Poor Zimmerman can't go out for a Diet Coke, or to murder someone, without fearing for his life

At least he has a nice Website where people can send him money. Why the HELL didn't I think about that? I DESIGN Websites for a LIVING! Why the HELL don't I just cut out the middle man and do ONE MORE Website where everybody just sends me money that I will enjoy spending? HUH? WHY NOT?

He should go walking around openly. If anyone bothers him he can legitimately shoot them. You would think he would be happy about this turn of events.

For example, if someone walks up to him and says "Excuse me, do you have the time" he can reply "SKIN that smokewagon and see what it gets ya! I said throw DOWN, boy!"



You're right...you WOULD think he'd be happy.

...had Florida never issued Zimmerman a gun permit, he would probably never have hurt a soul in his life. Flame away.

Of course, the domestic violence arrest and the run-in with the cop didn't involve a gun. But my guess is that there's a fatal measure of self-loathing right unrer the first couple of layers of Zimmerman's skin.

All I'm saying is instead of putting the guy on medication, they gave him a carry permit. And I think MSNBC is looking to gain ratings from sensationalizing as much as Faux. It was a eureka moment for me. Saddening.
