I'm not supporting Zimmerman. I'm just dismayed by the attitudes
people have towards him based on nothing but wishful thinking, as
far as I can see. These attitudes are shared across the country,
and is making life for this man dangerous. All because he thought
he was going to die and defended himself. His bad luck that he did
so at a time when guns are the new boogieman, and that his
attacker didn't have the common sense to be a white male.<br>
<br>
It's really how quickly and absolutely this narrative I keep
talking about solidified that scares the ever-living crap out of
me. It means the main stream media is still king, and that your
average American still just soaks it right up apparently
uncritically.<br>
<br>
Oh, and I don't plan to shut up, thank you anyway.<br>

don't you start us off? Really, I only post on that guy when you

You're right. He should look properly chastened at all
times so as not to offend people like yourself. I bet
he was laughing at a joke! The bastard.<br>
<br>
I will admit that if he was thinking in terms of PR,
then staging a photoshoot at a gun store was not the
brightest move. I suspect, though, that he can't move
three feet in public without some self-righteous a-hole
tracking his every move and taking his picture. It
won't last long, though. They'll get him in civil court
soon where the threshold for evidence is not so high.<br>
<br>
While we're on the subject, does anyone out there in
viz-land condone the bounty put on him by the New Black
Panther Party? Does anyone condemn it? How about the
multiple death threats he and his family have been
getting? I normally wouldn't ask this, but the
reactions here to this case have so disappointed me that
I just have to.<span class="ecxHOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

FWIW - I disagree that Zimmerman was hunting Martin,
but nonetheless he did fatally shoot him and this
type of behavior is quite the opposite of being
remorseful. But hey, if he wants to stay around
Florida and make himself visible while there's a
bounty on his head, that's certainly his choice and
likely another bad choice in a growing list.<br>

That's the narrative I'm talking about.
It completely ignores Trayvon Martin's own
actions that helped lead to his death and
it exaggerates George Zimmerman's
actions. Following someone down a
sidewalk is not the same as "hunting" a
person. We have exactly zero evidence
that Zimmerman followed Martin in order to
kill him. <br>
<br>
But have fun with the narrative. If you
happen across Zimmerman, get in a few
licks for the rest of us.<br>

<div>Honestly, I just don't get it.
Stalking and shooting is a lot closer to
hunting than self-defense. Why is that
so difficult for you to see?</div>

Well, he and his family do get death

<br>
And there is a $10,000 bounty put on
Zimmerman for his capture by the New
Black Panther Party: <a href="http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/07/19/Black-Panthers-2012-video-for-Zimmerman-bounty-resurfaces/3711374236844/" target="_blank">http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/07/19/Black-Panthers-2012-video-for-Zimmerman-bounty-resurfaces/3711374236844/</a><br>
<br>
So maybe he is in need of a good
home-defense weapon.<br>
<br>
Of course, progressives are not
allowed to feel bad about that
because it goes against the
narrative. Pity, one could almost
feel bad for a guy who is reviled on
the national stage for protecting
himself from getting his ass beat,
whether or not it was his own
stupidity that got him there. <br>
<br>
Oh, well. It's much easier to think
of him as a monster. <br>
