With all due respect it appears that GZ is actually showing his true self (which, imo was apparent with the entire Trayvon debacle), he is indeed himself a worse "thug" than he himself accused/portrayed Trayvon. A serious mental disturbance at the very least!

Could not agree more...

We all know he's "innocent" by law for what he was charged with.

He was guilty for everything that happened that night, though.

I wonder how many of these staunch George Zimmerman supporters would, in their private thoughts, really and truly support someone carrying a loaded weapon and "patrolling" the streets where they live and their children play.
He is definitely not too bright and although I would NOT support him carrying a loaded gun in my neighborhood "patrolling" the streets, I don't think he would last too long on the streets of Chicago safeguarding the community...maybe someone should send him an invite.

It's foolish to carry a gun and not be prepared to shoot it.

It's also foolish to carry a loaded weapon, instigate the situation and then retaliate..

post trial GZ behavior warrants a prison stint, which will also ensure, no permit to carry concealed and no weapons in his possession.

GZ seemed to have skated a lot on his violent behavior, I still hope this is the one charge that will put him away for a bit. He's a danger to anyone in arms length of him.

That would be stupid. However that wasn't the point and the Jury did not find Zimmerman guilty of this.

The point, which I was responding to, is the mime that having a loaded gun, legal under the law, possesses the party holding it to do violence. Or that simple possession of such is intent to do violence. It doesn't & isn't.

I have reported your accusation to mods so we'll see if they are real or not. This is what you are supposed to do when you see suspect something foul on threads.
Thank you for this post as I can't rep you again. The beauty of the George Zimmerman saga is that wherever you find people putting forth the notion that Officer George's story is "irrefutable" and "he broke no laws" you will find people at the ready with a reality check. I can see why it might be annoying to Zimmerman's supporters, but I am happy to advocate for reality until the killer is finally off the streets and in Bubba's welcoming embrace in a Florida penitentiary.

Thanks again!

I guess GZ wasn't prepared enough to shoot or he'd have fired before he was on the ground. Unless you think his plan was to sucker TM into getting on top of him and Then shooting.

I can't imagine that one reading your questions, would still overlook the logic of the situation, but it occurs, with responses only based upon Zimm's (imaginary) point of view. They will state that "TM approached him and Z needed to defend himself", believingthe lie of Z's head being banged on the ground, supported by those initial, bloodied photos he had his friend take. There is much more about the story that is unreal and I have no idea how one would choose to believe any of it, apparently being prompted by something else.
You rock!

George's Walter Mitty With a Gun fantasy truly crumbles under the lightest scrutiny. I mean, he got the "I shot him" part right, but everything else, lol, it's like a five year old sharing last night's scary dream. It grows more and more fantastical with each retelling. And, seriously, if you begin your story with an elaborate lie - Shellie and I spent the day mentoring unfortunate black children, we ate dinner and then I just happened to be going to Target (with a quarter and no credit card and Shellie not having been home since their fight a day earlier) - I cannot imagine a greater "tell," to be honest.

Heh, even one of the detectives called him on the physical impossibilty of removing the gun, aiming and firing in said position. Discovery is a wonderful thing.

Ah Hah, we're back to GZ shot him from a few feet away and those injuries to GZ were self-inflicted or from running into a tree. I go with his pals in the SPD helped with the injuries back at the station.

Even better than discovery ... a trial.
