He is not a CCW hero. He was a cowboy, a rent a cop wannabe who got a big head and a puffed up chest when he strapped on his gun. Was the shoot justified? Yes. But his conduct after his exoneration indicate that he is not just a meek and mild citizen who just happened to be jumped by a bad guy.
Oh come now, he didn’t even shoot at Trayvon till he was about to lose his gun. A proud man would have taken the first opportunity to shoot, not what was just about the last one.
And if he was a cowboy... there are worse ways to go yeehaw.
So you didn't follow the case? You probably still think that Trayvon had iced tea in his hand and was a choir boy, right? Mr. Zimmerman was on his way to the grocery store in his Honda Ridgeline when he saw a suspicious person casing homes in the rain. He was not "on duty" as the captain of the neighborhood watch. I hope and pray that you are never put in a situation where a younger, stronger man is beating your head against the pavement, about to disable or kill you and the only choice you have is to shoot your assailant. Miss Rachel Jeantel's testimony (you've heard of her, right?) sealed the deal.
Someone earlier mentioned someone having a screw loose. Sounds like that could be you???? He is entitled to live his life anyway he pleases - and make his own choices - just as Trayvon Martin made his.
LOL! Then it really doesn't matter what your opinion is of him is. I carry in my car. If I ever need it I really could give a flying **** if some armchair moron calls me a "rent-a-cop wannabe" as long as I come out on top in a similar situation.
Shupnoob fool.
