This isn't the first time George has hit the news since his debut on the national scene. First he beat the beJesus out of his now ex-wife, AFTER he threw her under the bus in the same courtroom HE walked out of. Oh yeah, he DID walk her up to the courthouse steps, but then shoved her through the door to take the rap for something HE told her to do in the FIRST place. Never mind that she was there at HIS trial every single DAY! Such a guy! Then he beat up her iPad, then a girlfriend and NOW he's sitting in the county jail after yet another fight! Now, I'm just a simple ol' boy from Austin, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, must be a duck, and George has been quacking his tail off!
George has had more altercations than an officer walking a beat in East LA. He beat up an iPad! Oh, I'm sure the iPad knocked him down, broke his nose, and beat his head on the sidewalk. He has learned a little self control, however. He didn't SHOOT the iPad. Now let's get down to stats here. Hey, KC Massey, how many fist fights have you had in the last two years? How about you, CJ Grisham? That's what I thought. The winner, and still champion, George ZIMMERMAN!
Do you suppose that George just might have some issues? You think? Now I know that Trayvon Martin was a rowdy kid, I'm not minimizing that, but have you ever considered that ol' George just might have walked up that whipping that night? Maybe a smart word, a motion, a look, something. George is a stocky MAN. Trayvon, for all the press, and it's been volumes, was a tall, skinny kid. Is it just possible that George walked up to Trayvon and got punched in his smart mouth? I mean since his exoneration he's certainly shown an perplexity towards imposing his will on whomEVER gets in his way, be it an iPad or woman, or old man, ya he did that too.
Now I'm gonna commit second amendment suicide here, but do you just suppose that Georgie might be one of those very special people that we DON'T want to have a gun? Open Carry Texas supports gun safety, the responsible use of weapons with classes, education and plain old common sense. We all want that. We all want citizens to be able to defend themselves responsibly. Now, let ask some questions. Do you think George Zimmerman would have even exited his SUV that night if he wasn't packing? Do you suppose that 9mm pistol might have bolstered his ego just a tad? And, just for the sake of argument, after the fight ensued, is it just possible that the fight that night would have been just that, a fight, and nothing more? We will never know. Trayvon Martain came from an urban world where people don't walk up on you, or stalk you from a distance. I have a black friend from LA who lectured me once telling me, after I DID have an incident with a young thug. He told me NEVER let ANYONE walk up on you, or even observe you in the dark. Trayvon's world was HIS world, and his advice has served me well.
As George arranges bail this morning, we must all step back, and consider all these things. While we do not want to relax our efforts to support our second amendment rights, let us not check our common sense in at the hat check rack either. Perhaps this may even be one of the very sound reasons for an armed society. There ARE George Zimmermans out there, and people DO have a right to go to the store and buy candy, even in the rain.
