D.B. of the Week - George Zimmerman
There were people out there who once adopted George Zimmerman as the face of all that was special in being able to defend oneself.
You remember George, right?
He's the guy who shot and killed Trayvon Martin down in Florida.
He was acquitted in the death because of a 'Stand Your Ground' hole in the law that goes something like this:
1). You attack someone, for nothing other than your own paranoia.
2). They fight back...without a weapon.
3). You're losing the fight.
4). You can to shoot them with your weapon.
D.B. of the week?
Well, the Trayvon Martin 'thing' was a long time ago.
Zimmerman couldn't possibly be honored for being a D.B. based on something that happened that long ago, right?
Well, with Zimmerman it's only a matter of time.
He was arrested again.
This time for allegedly beating a girl.
He's been accused of this offense before.
In fact, it seems we read an update on him every 3-6 months.
He gives D.B. a bad name.
Yet the thing about it is that when the Trayvon Martin story initially broke there were people out there who held up Zimmerman as some sort of face of the NRA.
"Zimmerman was within his rights!"
That's what some genius yelled at me via social media.
I suppose that's true.
We all have the right to be a criminal, paranoid, slob who terrorizes others without conscience.
We are all free to beat our partners.
We can cause as much trouble as we want, really.
Until we are locked up, that is.
Hoping that happens, finally, but I'm not holding my breath.
There are still people on George Zimmerman's side.
Total D.B.
