So this guy’s neighborhood has been burglarized off and on and the residents are very concerned for their safety and well-being. Neighbors agree to upkick their vigilance and overall level of awareness to watch out for each other and keep an eye out for suspicious individuals and behavior. It could be considered by an official designation such as “Neighborhood Watch”, but officially labeled or not, it is the purest form of Americans watching out for each other and being good neighbors.
So far so good.
So George Zimmerman sees what he believes is a suspicious individual in suspicious circumstances, and intelligently and responsibly pays attention and calls 9-1-1 to report what he sees to the officials. This gesture is proof positive he was not looking to do anyone harm or break any laws, but rather perform the fundamental responsibility of a neighbor who cares.
Doing nothing illegal or improper, he follows the individual while answering all the questions from the 9-1-1 operator to the best of his ability, keeping an eye on the individual so the authorities can hopefully intercept and determine exactly what is going on.
For reasons unknown, though I will comment on momentarily, after expressing racism and hostility on the phone to a friend in response to being followed, the suspect now changes course and turns towards George and immediately initiates a hostile verbal confrontation that quickly escalate to a violent physical assault. Within seconds, the suspect has overwhelmed George, has gained the advantage on top, pinning George to the ground, and further escalates the assault to deadly force by smashing George’s face, breaking his nose, and violently slamming his skull onto the concrete with all his youthful athleticism.
George screams frantically for help as Trayvon Martin pummels his face and head furiously, inflicting damaging and potentially life threatening wounds. Fearing for his life and about to lose consciousness at the hands of an enraged, violent attacker, George Zimmerman does what anyone who wishes to live would do, and he reaches for his concealed handgun, firing a single shot to neutralize the deadly force being wreaked upon him.
This represents the purest form of self-defense there is. It is exactly why people who believe in good over evil carry a gun to protect themselves from the well documented violence that plagues our country, in order to save our lives from a life threatening attack. Period.

This is in essence the 2nd Amendment. Not only do we have a right to keep and bare arms, we have a DUTY to. We have a duty to be prepared to come to the aid of ourselves, our families, our communities, and our state.
We are the militia.
Of course, if you fire warning shots to drive off your abusive husband you get 20 years for self-defense in Florida. No wonder they went after Zimmerman.

Zero parallels in this case. After argument with black husband in his house, she goes outside to get her gun from the car, returns and fires at husband and her two kids, missing son’s head by inches. Court document here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3043726/posts
Betapug,
“[Gray] moved to the living room where his children were. Subsequently, [Alexander] emerged from the master bedroom and went into the garage where her car was parked. [Alexander] testified she was trying to leave the residence but could not get the garage door to open. (The Court notes that despite [Alexander’s] claim she was in fear for her life at that point and trying to get away from [Gray], she did not leave the house through the back or front doors which were unobstructed. Additionally, the garage door had worked previously and there was no evidence to support her claim.) [Alexander] then retrieved her firearm from the glove box of the vehicle. [Alexander] returned to the kitchen with the firearm in her hand and pointed it in the direction of all three victims. [Gray] put his hands in the air. [Alexander] shot at [Gray], barely missing his head. The bullet traveled through the kitchen wall and into the ceiling in the living room. The victims fled the residence and immediately called 911. [Alexander] stayed in the marital home and at no point called 911.”
Notice that the husband went into the living room with the kids and suddenly the wife is shooting at them in the kitchen?? I don’t think either version is quite right. You also state that it was in HIS house when they were at the wife’s house. You and the court may want to consider why the man was at HER house when she had a protective order against him!!!
It would seem to be obvious that the court was trying to make a statement about gun use and NOT any kind of justice.
Nice description.
Also the prosecutor looked like the Hank Kingsley character from the Larry Sanders Show.
The Motor City Madman isn’t crazy after all? Real Science readers might enjoy the TN song Stormtroopin’, 38 years old but surprisingly relevant today.
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
We hear a lot about the 911 call with the screams, I wonder how long the screaming lasted before Zimmerman shot in self defense. Seems to me he used restraint before shooting. Someone jumps me and I’m armed, I do not think I’ll wait for help. One punch = one shot or more.
That is a point no one is making. Most of us would have put multiple rounds into an attacker beating on us. A lot of people yap about him being a cop wannabe. Cops usually do three or more. George Zimmerman stopped after one. I really don’t think he was trying to kill anyone.
Next: Criminal Attorney General Holder [of gun-running infamy] will probably cave to the race baiters and charge Zimmerman with whatever he thinks might stick.
And to hell with double jeopardy, that’s some old whiteman’s law, anyway.

My hotair comment:
It’s freakin obvious that Z was defending himself against a Trayvon attack. Why no injuries to the 5? 11?+ Martin other than to his left knuckle (and gunshot..)? Are we to believe the 5? 7? Z went against the 911 dispatchers advice and attacked this hooded apparent hoodlum? That the screamer and the one on the bottom was the uninjured one? It’s just insane.
What the libs really want is to curtail our gun rights and rights to defend ourselves against thuggery. As I said on an earlier thread:
I lived in center city Philadelphia for several years. It was supposed to be upscale, but nevertheless we were constantly under attack by, and there’s no other way to say it, blacks. Muggings and assaults, even rapes and killings. You always had to worry, even in Rittenhouse Square. Now that I’ve left to safer pastures I hear they now have assaults for fun, where two or more youths attack someone out of the blue, do serious damage, and disappear. In cities and suburbs across the country I hear that these hit and run “joy assaults” are common.
One thing, if these thugs felt that their victims may be armed, they wouldn’t attack. So what Al Sharpton and his ilk are doing is crazy. They want to leave us fully open and vulnerable to attack. We need to fight this bs.
“I lived in center city Philadelphia for several years. It was supposed to be upscale, but nevertheless we were constantly under attack by, and there’s no other way to say it, blacks.”
I think even Obama wrote that when he was alone at night, in a city, and heard someone behind him, if he turned around and saw a white person he felt relived.
That was Jesse Jackson, actually. Good point anyway.
Doesn’t that mean that Jesse Jackson is a racist? And a white racist at that!
Thanks Chris, Well, at the risk of a politically incorrect paraphrase, they all sound alike.
Brilliant! Absolutely dead-on brilliant! That is a keeper. Time for another visit to Piers Morgan.
Speaking of which, I just watched that stupid ‘effin asshole again on CNN, and he is single-handedly going to ruin the reputation of the British here in the States. I mean the hatred for King George was nothing compared to what gun-owners in 90% of America feel for this little twerp. After he has his nightly propaganda-fest ridiculing firearms or self-defense the scumbag most likely gets into a limo and heads for a gated community or hotel himself. I wonder if he worries that the miscreants in NYC will realize he is a unarmed leftist on a passport and helpless? Hey Piers, mind if we distribute your address on Google maps? Asshole.
I’m not sure I can ever forgive our British friends for sending him over here. Shouldn’t he have gone to Paris instead?
