@oralloy,
Quote:I imagine that once Mr. Zimmerman defends himself a second time, these thugs will decide to start looking for someone else to hassle.
Who are the "thugs" now, his wife and his father-in-law? That's who he attacked and threatened the last time. And, of course, he claimed to be acting "defensively" when he provoked the entire confrontation with them by showing up at the house when he had agreed not to be there, just as he provoked the entire incident with Trayvon Martin by stalking him rather than just remaining in his vehicle as he should have done.
Don't you notice a pattern here? No one hassles or bothers Zimmerman. No one goes after Zimmerman. It's Zimmerman who is the instigator and the provocative agent. Because of his poor judgment and lack of impulse control, he creates and orchestrates the conditions for violent encounters because of his provocative actions toward others. He's reckless.
If Zimmerman ever uses his gun to allegedly "defend himself" for a second time, I think he'll spend a long time cooling his heels behind bars.
His reckless actions have already resulted in one needless and avoidable death, and even the Chief of Police in his community sees him as a potential danger to others, and he's said that, if he had the authority, he'd revoke Zimmerman's gun permit because of that.
It requires considerable denial of reality not to see the pattern in Zimmerman's behavior and not to realize that he is too unstable to be carrying a gun, and that, unless he gets himself some psychiatric help, he's a tragedy waiting to happen. His wife knows that, his friends have voiced that, and his lawyer has backed away from him, likely because of that.
His alleged "supporters" in this thread don't really seem to care about the man at all. If they did, they'd realize he has some very serious emotional problems.
