ORLANDO, Fla. —

I would have a press conference with my Kimber on my hip and would let the world know that I would not take threats to my family. Period.

Cowards.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe they are concerned for their kids. I know I would be.

I heard on the radio today that some in the MSM (Chris Matthews) and some left-wing whackos are now claiming that Zimmerman, who was following that car on the road, caused the accident so that he could be seen helping them.

They are cowards. Easy to say from behind a keyboard? I wasn't behind a keyboard when I wore my Ann Coulter t shirt in this Cindy Sheehan so-called peace demonstration. That family wouldn't be around to cower like rodents if not for Mr. Zimmerman and the other person!

Assuming they are concerned about their safety, don’t blame them. Just another compelling example why GZ consciously or subconsciously profiled TM, why people lock their car doors.

If they were offered money and that made their decision for them then they’re worse than “cowards”.

Yep—Let’s teach thoise kids a lesson. ALWAYS go along with the mob rule lest they turn on you for doing the right and moral thing. After all, look what happened to George.

And the police report didn’t redact their email addresses. I’m sure they’re living in fear now.

Im sorry i know im new here and i apologize if this comes off
wrong. But calling this man a coward doesnt follow what we are
about. He has two little kids a wife. a family to protect. These black panther thugs and obama voters kill themselves over shoes.

do you think for one minute they wouldnt kill this guy if they
had an easy chance? Im sorry but they are not cowards.

I can understand where you are coming from, but I cannot direct any ire at them. Not everyone is a fighter.

The mob lost this one, and now they look like a bunch of racist liars, and they know it.

“I’ve long had a policy that I don’t talk to any media whatsoever for any reason at anytime, ...”

Afer having been mis-quoted on several occasions in the distant past by one of the local fish wrappers, I adopted your policy as well.

“Not everyone cares about having their fifteen minutes of fame. I, for one, have no interest in being interviewed by anyone from the MSM about anything. Period. They twist everything for their own agenda and do not have the interests of the interviewees in mind.”

Well said.

I am in agreement with you.

Think of our heroes, the ones we emulate, the ones we model...

..they ran toward danger...

and many, if not most, had children, wives.

Thugs have always been with us.....

..and so, thankfully have our heroes....defenders of the faith.

Cowards. Teaching your children that mob rule is the law of the land is Not a good thing.

A man's got to know his limitations. It's one thing to stop a criminal one-on-one when the thug is just trying to take your jewelery or big screen TV. It's entirely different to stand up to hundreds or thousands of criminals who may put a whoop ass on your kids, when you're not around, simply because you chose to tell the truth about someone who has become a symbol of individual rights, which the left hates.

One of the better posts I've seen on the Zimmerman events said GZ's biggest mistake was leaving the truck and getting into a situation where he might have to fight, when he's not a fighter. Not that it was illegal, immoral, or the wrong move in general, just that it was a mistake for GZ. It may be the same here - standing up to a mob consisting of several million street thugs is not for everyone.
