You are imploring people to pursue innocent others in order to MAKE A POINT. You could easily have made your point without advocating scaring the shit out of innocent people and yes, such doings WILL scare people and very well might evolve into violence, yet you think YOUR POINT is more important than those people.

Your post is disgusting, and you still haven't removed O'Mara's innocent daughter from the request and are still suggesting - actually BEGGING - that people follow around other totally innocent and unknowing people scaring the shit out of them and possibly inciting violence for no fucking reason than YOUR POINT that those innocent people won't know a fucking thing about.

Who says I am advocating scaring anyone? There ain't nuthin' wrong with that. I don't advocate scaring anyone at all. This is perfectly ok in Florida. Just point out, when you're talking to these people that there ain't nuthin' wrong with following suspects in your car while you are packing heat, and they are walking.

They are armed too.

They have the pavement.

I really, really do. I have had as much training on the matter as George Zimmerman, so, if I see her somewhere, you BEST BELIEVE I have as much right to be there as she does. Or any other suspect for that matter.

And there are LOTS of them. I'm dialing 911 EACH time I see a suspect and then I am going to follow them.

I have as much right to be there as they do.

The same people that see nothing wrong with what Zimmy did can't accept his behavior in the context of your OP. They even find it "disgusting".

Seldom have replies to an OP proved the point of it so obviously.

I was actually the sole person agreeing with you so far.

The replies in this thread suggest that stalking someone -or even suggesting that- is "disgusting". Yet this same behavior seems ok in the context of doing it to Trayvon.

YOU are making crap up as you clearly are clueless about what I've said here about it, and if you're that clueless about one person, it's not hard to extrapolate that you haven't done your due diligence and checked out what others posting in this thread have said.

It's vile because it's a fucking invitation to stalk this girl. Who the hell knows who's reading things on DU.

I actually think this thread is making a valid point.

In no way do I condone stalking anyone. I hope that this is true for the author of the thread too. I didn't read it as such, although I see that most people do.

Take Mark O'Mara's daughter for example...*on edit: or any other individual you deem "suspect". Remember YOU have as much training on this matter as George Zimmerman, law abiding citizen.

Let's say your suspect is walking, oh I dunno, to a college class or home from the convenience store, ain't NUTHIN' wrong with following your suspect while your suspect walks and you're in your car (aside: how slowly do you have to drive to "watch" someone while they're walking?)

Ain't NUTHIN' wrong with that.

Nuthin'.

Just a law abiding citizen driving *with* a loaded gun and just *watching* her. Ain't NUTHIN' wrong with that.



I too understand what the op is so badly driving at. That hardly means that every person reading it will. It suggests following someone with a loaded gun. The poster may have meant to invoke irony, but she fails quite badly in the attempt.

they might be, slowly (I mean, I guess slowly, maybe some suspects walk fast)

And when you tell a repig this...that 'ain't nuthin' wrong with following a suspect' **and** said suspect just might be "their kid", they back off their celebration of spite.

Just tell them...ain't nuthin' wrong with that. Nuthin'

Law abiding citizens packing heat.
