Georgia man threatens black kids at bus stop over noise: ‘This bullet has your name on it’
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/18/georgia-man-threatens-black-kids-at-bus-stop-over-noise-this-bullet-has-your-name-on-it/A Georgia man was arrested late last week for brandishing a gun at children who were waiting for their bus, telling them he had a bullet with their name on it....
“He came out and he was really approaching the kids – you know cussing and using profanity,” one of the students at the bus stop recalled. “He came out and said, ‘I have a bullet with your name written on it.”...
Students told WSAV that Zimmerman, who has a concealed carry permit, tried to frighten them by showing them bullets in the gun.
“There is no way that I could have taken this out and they seen it, they would have known what color it was,” Zimmerman insisted. “That’s the only way that I can get it out to get the magazine out to get a bullet out of the gun.”

Ugh these people make my skin crawl. They love playing word games.
Next Is he going to claim that they're lying because he doesnt own any bullets with their names engraved on it?
About 12 hours after the incident, Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police charged Zimmerman with terroristic threats.
Typical white privilege. Anyone else would be arrested immediately although if he was a cop instead of a "civilian", they'd probably give him an award.
