LOL, WTF is this crap!?
If I was George, I would have tried to buy every damn gun in this country, and I still would.
Angela Corey is scum.

Of course the sensationalizers will paint this as a racist militia or sumfin. How many death threats did the Zimmermans get. Maybe this will provide an opening for the Zimmerman counsel to explain what a racist jihad George has come down upon his head. This can’t just be another run of the mill disputed killing case... oh, no, George was gunning for the “niggers”!
To: marktwain
...Zimmerman was easygoing with police when they arrived at the scene of Trayvon Martin's shooting, but according to new evidence from the FBI, he was afraid for his life in the weeks after the shooting... Why,in God's green earth,would he have developed such a fear????

The Atlantic is far left bird cage liner. I would have been looking for another gun if I was Zimmerman too. Actually, I would already have my choice of several self defense worthy guns to choose from.

The guy had a bounty on his head, courtesy of the New Black Panthers.
Would you have depending on the police to protect you?

Bad move on Corey’s part.
Opens the door to Spike Lee’s erroneous tweet, Black Panther $ bounties, Al Sharpton’s threats, and Eric Holder’s improper undermining of the local police.

Angela Corey is scum She's only a pawn in this whole saga, this is being run by the White Hut in their attempt to keep white guilt alive until the election. Expect a lot more of this crap between now and November.
To: marktwain
One shop owner told the FBI Zimmerman had called and said "his life was in danger and he needs more guns." Gee, with the cops locking up the one gun in evidence and the Black Panthers putting a bounty on him, who wouldn't be in the market for more guns?
The Sentinel's coverage notes that Tim Smith, the first officer on the scene of the shooting, told FBI investigators he found Zimmerman with his back wet and covered in grass stains, bleeding from his nose. That suggests Martin was on top during their fight -- a key piece of evidence in Zimmerman's self-defense claim.
That's good.

Well, looks like nothing has changed - every single shred of evidence to come out corroborates Zimmerman’s story and not a single thing contradicts it.
To: marktwain
"...according to new evidence from the FBI, he was afraid for his life in the weeks after the shooting became national news..."
Having "Reward-Wanted Dead or Alive" posters calling for your death, as well as having morons like Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr releasing your address (even though it was wrong), will do that to you.

Can he prove it was Zimmerman who actually called?

NO, He did not!
He tried multiple times to buy A GUN!
NOT “more guns”!
He ALWAYS has a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to SELF DEFENSE!
AND, he continues to be the subject of multiple, active threats on his life!

One shop owner told the FBI Zimmerman had called and said "his life was in danger and he needs more guns." Um, duh. I think I would run out and buy more guns too.How many threats did he have on his life at the time?
This isn't odd at all.
