Lawyer: George Zimmerman should not be visiting gun factories

[branford]

66. Unbelievable.

You fully realize that I'm no conservative and that there's no contradiction at all in my thinking. I assume you're just frustrated and irritable about the Zimmerman acquittal.

I heartily support the First Amendment, even if it protects a television channel I don't agree with, such as Fox News. We do not need the First Amendment to protect popular speech.

I also support the Second Amendment, but need not, and do not, like George Zimmerman.

I believe in a classically liberal interpretation of the entire Constitution. The same liberal interpretation that protects a woman's right to choose, privacy protections and other liberal values.

I do not make exceptions to my liberal beliefs and values because those that may disagree with my politics also benefit. If so, then I would NOT truly have liberal values.

You certainly may believe what you wish. However, when you pick and choose when to uphold your purported liberal values, you are not liberal, you are a hypocrite.

As to the topic at hand, I've already stated that I do not like Zimmerman. He needlessly killed an unarmed teenager and currently may be dangerous because he has a hero complex. Nevertheless, he was acquitted in court and can legally buy firearms. Most importantly, I fear that the constant attention given Zimmerman will encourage some idiot to attack him, and the result will be the unnecessary death of the assailant, Zimmerman, or worst of all, innocent bystanders. You cannot possibly believe that would be a good outcome, no matter how much you believe that a miscarriage of justice was committed, unless you believe in vigilantism which is certainly not a liberal value.
