11. Your opinion is how I feel about private people likeZimmerman terrorizing unarmed people

before 9-11, this wasn't a problem.

Now here, it is a day by day happening. Anytime, anyplace, anyreason

It really matters little the reason, it is happening.

BTW, historically, in times of trouble, here in the USA, people in uniform are much wanted.
The Police, the Fireman, the EMS worker, all good union people. All putting themselves in danger to protect people they don't even know. They too are average people.
They are not perfect, but no human is perfect.

Political party or politics makes no difference.
And this doesn't equate to any war.

Sorry, but to me
"If you you see something, report it, say something", damn right I will.

The regular people in the world, all people cannot function if they are not safe by some
singular or two or small group attempting to speak for the majority of people.

And I have seen the man on the street interviews this morning in NYC, all different people different views, races, sex, etc. Haven't seen one person saying they want the security to disappear.

this is a bi-partisian fear that terrorists bring.

One can say no to both terrrorism, and individual Zimmerman's with gun
But to say no to them, means systems in place to stop them.
And there could be.

And yes, it's a shame the Norman Rockwell days are over.
BUT-the Norman Rockwell days NEVER were here in the first place.
And in the US history, there has been to many segments of the population, terrorism in a day to day existent.

See the Jackie Robinson movie for examples of that.
Back a few decades, terrrorists came in sheets with eyeholes and torches in their hands.
Something was done about that, and those things don't happen much anymore.
It can be stopped.
