"He will have to walk it back. Sigh."
My question to you was: Just how does one "walk this back"?
Where--in Rick's vile statements about Zimmerman, a man on whose head is a "DEAD OR ALIVE" bounty (from a violent group)--can Rick "unring the bell" of the now escalated real DANGER to Zimmerman's LIFE?
Rick has now caused Zimmerman's very life to be at stake even more.
Rick knew of the deadly bounty...
yet he knowingly proceded to fuel the FLAMES of the lynch crowd's torches.
