right here in Detroit. All of them bought guns and went through all of the legal hoops to carry legally. All of them carry to protect their homes from the rampant crime in their neighborhoods. They're not crazy right-wing racist nutty George Zimmermans; they're regular folks who protect their lives and what little they have. They would never do what the crazy ass man did to that poor young lady at her concert.

It's so easy to broadbrush and hurl insults on the computer I swear.
