Limbaugh: Zimmerman "just wanted to protect his neighborhood and got a little over-zealous."

KO just showed the clip, followed by Geraldo Rivera's "hoodie" remarks. Said that Limbaugh's idea of getting "a lot over-zealous" must mean mass murder.

He also said the family has collected over two million signatures on a petition seeking Zimmerman's arrest.

Hundreds Demand George Zimmerman's Arrest in Trayvon Martin Shooting in Sanford
10:29 PM, Mar 26, 2012 | 7 comments

SANFORD, Fla. -- Hundreds of people marched to a city commissioner meeting in Sanford Monday to demand the arrest of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Chanting "Justice for Trayvon," supporters delivered a petition with two million signatures, asking to take Zimmerman in to custody.

"DO THE RIGHT THING! DO THE RIGHT THING! ARREST ZIMMERMAN NOW," demanded Al Sharpton of the Sanford City Commissioners.

With more than 500 people packed into the meeting, Al Sharpton had the crowd on their feet speaking about the role race played in Trayvon Martin's death. "You are making the world know you as a place of racial intolerance and double standards," he said.

not protecting anything - he was playing cops and robbers like all children of the past but most children recognize that it is a game when they grow up and they leave their guns at home.
