Just a reminder: before George Zimmerman, there was Mr. Joe Horn of Texas

22. Your post is rightwing, paronoid bullshit.

In general, police agencies across the country perform their job of protecting citizens reasonably well. There are some exceptions. While a person with a gun can hold people that appear to be in commission of a crime, that person has no moral right to act as executioner of the held people, even if those people are career criminals.

I see a tougher call in the case in Wisconsin where a man shot a teen who came onto his porch while running away from cops that were closing down an underaged drinking party. I don't own guns, but even I would be angry and have concerns if a strange person was hiding out on my property and I had no idea of why that person was there or what he was doing. I can see a person shooting an innocent person in darkness in that situation. I can't accept what Zimmerman did, his actions appear to be calculate and criminal.
