will lead Zimmerman to a cell, where he belongs.

Zimmerman was clearly exceeding whatever authority he thought he had, and so it's time to tar the rest of us who actually have a few brain cells.

Does anyone remember Zimmerman's 2005 domestic violence episode? Why the fuck was this guy on neighborhood watch to begin with? Anyone want to answer that question? Anyone?

According to court records George Zimmerman is the son of retired Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert J Zimmerman, his mother Gladys Zimmerman is a court clerk....He has three closed arrests 7/18/05 for resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer div 10........8/9/05 for domestic violence div 44..... And again on 8/10/05 domestic violence div 46 ***

This asshat was always coddled and protected.

Zimmerman needed to mind his own business instead of interrogating law abiding citizens as to who they are and where they are going.

Apparently the RW has decided that kids need to be taught that they must quietly accept whatever the adult stranger has in mind for them because if they try to resist or fight back the adult stranger can and should kill them.

followed for some time by an adult stranger and then approached by him.

YOU are invested in the side of the adult stranger getting off the hook - maybe you think kids should be approached at any time by an adult.
