I would shoot him.

Zimmerman is a moron, but a moron still has the right to defend his life.

Side step the middle man and call the corner directly ?

I'm a reasonable moral person who's not extremely alarmed and concerned. I feel somewhat bad for anyone in Minneapolis who opposes disbanding the police department and will suffer the consequences, but cities and states have always been laboratories for experimentation. Better there than near me.

You can shoot them unless they are black. Then you best let them do what they are going to do.

Both teams love the privilege of calling the cops instead of allowing people to have full unfettered property rights.

No sympathy for either side.

Great question.

Think it through and see if you can come up with the answer on your own.

Yeah, it's one-ups-manship virtue signalling generally brewed up in an echo chamber.

The most interesting thing here is watching the city councils, mayors etc. pander to this saying they'll embark on steps etc.

That's what they always do when you have BLM protests, bad shootings and social unrest which have happened on average every few years. they lie and the morons believe them.

Frankly, the stupidity of the "abolish the police" folks should surprise anybody because it takes a profound level of stupidity for them to believe those city officials are going to really do anything concrete behind those empty words.

Check out this letter from one of our state legislators on the location of a low barrier homeless shelter in her neighborhood:

https://whatcomcounty.us/DocumentCen...ocation?bidId=

Pay particular attention to her first and last paragraphs. This is spillover from Seattle. She is probably okay with disbanding the police. Btw, hers was a minority opinion. She is white, therefore in her mind, “priveleged” as she doesn’t need her Amazon packages.
