I guess some people aren't getting that Zimmerman was the "punk" in this story. I sure don't want the likes of him running around my neighborhood at night.
What liberals don't seem to fathom is that lots of people have had encounters with punks like Treyvon and they are rooting for Zimmerman's acquittal.
I recall a news story when I lived in Tampa that described how the driver of a car reached into his glovebox, pulled out his Glock and blew away some punk who was trying to highjack his car. Everyone in my office cheered when they learned about that.
Yeah, well in my town some punks broke into a guy's house to steal the stash of weed is son had told them he had, and he managed to get to his gun and shoot and kill one of them while the other two ran away. And the police didn't charge him with anything, no charges for the shooting and no charges for having the weed.
And we all cheered that one. I get that. But that's not an equivalent scenario to what happened to Trayvon Martin. He wasn't stealing anyone's car or breaking into anyone's house. He was minding his own business and Zimmerman should have minded his own business...or let the police handle it.
