SIMMONS: Bill Cosby weighs in on Trayvon Martin case
The Washington Times ^ | April 7, 2012 | Deborah Simmons

Posted on 04/08/2012 9:23:24 AM PDT by Greystoke

“The gun.”

Trayvon was killed Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who told police that a “confrontation” with the unarmed 17-year-old led him to shoot in self-defense.

......

Mr. Cosby, a Navy veteran, said “the gun” empowered Mr. Zimmerman, whose actions have stirred a firestorm of debate, protests and remarks from President Obama.

......

“We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch,” said Mr. Cosby, whose remarks were the first he has made publicly about the case.

Eric Holder’s people hate guns in the hands of non-Eric Holder’s people because they consider violent crime to be a legitimate career path, and armed victims to be an OSHA violation.

“When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said

So why do cops cary them.....

“When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said.

Quite the opposite. If you're a law abiding citizen, you carry a gun so nobody will get killed, especially yourself.

Zimmerman was not kicked in the head until he was a vegetable or dead.

Poor Mr. Cosby doesn't understand why.

The gun has hired an attorney and plans to plead the 5th.

I suppose when his son Ennis pulled over on Mullholland to change his girlfriend’s flat tire, an Evil Gun flew into the hands of a Russian mobster and forced the peaceful mobster to shoot Ennis dead.

Yes, if Zim didn’t have a gun, Traybone would be alive today and Zim would be in his grave or in a coma with major brain trauma. Good joke, huh Bill?

Typical leftist idiot response.

Of course....it wasn’t anything that the “sweet, innocent little kid” Trayvon Martin did to get shot (ie punching Zimmerman, breaking his nose, knocking him to the ground and then hitting his head against the concrete....all after having first told Zimmerman that he was going to die that night).

Oh nooooo!

It was the damned gun’s fault!

Ye gads, what dementia is this thing called “progressive thinking”?

Had Zimmerman not had that gun he would probably be dead and Trayvon would still be prowling neighborhoods in his hoodie.

If “the gun” did it, why the heck are the Hollyweird “celebrities” and the Black Pampers wanting to lynch Zimmerman?

Pretty soon, it will be “The Reverend Dr. William Malcolm Cosby, Jr.”

I’m fairly sure the Mr. Cosby has security that are armed with only Jell-O pudd’in pops, right?
