George Zimmerman is not guilty, but now the feds are attempting to find something ANYTHING in a case where Zimmerman should have never been charged with any crime. This article makes that crap even worse.
Following the news that the Department of Justice has ordered prosecutors in the George Zimmerman case to preserve all evidence, including the firearm he used to shoot and kill Florida teen Trayvon Martin, a Florida gun shop has stepped up to offer Zimmerman a free gun. A letter was sent to Zimmerman’s attorney, from the Volusia County gun store, Pompano Pats. The letter reads:
Upon receiving your confirmation that he is well within his legal rights to concealed carry, our company would like to offer Mr. Zimmerman a free firearm. We currently have the same model in stock, or he could (choose) another weapon suitable for concealed carry.”
The letter goes on to say “We have read numerous reports of death threats against your client and believe no good would come from harming him.” Keeping that in mind, and keeping in mind that Zimmerman has already killed once, based on what many believe was nothing outside of his own fear of minorities, and his own paranoid perceptions which led him to feel “threatened”, what is to now prevent him from killing another innocent person or more than one? Since Florida Stand Your Ground Law allows you to shoot another person based solely on whether or not you “felt threatened” it seems likely that Zimmerman will kill again.
Again, guilty of NO Crimes, not even any assault charges or violence. He has one dismissed case of “Assaulting an Officer” for laying his hands on a police officer who failed to identify himself as such. He also had a messy breakup with his fiancee where restraining orders were filed, then dismissed.
He shot a teenager who was beating the holy hell out of him, and shot him while he was being pummeled on the ground with Martin on top of him. Yeah, Zimmerman is a meat-eating serial killer!
Still good on the gun shop for offering him a free piece. I hope they talk him into something higher-end than the Kel-Tec PF9 he was carrying. As you can see from the video, the PF9 is a serviceable gun, but frankly it can’t compete with the guns in a higher price bracket. Maybe a Glock26, a S&W M&P9c, or a Kahr CW9 or CM9 would be a better choice if price is off the table.
I tire of the meme that states all you need to do to legally kill someone is “feel threatened.” There is nothing in the law that says that. The law states “reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony.” Furthermore, the Stand Your Ground law has precisely NOTHING to do with the Zimmerman case.
The key words being “reasonably,” and “imminent.” In the Zimmerman case, even the President has said that Martin would be justified under SYG to kill Zimmerman in self defense, because he was being followed. There is no basis in the law for such a statement. No one can possibly say that the simple act of following someone reasonably causes that person to believe that a forcible felony is imminent.
+1 to the Gun Shop. But I think Zimmerman and his Wife REALLY need to get to a GOOD Firearms Class down there, and spend some time on the Range also.
And I’m sure a Good M4 or two in their Home might be useful, also.
The “investigation” and lawsuit will last until November 2014 or until the minority base vote is 100% motivated.
