17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL

[VMI77]

It's interesting that when the media wanted to portray him as a vigilante, they stated many times that he was a "self-appointed neighborhood watch leader".

That is a core part of the left's mantra --that only "professionals" can be entrusted with weapons and only "professionals" are capable of defending themselves. Us common people are supposed to be passive victims and wait for the 'properly trained professionals." We must simply accept our fate, be it a beating, rape, or death. It's not "safe" to defend yourself...much safer just to be beaten to death or shot....and anyway, self-defense is immoral: that is the message the MSM and the lefties seek to convey. Some people actually believe it.

What is immoral? Someone running at me with a butcher-sized knife, what do you expect me to do? At home I will run for my AK! Take that MSM and lefties. And, I am properly trained, we are the professionals.

The left views self-defense as immoral and it's a belief they use every opportunity to propagate. It's a notion that is embodied in the law in places like the UK.

Zimmerman is trying to get bodyguard protection to help him from getting shot, by the people that have been so upset about somebody getting shot. How may death threats has George gotten so far? I hope he lives long enough to see his whole trial. Even if found innocent somebody will try and get him. He'll never have a normal life He'll go into hiding......Bahamas,peru, rio de janero

I said it before, but it got lost in the mix...I grew up in South Texas, "The Brush Country"...lots of folks with one Hispanic and one Anglo parent...closest thing you can get to "conservative" Democrats down there...lots of firearms...very few folks of African-American decent...as long as he doesn't have a problem with scorpions, tarantulas, rattlesnakes, and darned near every plant having a thorn or "sticker" on it, he'd be just fine...man, now I'm hungry for breakfast tacos with huevos con chorizo y pappas fritas...dang.

You will get absolutely ZERO argument from me concerning that statement. "The common people" = "peasants, peons, serfs, etc"...dirty knuckle-dragging teabilly peasants clinging to our guns and religion in flyover country who should shut up and let our betters, the mighty, wise, oh-so-educated and elite leftists tell us how to live and act. While I am NOT advocating any sort of improper or illegal actions, my patience with that bunch of bullmanure is wearing really thin...

That was where I grew up too....everything that moves is poisonous and will bite, everything that grows has thorns....but you learn to live with it. Becareful, shake out your boots before you put them on, wear your boots and tough jeans daily.

Now I am craving puffy tacos.....mmmmmmm

Have you all noted that no one talked about the crime wave that hit that neighborhood committed by young African-American males? Helllo, Mr Sharptan, can your read that article please?

Zimmerman has "black" roots not that race matters.

Finally! Some thoughtful reporting.

I wonder if Travon’s prints were compared with any that might have been found at the burglary scenes.

Gee he looked pretty much bald to me...

It seems that liberals think they have found proof of a racist legal system in the case of John McNeil of Georgia. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/what-if ... n-georgia/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You be the judge.

Hmmm. I guess you don't want to tell the 911 operator that you plan to "whip someones ass" and then shoot them.

Not even a close comparison. Sorry, but once you read the whole article, that becomes apparent.
