Just curious about the timeline. Apparently, in his mind he considered himself a cop.

And even if there is, that is a awefully broad brush you are painting with.

(10,136 posts)Assuming they were prosecuted at all. If so, complain to the prosecutor(s) who did the wrong thing.
It is a data-driven system. Garbage in, garbage out.

(10,136 posts)There is nothing I wrote that could even remotely be considered defending him.
A technical question was asked, I gave a technical answer. If you are confused, please ask for clarifications.

(10,136 posts)Your reading comprehension seems to need work, too.
At no point have I "defended" anything, say nothing of CCW. I gave a technical answer to a technical question. If this has left you confused, please ask questions and we can see about clearing up your confusion.

(1,185 posts)I'm going to imagine there have been some very late night meetings and they are lawyered up. Having been in a HOA, every little thing is a crisis no one can agree on. There are pretty strict laws, as well. But this, probably produced some sleepless nights.

(51,076 posts)as he wasn't a neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman is a murdering thug and not one thing else. Hopefully the next thing he will be is a convict.
I wouldn't want to be him when he becomes a convict either. Pukes like him are frowned on by most in the slammer and my bet is he will spend many a night crying like a baby after he's been violated and had the shit kicked out of him. Both would be appropriate too.
