If he can beat up a girlfriend or push a guy that he didn't know was a cop, he'll take that.

I don't see this as a gun-rights issue. It's simply a bad miscalculation by a soft ass dude playing cop that got in over his head. Believe me, without that gun, he wouldn't have been so truculent.

Sad thing is, i know he wishes like hell he wouldn't have ever left that car. It's all bad going forward from here.
Do you have tomorrow's lottery numbers, too?

You've heard wrong. Check out the other Trayvon/Zimmerman thread for what information/evidence has been released.

There is no evidence of murder

The only reason the hateful idiots on here want a murder conviction is to somehow right all the past wrongs done to you

Get a clue...... your lives will still suck just as much as ever and the only thing that will have changed is that a man got wrongly convicted

Only to an idiot (most respndants on here) with their ghetto trash hood mentality is following someone a reason for beating someone down..... I bet you guys think that "talking ****" is a reason to permanantly disable someone too

Nah... I know, would never happen. I do think someone should have to demonstrate a need to carry. Regularly transporting cash etc.. Just giving permits to anyone without a criminal record seems stupid to me. You tend to end up arming a certain type of personality that probably should not be armed.

If he had any convictions for violence, he wouldn't have been issued his concealed firearm permit.

dude, WTF are you talking about? Zimmerman violated EVERYTHING about repsonsible gun ownership I learned from NRA's Eddie Eagle when I was kid. Douchebags like him give ammunition to anti-2nd amendment liberals! Why didn't this guy have hobbies or a job or something! all he did was call 911 whenever a black walked down the street. As for as murder conviction, I am not an expert, it was probably manslaughter or negligent homicide or something

Yeah, and the other wanna b toughguy ended up dead..... if Trayvon didn't try to act to gangsta (attacking someone for doing nothing more than following him) his sorry butt would still be alive.

Darwinism at its finest....

Yes or no..... following someone alone is a reason to get your ass kicked

Thats what I thought

It was self defense

What type is that?

Is it the type that has no history of violence?

Maybe it's the type with a clean psychological history.

Perhaps it's the type that has no felony convictions on their record.

Yes, let's keep guns away from those types. That way, only crazy, violent felons will have guns. Just like it is in Chicago.
