Zimmerman gives gun owners a really bad name.
I won't bother quoting from testimony, you know, actual testimony from the trial. You can look at Wendy Dorival's testimony to see why your blanket statement is pure bunk in this case. She was the PD's Neighborhood Watch coordinator. One of many witnesses called by the state who ended up supporting the defense.

Yes...following a kid by car then on foot, putting the kid on edge and then when the kid tells the creep to back off and backs it up with his fists (you know...standing his ground), the trouble making coward Zimmerman shoots him. The jerk got away with this because of people like you who have deep prejudices.

No, the "thug" (way to be subtle...we all know what you mean by that term ) was defending himself from an insane racist stalker. Don't be dishonest.

You didn't bother to quote anything because there is nothing in any quote to counter what I said.

I'll bother quoting from the testimony. The actual testimony from the trial.

Quote:
Guy asked Dorival what the handouts and her instructions tell volunteers to do if they begin following a suspicious person.

“We tell them they don’t do that. That’s the job of law enforcement,”
she replied.

The same instructions apply to confronting a suspicious person, Dorival said. She said her presentation would advise people, “Not to confront, to let … the police department do the job.

They’re not supposed to take matters into their own hands. … Let law enforcement take the risk of approaching a suspect,” Dorival said.

Where it comes to BLM it seems the argument generally is "listen and do what the police tell you and you will stay out of trouble".

Seems Zimmerman is the exception.

It looks like you quoted from an article, not her testimony, especially not from her testimony during cross-x. Like I said, it doesn't really matter. The gun auction was cancelled. He's still not guilty.

The trial proved that Martin was the racist one.
