@BillRM,

It must be interesting it very limiting to live in a world where a young hoodlum can be turn into a saint and a man who had a history of serving his community into a demon.
It must be interesting to live in a fantasy world where a middle class high school junior, with no criminal history, and no history of anti-social behaviors, or any sort of documented history of aggressive attacks on people, suddenly becomes a "hoodlum" only because he happens to be black.
And a man whose cousin accused him of sexually molesting her for 10 years, starting when she was 6, and whose former fiancé obtained a restraining order against him for domestic violence and stalking her, and who was criminally charged for attacking a law enforcement officer and who was subsequently court-ordered to take anger management classes, and who brazenly lied and concealed his assets from his lawyer and the court at his bail hearing, suddenly becomes someone "who had a history of serving his community."
Quote:A mixed race gentleman as white as Obama...
Talk about distorting reality. No way are Zimmerman and Obama equally white in color. Zimmerman is ethnically part Peruvian and appears to be white--and the police described him as white. What color do you think Zimmerman is?
Quote:An when after a political trial that found him innocent ....
No, Zimmerman was not found "innocent" at his criminal trial. He was found "not guilty" which is quite different, and when one of the jurors who acquitted him is now saying, "George Zimmerman got away with murder," it's quite clear he's not being regarded as innocent. And that juror will probably be quite helpful in any civil wrongful death actions against Zimmerman.

Taking a clear case of needed self defense...
You must be talking about Trayvon Martin, an unarmed minor, who had a justifiable right to defend himself from a creepy guy, with a loaded gun, and a year's worth of formal fighting lessons at a gym, who had been following and menacing him in the dark for no apparent reason.
Zimmerman didn't need to defend himself from anything that night except his own aggressive impulses, his own obsessions with black males, and his own poor judgment. He caused a totally needless death because he lacked the self control to either remain in his car, or just continue his shopping trip to Target.
You don't care about either Zimmerman or justice, or human life, BillRM. This is all about guns for you--
your guns and your need to have those guns. You can't even acknowledge the lousy judgment Zimmerman showed that night, or how he violated the rules of being a neighborhood watch that night, both by following Martin
and by carrying a loaded gun with him. He wasn't "serving his community" that night, he was consumed with his own personal obsessions, and he wound up killing an innocent kid who belonged in that community because of his personal obsessions.
And now you want to see him carrying a gun again...
Responsible gun-owners, unlike you, don't want to see guns in the hands of those, like Zimmerman, whose impaired judgment causes senseless and needless gun violence, and who are dangers to those in their own communities. The homeowners association of that gated community has already paid Trayvon Martin's parents a $1 million+ settlement because their son wasn't safe in that community that night--he wasn't safe from George Zimmerman.
The more you try to defend Zimmerman, with your distorted and racist thinking, the worse you sound....
