a man calls 9/11 over 30 times since 2012 and carries a gun

what did they think would happen?

Zimmerman should have been arrested at least after the 5th false call.

He should have had his permit taken away especially after being arrested for violent assaults.

I worked at a psych hospital in the 90's and at least 3 times in the 2 years I worked there people were brought in to the locked side for evaluation and held.. after they had been arrested for making false 9/11 calls.

They often were manic and delusional.

So now.. here is a guy still roaming the street after calmly killing what he delusional perceived as a threat.

are they waiting for Zimmerman to kill someone else ?

about this. Why was he allowed to call 911 so many times for non-emergencies and not arrested for this? Was Zimmerman an informent?

He doesn't sound so calm to me.

As more info comes out, I am making my own mental picture of what happened: kid is walking back from the store, talking to his girlfriend on the cell phone. Neighborhood bully sees him and fixates on a "problem" (entirely in his own mind). Kid pays him no attention, still talking on the phone, which enrages the bully. Bully decides to attack and the result is one dead kid.

If he killed somebody else, then maybe we could do something?

This drama is a reworked Police Squad episode.

My always changing and revising opinion based on the dribbles and smatters of evidential slime oozing out of our video is:

The killer grew up in a life of upper class privilege. This literally gave him a wallet full of get out of jail free passes, due to his daddy-the-judge.

Normalization of deviance* is one point of view about how this came to be. It's commonsensical, in this case. The kid got away with crime his entire life. He was trained to be above the law his entire life. Secondly, this kid escaped any societal quality control because anybody that shoots to kill another human being is almost automatically one utterly lacking in empathy and rational thought. A healthier society would have hopefully have found a way to prevent this man from killing people by the most humane means possible.

It's also galling that our two tiered justice system is running blown and on fuel for this guy by the local POWERS THAT BE obviously exploiting some cockamamie "run out the clock" law on a time limit to be charged with murder. 180 fucking days or something? I hope there's enough non-corrupt means left in American Justice to do what's right for this race based lynching.

I'm shopping this vid on DU because I think it can be used as a tool to better understand the entire cluster fuck of all our institutions being infested with corrupt sociopaths.

In theory they could charge him 25 years from now if that was when they felt they had all the evidence.

Of course they have all the evidence they need to charge him right fucking now. And they should. But he doesn't get a free pass if they fail to charge him within 180 days.
