@Pete Do you think, no matter what history a person has, there's a reason to shoot them for going to a store? Though Zimm thought he had a thug free & clear to shoot, opps it was a middle class kid, like any other. Remember Pete. Zimm had lots of guns & ammo, there's always hope he gets off and shoots someone else, all in God's plans ofcourse!!
Live like a gangsta, die like a gangsta.
If there is something wrong with making one's case for self-defense in the media against an admitted "gangsta," then the media should quit begging for interviews. However, George Zimmerman should never have offered to help decrepit Babs with even a telephone interview.
What "admitted gangsta?" You, like GZ, have gone off the deep end.
That was the gold-toothed gangsta's self-description on his webpage. Try to pay attention.
George Zimmerman is a mentally unstable angry paranoid person who was an accident waiting to happen. Even Hannity should be able to see there is something wrong with this guy. Waht is bizarre is people making him a hero.
What is perverse is trying to make the admitted gangsta into a hero.
