Who, in their right mind, would auction off the gun that killed a kid. I don’t care how bad this kid was or wasn’t because that is not the issue. George Zimmerman killed someone, it is not an act to celebrate, to be profited from or receive fame after the fact.
Who cares about this guy? He deserves no notoriety.
Agreed. If I ever have to defend myself or family and it resulted in the death of someone, it would be tough life altering experience. Yes, I killed someone hell bent on hurting me or my family but I killed someone just the same.
I was confronted once by someone who was threatening me with violence. My first reaction was I wish I had had a firearm and then after thinking about it a bit, I am glad that I didn’t have one because the end result would have been that that person would be dead. As it were, the situation defused itself and I never saw the person again.
And to this day — several years later — if I had killed that person, I would still be very remorseful and it would be something that I would ponder ever day... for the rest of my life.
Another one of those inconvenient truths that got lost in the blizzard of rhetoric and propaganda was that Zimmerman was a democrat who supported other democrats.
Conservatives didn’t come together and “circle the wagons” to defend Z because of his ideology - we came to his aid because he was an American citizen who was being railroaded by the lamestream media, the SJW’s, the professional victim groups, and even the (so-called) justice department.
I’ve seen 6-year olds with better judgement than Z but he is still entitled to a fair trial. In the wake of his acquittal he has done some remarkably boneheaded things, things that normal people would hang their heads in shame over, but defending his right to a fair hearing was still the correct choice.
