Are we really going to relitigate the Zimmerman thing?
What if Martin had a piece of concrete that he was repeatedly bashing into Zimmerman's head? Would the police have demanded he "drop the weapon" if they had arrived in time to save Zimmerman from his assailant?
It clearly would be a weapon. So what is the difference between Martin bashing a head with a piece of concrete and bashing a head into a concrete sidewalk, as he was? Martin was armed with the sidewalk, so to speak.
And as for the highlighted bit, a 911 operator has no authority to make any kind of orders. Following Martin (even if the operator advised against it) was foolish but legal, but Martin attacking Zimmerman was both foolish and illegal. |

Self-defense is not vigilantism, and by what woke joke stretch of a college kiddo's fertile imagination is it a central feature of American history?
Shame on you for bringing race into it.
Zimmerman, fwiw, is Hispanic. How does "white vigilantism" have anything to do with a case that does not feature white people or vigilantism?
The Rittenhouse case featured only white people, but again, no vigilantism.
Rittenhouse's assailants (three on one) struck him with a skateboard and gave chase when Rittenhouse fled. One pointed a gun at him. Ya think it was just a "claim" that Rittenhouse was afraid?
Shame on you for trying to justify these acts of violence by Martin and the three Rittenhouse assailants. They were the only criminals here. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
