Actually per zimmerman it was that "**** coon" that was looking suspicious.
I've listened to that clip several times. It can sound a lot like "**** coons". It can sound like "funny cones".
I've also heard "Srawberry Fields" played backwards and heard, "I buried Paul."
The strange thing about these events....regardless of anyone's bigotry, or not-bigotry, they are entitled to defend themselves.
It wasn't that long ago that people here were bashing a MN permit holder who shot and killed a person who had robbed someone else. Several people, before the facts came out, were absolutely CERTAIN he had violated the law and would most absolutely be charged. How did that ultimately resolve?
Those of us who teach PTC classes tell our students to shut the **** up and not talk to the police without a lawyer; don't give interviews or press releases. Now, when someone seems to have followed that advice, everyone wants to jump on his s***.
To those of you who are certain that Zimmerman has committed an unjustified homicide, if you carry a pistol for self-defense, THIS COULD BE YOU TOMORROW. The circumstances may be a little different, but all this hate and "certainty" could be directed at you. Maybe you should stop carrying today.
