The gun-toting moron? You mean like Zimmerman? I'll take my chances on meeting his dumb ass.
And I suspect that if you aren't pounding his head into a concrete sidewalk, he might even come across as a nice guy who just wants to play cop.

You may be right. It's more his style to threaten women and old men. Oh, but wait, I am an old man.
You need to take a serious look at Zimmerman. Trouble follows that man like a shadow. There is something seriously wrong with him. I sure hope you're not one of those who hold Zimmie up as a hero. Long before he met Martin, he was fired from a bouncer job for smashing some chick's face into a wall. He was in court for assaulting a law officer. He has since threatened an ex-wife, an ex-girlfriend, and a father-in-law with a weapon. He has a bit of a feud going on with some other guy, who has shot at him. Zimmie is a trouble magnet.
I suspect that one day, we'll read of Zimmerman eating his own damned gun. The man is unstable.

So what? Given how much of his troubles follow an incredibly terrible part of his life, I'm willing to give him some time to figure things out. After all, who else is going to have stuff like that published in national news? He reminds me of Rodney King, the guy who was brutally beaten up by four LA cops. That guy never really changed his stripes either and for a few years the press would report that sort of thing. Life moves on. Maybe Zimmerman will become a better man, maybe not.
But I know you wouldn't be taking your chances just meeting him on the street.
