When people glorify one shooting and send support (Zimmy) it only emboldens others

So very many are/were supporting zimmerman, sending him donations for his defense saying it was important to keep their 2nd amendment rights by supporting him. Where are those people now.


I see so many saying if they had been in that theater with their CC they would have stopped the gunman before so many deaths when in all likelyhood, they would have died too. I and the hubs have our CC but we also understand it is not to play lawman, but to only protect our physical lives. WE actually don't expect to ever use it.

I have many FB friends saying if they had been there, they would have taken the shooter out.

Maybe they would have, maybe not. Likely, they would have become part of the stats.
