Beat me to it. Bronson dishes out serious punishment in Death Wish III
The “author” sounds like he may be doing too many recreational drugs. First of all, Zimmerman was working a Neighborhood Watch. Secondly, ZIMMERMAN WAS NOT A VIGILANTE. Kenny boy here needs to do a little research.
He was always one of my favorite actors.

“Vigilantes make lousy cops because they have an ax to grind — or they wouldn’t resort to being vigilantes in the first place.”

Who said they were “vigilantes”, jackass?
Oh, that would be YOU.
Old, transparent Leftist trick: Set the terminology ground rules to tilt the argument from the outset.
A screed a child might come up with. Seems the author gets his views about serious issues from fictional Hollywood characters. My twelve year old boy is about at the same level now. I often have to remind him movies are just movies, but I’m hoping that he’ll grow out of it, so he doesn’t become a liberal journalist.
As another observant poster has noted, he sets up a straw man. What makes it more pathetic than the usual liberal tripe is that he’s too lazy or stupid to tear it down himself, so he needs pithy lines from play actors to do the heavy lifting of dispelling the shadows he sets up.
Personally I have no problem killing anyone - anyone - trying to murder me. They are trying to take everything away from me, plus take me away from everyone and everything that depends on me.
No problem. Man, woman, punk kid. No problem at all. Mentally there because I am going to do everything to survive.
The left far better than the right knows how to identify, personalize and destroy its enemies and it has very acute early warning system for threats to its ideology. The left knows that the stand your ground law was a safeguard to protect innocents from the mob. Regrettably, the mob magically erupts in full cry whenever it can exploit race for political gain even at the cost of fundamental justice. We have seen it in the Duke lacrosse case and in the Tawana Brawley travesty. Indeed we have seen the same players strut the same roles.
The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the Second Amendment. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the individual from the lynch mob. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the dignity of the individual free from assault. The stand your ground law has been enacted restore the natural right of self-defense to the innocent. The stand your ground law has been enacted to restore the public streets to the law-abiding. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect victims of racialism. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the individual from ambitious prosecutors. The stand your ground law has been enacted to restore proper balance between the individual and the state.
Ultimately, the stand your ground law has been enacted to save us from the kind of demagoguery one reads in this article.
Right on.
I don’t make distinctions about getting my assets handed to me or getting g a thrashing from anyone who initiates violence against me.
My only concern is to end the the threat to me.
Any man who commits first action and aggression against another should expect it will be met with an equal or greater force to end that aggression against.
It may result I don’t in death answer forever stain the conscience of the defender for the result.
I have been attacked and defended myself and regret every instance and outcome.
I hate fighting and while I never instigate nor initiate and don’t condone violence , I won’t cede my right to self defense.
Fictional stories are interesting when they mirror real life. In the case of “The Unforgiven”, the writer selects his dialogue to provide the reader with an insight into the mind of a killer, when Eastwood’s character, Will Munny, makes a couple of moral judgments: “It’s a hell of a thing, killing a man,” and “You take away all he’s got and all he’s ever gonna have.”
The plot of a movie or any other form of fiction must be honest in order to succeed. Any obvious lack of authenticity destroys the ability of the audience to suspend disbelief and there goes any emotional impact.
The Propagandist has a different objective than the artist. Instead of making the story mirror reality, the storyteller must make reality seem like his story. To do this he must be deceptive. Deceitful things like equating George Zimmerman with Will Munny, then implying that it was Travon, not Zimmerman, who “stood his ground” in the face of danger.
The “Stand Your Ground” law applies to the victim and was intended to give the victim a better chance to defend himself. Bad things that can happen include the “perp” disarming the “vic” and killing him with his own gun.
But he "stood his ground."No. He was flat on his back with a 6'3" thug straddling him, banging his head repeatedly into the pavement. HE SAVED HIS OWN LIFE.

LOVE IT!
Is the idiot author suggesting that a victim should accept a sound thrashing and rely on the skillfull thug to only crack open his skull but not actually kill him?
I think that is what this idiot author is suggesting, along with all his dem/media cohorts... that in cases like this the victim should trust in the basic goodness of his/her attacker.
Get right with God, cowardly libtard. Your kind ain't gonna make it in the future.
