That being said, i have been reading about this case with some interest. As is the nature with these things, evidence will continue to come out, and my perception of the situation may change next month, but dealing with just the information i have, these are my thoughts:<br /><br />This is sad. A young man lost his life, and another man took it. From what i have read, the young man had no weapon, and had made no threatening moves. He was persued, and was shot for no reason. <br /><br />Zimmerman claims self defense. Bullshit.<br /><br />This is bad for 2nd amendment advocates. As a CCW permit holder myself, i feel that our reputation as a whole has been sullied. When one takes the responsibility of becoming a concealed carry permit holder, one must live up to that responsibility. Zimmerman had no evidence that a crime had been committed. He called in to the police. That is where his action should have ended. But he followed the young man. The young man kept trying to flee from what i'm sure he felt was some crazy man chasing him for no reason. Zimmerman pulled a firearm when there was no imminent danger. At this point, things are starting to get bad for the 2A crowd. Zimmerman shoots and kills the 17 year old. Things are getting worse for the 2A crowd. Instead of admitting his grevious error in judgement, zimmerman hides behind a self defense claim. Coward! Worthless coward! Admit your bad judgement. Do your time. Behave as a man should.<br /><br />Instead, he has given the media one more instance of poor judgement, and has given responsible gun owners a bad name. It sickens me that he was carrying legally, because he has made the rest of us look so damn bad.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing you tomorrow to hear what you have to say, pawpaw. You may have information that will change my opinion, but this is what i observe, based on the information i have on the whole affair.<br /><br />This is truly a sad event.The Displaced Louisiana Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746778682819211996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-15759923669670695392012-03-24T11:53:50.872-05:002012-03-24T11:53:50.872-05:00First: to hell with Sharpton and his ilk.
Howeve...First: <b>to hell</b> with Sharpton and his ilk.<br /><br />However, I gotta say that when Zimmerman ignored the instructions of the dispatcher to "stay put", he put himself in a bad light. Then he made it worse by not just following, observing, and reporting via cell phone, he cornered Martin and challenged him. <br /><b>Very</b> bad judgement. Zimmerman was nither (a)a LEO, or (b) on his own property, or(c) coming to someone's rescue.<br />In my limited legal experience, Zimmerman is looking at a manslaughter charge, and probable conviction.Termitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-60395177240789716652012-03-24T08:17:25.726-05:002012-03-24T08:17:25.726-05:00You can see they are in it for money, I can see th...You can see they are in it for money, I can see they are in it for the money, every conservative can see they are in it for the money.....why oh why CAN'T the left see that they are in it for the money!?!??<br />Does the left have selective sight? Are they thinking, "give money to them; and they will do good with it?"<br />Seeesh what a bunch of rubes. And Sharpton laughs all the way to his tailor for another suit!<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
