I guess in JSt0rm's fantasy world, criminals only attack you while you are "on duty".

While in the real world, TM case being a fine example, punk criminals can and will attack you at any time. If you need to carry a gun for protection, it would be silly to only carry it some of the time.

So he didnt follow TM?

I think it's silly to carry one at all. And I own 13 of them including 5 handguns. 😀

You said "I totally want a jackass nutjob walking around my neighborhood randomly picking fights"

GZ didn't do *that*.

Did he follow TM? Briefly, to see where he ran off to, probably. Just like I briefly follow people when I walk my dog, or when I walk through the grocery store, or when I am walking to my car from the office at work.

If you think following someone is justification for assault and battery... wow, you live in a sad sad world.

I think trayvon's criminal history, pictures he posted of himself with guns and jeantel's testimony are how I came to associate him as a thug. I thought that baby picture of trayvon the media blasted everywhere was grossly inaccurate.

but you can apply that to any kid that never had a positive influence or a positive environment. jeez, had i not met a guy from Merrill Lynch and worked for him i would have had the same type of mentality any kid with no opportunity or aspiration has these days.

Is it really stalking though? It seems more like following a suspect? Do store owners following around suspected shoplifts ever get charged with stalking?

If i follow someone down the street, is it stalking? Doesn't/shouldn't it require more than one occasion of following?
Click to expand...

yeah, follow someone down the street, and not knowing who they are and what their capabilities are. expect either a peaceful follow or someone pissed off at you following them minding their own business and get attacked. that would be your call, except if you're a wimp carrying.

No. Trayvon was a thug. He acted like a thug, he posted shit online saying he was a thug.

His name doesn't matter. You're just attempting to diminish the argument that he was a thug by making it about his name.

I don't care if he was an albino named Steve. Thug is a thug is a thug.
Click to expand...

you're full of bs. how many white thugs named Steve gets shot by a coward, similar to yourself, that posts on online media and labeled a thug?
 
TechBoyJK said:
What if Trayvon didn't get in trouble, get moved to a new neighborhood where nobody knew him, and go out looking for drugs for his lean drink?

What if Zimmerman was never born?

What if... what if?

Absolutely meaningless dialogue.

this is the dumbest thing i have ever read. continue on dummy. 😛

I can only hope my kids aspire to be the model citizen that Trayvon was. Curse that George Zimmerman, Trayvon was going to change the world! Cure cancer! Win a Nobel Prize!

What's sad is the victim blaming and the lack of parenting that would neglect to teach their kid that viciously attacking and trying to bash a man's head in isn't the best course of action for a fruitful and productive life.

If George hadn't killed him, it would have happened sooner or later anyway.

I think its good that George Zimmerman comes back up every once in a while. I don't agree with everything he did, but he is the perfect example and lesson for gun owners who carry. You can try to do what you think is right, found legally not guilty, but can still get your life destroyed. It happens all too often but doesn't get much press.

Being aware of all this, I am a much meeker person when I'm carrying and since I carry almost constantly, I have become much more forgiving. Right or wrong, it isn't worth destroying my life over what I think is someone being a dick/douche. Drawing that gun is only to defend the life of myself or someone I love.

victim blaming/lack of parenting? seriously? these kids live and fight another day just in their environment.

have you ever stepped outside of your cushy life and see what these kids have to go through in their day to day?

From your statement it seems that it was an inevitability?

What I find offensive is how an asshole gets singled out with so much attention but countless irresponsible "parents" who has no business in having and raising kids gets a free pass for massively burdening the society they are in gets a free pass all the time. These people are collectively are infinitely more assholish than one GZ will ever be.

I don't really know or care if GZ was right & justified in what he did, or wrong & guilty...

It's a major douchebag thing to try to turn a profit from a situation where a life was taken.

It's just me, but if I were forced to kill someone, even if I were 100% correct in taking that action, it would probably haunt me for the rest of my life.

Yup.

Well, to be fair, George is probably hurting for money. Big time. I haven't heard of him having a job since the shooting. Who would want to hire a guy like him? Even if you agree with him, just the notoriety would be toxic, the protests, etc.

Every single person on this forum. How is that for starters?

No, you stealing a Snickers bar from the gas station when you we're 12 when your "best friend" peer-pressured you into it isn't a "rowdy" violent teenager. You didn't do jack shit. You were a good little boy that did his homework daily.

Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise 🙄
