[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:41 - Agree.

No one has mentioned how odd Zimmerman sounds?!?!  No emotion, flat affect, as if he knew what he was going to do all along.  If he lived in a  gated community, WHY would he need to carry a gun?  In case a kid with skittles walks through?  WTH?  [/quote]

im not supporting zimmerman but am more answering your question.

[b]the neighborhood was supposedly plagues with [b]robberies[/b] and this is partly why zimmerman may have been carrying a gun and calling himself a neighborhood watch person. [/b]
im not excusing what he did im explaining why he had a gun only.

and i agree with you that he sounded like he was going to do something from the jump and nobody was going to convince him to do otherwise.[/quote]

You think it's reasonable to carry around a gun to try to deter PROPERTY CRIME?  There's been a rash of car break-ins in my neighborhood.  So it would be perfectly reasonable for me to walk the neighborhood with a gun and pop a cap into anyone who was breaking in to a car?

Perspective, people.[/quote]

you need to stop getting emotional and actually read what i said. i said im EXPLAINING why zimmerman had a gun. it doesnt mean i support it. it am simply answering her question to the rason why he felt the need to have a gun. ithe decision to have a gun wasnt rooted off because he thoughts it was a cool thing to do. he thought he needed to protect himself.

again emotions need to be tempered. i tried clear as day to explain that im not supporting what he did with my response but it still got read the wrong way...

Not robberies.  The neighborhood had a series of break-ins, burglaries.  Those are the crimes where the victim is not present.  Robberies are a different thing entirely.[/quote]
