Exclusive–George Zimmerman: Why Hillary Clinton’s post-Las Vegas comments are ‘dangerous’
Big League Politics ^ | 10/05/2017 | Neil W. McCabe

The former Sanford, Florida neighborhood watch volunteer, who was found not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, told Big League Politics Hillary R. Clinton’s suggestion that Capitol Hill Republicans were partners in Sunday’s spree-shooting in Las Vegas was a disgrace.

“Frankly, I am just disgusted that Hillary Clinton made the comments that she did without out knowing anything—and that is the most dangerous thing that anyone in politics can do at this point,” said George Zimmerman, who was a neighborhood watch volunteer the Feb. 26, 2012 evening Martin jumped him and struggled for his gun.

Under pressure from the public and the media, police charged Zimmerman with murder, weeks after police initially declined to charge him.

Zimmerman said Clinton should have should restraint given the emotions that are unleashed after a shooting tragedy.

“Politicizing this, we already know it is going to get turned into a firearms issue, which we already know is polarizing and is extremely dangerous,” he said.

Clinton made her comments in a long-form interview with the Center for American Progress “Thinking CAP” podcast.

Podcast co-host Igor Volsky asked the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee if Capitol Hill Republicans and the National Rifle Association were complicit in what he called an epidemic of gun violence.

“Of course, they are,” she said.

“I obviously feel strongly about this and what we saw happen in Las Vegas was just another horrible example of, you know, people with too many guns and too few restraints being able to now kill,” she said. “I just find it terrible and sickening.”

“One of the first things that Trump did when he became president was to undo the regulation from the Obama era so, you know, mental health records no longer prevent you from buying a gun,” she said.

Zimmerman said he had one question for Clinton: “Can she unequivocally say that the Las Vegas murderer did not use any rifles from Eric Holder’s Fast and Furious deal?”

Taking up another one of Clinton’s points, he asked: “Why is she going out and making comments about silencers or suppressors, when nothing is known?”

All of it had a familiar ring, he said.

“That is what they do,” Zimmerman said.

Still a tragedy to think what the media did to Zimmerman. That same hag judge also blocked Zimmerman from even suing the media for that edited 911 call.

Yes.

Zimmerman did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong.

He took a pounding, willfuly. Until finally he knew he had to pull the trigger.

And then the leftists democrats, Obama, and msm, destroyed him.

Despicable.

It could have been any one of us.

Remember when Bill C made some of the most outrageous demands for new laws, and tried to make them palatable with the words...”To protect our children!”

“Zimmerman did nothing wrong. “

Except letting his suspect get the advantage on him.

With liberals, it goes beyond guns. They largely deny any right to self-defense. They hate private gun ownership mainly because it allows a regular citizen to protect himself without the intervention of the all-powerful state - and if needed to protect himself from the same all-powerful state.

C’mon. You know if Zimmerman would have shot him off the bat, he’d be crushing rocks in some federal facility.

I’m thinking too that Rick Santorum lost his 2012 momentum when without evidence he “endorsed” Trayvon Martin. Santorum’s record was not that bad, but he made a bad error of judgment on Zimmerman.

no I don't know because when Hillary says "you know” the Next words out of her mouth are always a whopper.

********************
Even well known right-of-center conservatives rushed to judgment against him. He was so non-PC that they turned their backs on him.

Yep - might as well have said if he had used an H-Bomb, many more would have died....
