[Vision2020] Zimmy beams as he tours gun factory

[Joe Campbell]

Of course I don't condone the bounty, or death threats. It is still a
mystery to me why you keep condoning Zimmerman. If you want folks to stop
talking about him, why don't you start us off? Really, I only post on that
guy when you or others try to defend him, or act shocked about the public
outrage. Otherwise, I don't really think about him much.
