This is the strongest argument by the liberals to date. The solution would be not to remove the weapons from the community but rather to be sure that anyone like Zimmerman is not alone.
If people could always be in teams of two, maybe such things wouldn’t happen. Zimmerman did call for backup but was attacked before the cops could arrive - something Cosby doesn’t seem to realize. If Z had stayed in his vehicle he might have been safe but he might not have been able to tell the cops exactly where he was either.
Pretty sad, though, if the best the people calling for Zimmerman dead or alive can offer is that Zimmerman would have been safe if he always had somebody else with him. It’s sort of like saying that an old lady walking out alone at night is asking to be raped because the black gangstas just can’t help themselves, any more than feral animals can help themselves...
The argument that an unarmed person wouldn’t have the bravado to confront somebody else is interesting in light of the fact that Trayvon was unarmed and still attacked Zimmerman. If it wasn’t a gun that gave him the bravado then what was it? Drugs? If so, then it probably didn’t matter what Zimmerman did, because he was attacked by somebody stoned who was gonna do whatever he was gonna do anyway.
