[quote=Anonymous][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 robberies 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...

I read what you wrote just fine.  Whether  you "support" him or not is irrelevant.    I'm saying that because there was property crime in his neighborhood, that is not justification enough to walk around carrying a gun in order to deter it. Why is that hard to understand?  It doesn't "explain" anything.  If anything, it explains that he's a paranoid whackjob.

And excuse me, but why do my "emotions need to be tempered"?  A child is dead for no reason and his killer is walking around free.  If that doesn't make you angry, then you're not paying attention.[/quote]NP here. Pp, I believe the other pp responded the way she did because she felt you were attacking her as if she were trying to justify what Zimmerman did. Obviously she wasn't.  And it appears from this statement that you weren't trying to attack her but your earlier post did sound like you thought she was defending him.  A simple misunderstanding.[/quote]
