If you tell him to drop the weapon and he doesn't do so, then he's a

not to kill, but to be sure he can't get to me with the weapon. And,

then I'd not mention that the armed, home invader said he wasn't going to hurt me.

You'd shoot him? From what you have posted here, your shooting game is
worse than your golf game. Better get real close.

Gosh, foad, what have I said that makes you think I couldn't hit a
person standing across the room?
As long as I can hit a cantaloupe at a dozen yards, I'll be OK.


I doubt you can hit a watermelon at 36 feet.

I'm sure not the one doing the bragging about out shooting all the cops
at the shooting range! I
doubt if I'll ever be half as good a shot as you say you are.

Never said I could outshoot all the cops at a shooting range. You really do
have a problem with reading comprehension. Or perhaps something more
significant.

Aggressive movements in what direction, dopey? Towards the homeowner on
the other side of the door. Home invasion.

I wonder what "the weapon" was. I notice they avoided saying "gun".

Is this another cop shooting someone reaching for his wallet?


One of the reports mentioned a baseball bat.



Is that deadlier than a bag of skittles or a rap song played too loud? :)

Only in the hands of an aggressor, whereupon deadly force may be used
against the threat. You know,
like that stand your ground situation there in Huntingtown.

I predict you will be involved in a shooting.

Now THAT is an interesting observance. I've known of people who have swayed off their original point they forget where they are.

Perhaps John can blame it on agent orange.. Hmmm. Voice dictation app did
not capitalize agent orange. The question remains, is Rec.boats significant
enough to bother typing responses? Nah. The dictation app will have to do.

The skittles really had nothing to do with anything. The fact that
Martin had them was played up by the anti-gun crowd and the prosecution
in an attempt to paint a certain image of him in people's minds,
including the jury.

The most significant issue is the question of Martin being on top of
Zimmerman, beating his head against the concrete. If true, and
apparently the jury felt it was, that is a cause to feel in imminent
danger of death or of serious bodily harm.

I look at it this way: Did *Martin* have a reasonable fear that *his*
life was in danger when he encountered Zimmerman? It matters not what
you think of Zimmerman, his stalking of Martin (if he did) or his
following him and challenging why he was there. None of those are life
threatening activities.

Being punched in the nose, then sat upon while having your head pounded
against a concrete walkway sounds more like a situation of being in fear
of death or serious bodily harm to me.

Zimmerman is a violent tempered woman beating punk. He walks around armed
so he can shoot people with whom he starts fights.

I'd love to see you doing that when the landlady is home. If she knew
what you're doing here, she'd have you committed.

For how many years has Zimmerman owned and carried a gun?
How many people has he shot?

The answers define whether your accusation that he walks around armed so
he can shoot people with whom he starts fights is accurate or not.

Your accusation of him being a woman beating punk also has never been
proven.

You'd think Harry would be smart enough to figure that out on his own.

Even if what you say is true, it has no bearing on the skittles boy case.
