I have no idea if I'm arguing, debating or agreeing with flameswin half the time.

Good times.

And he has to know that he is under the microscope and that the media would see this. It really only serves the purpose of gloating. Even his own lawyer face-palmed over this and found it story worthy enough to comment on.
agreed, I'm surprised that he did it too but it wont be long until he's pushing up daisies

Nobody who was willing to endanger him is mad about him going to a factory. Nobody. It's simply not what's pushing them over the edge.

The idiots made their minds up before this went to court. You want to call Zimmerman an idiot, by all means do so I wont disagree, but don't act like this endangered him at all.

I would call it insensitive but if he honestly believed that gun saved his life, that's his call.

Don't worry, I don't even know what I'm saying half the time.

All I know about you is your the guy who loves Big Wreck, and I honestly start humming Big Wreck songs instinctively when you post, even I hated the post.

While I sit and stare!!!! Cause yeah that's rare. I really love that tuuuuuune! Man, I love that soooooong, I really love that sooooooong, I love that song!!!!

I think that's what we were both saying though. I don't think me, Flamesaddiction or an anyone else is really saying anything other than "Why in the hell did he think that was a good idea?" and "Because of this his chances of getting killed have likely gone up".

Which it seems is exactly what you and RedMileDJ and others are saying. I think we're all saying the exact same thing, but some of us are using harsher language and coming from the side of hating Zimmerman.

While others (you guys) are coming from the defense side, so are using more pro-Zimmerman language, so were not noticing that we're all saying the same thing.

Is that really what happened? he just decided on his way home from the store to randomly attack someone and they were armed?

You and Zimmerman have a lot in common.

Not randomly attack someone, no. But there's about as much evidence Martin was the aggressor as there was Zimmerman. Despite what you constantly spew.

I think we should reserve judgement until we find out what she was wearing.

You know, logic says that if you are getting arrested again less than 2 months after you just got acquitted for another crime, you might be doing something wrong with your life.

I mean, unless you are doing some sort of civil rights protest march or something, regular people just kind of avoid getting arrested based on the fact that they are not doing anything wrong...
