You let this armed menace to society, who thinks that guns solve all his problems, loose on society. When he kills someone else, and he probably will, you will be co-conspirators to the murder. OK, maybe not legally, but certainly morally and ethically you have already terrorized two different women and it's only been a year. How can you sleep at night?

person one day, and it will probably be lights out for him. He needs to be in intensive treatment, given that the better option didn't pan out (prison). He has issues. Big ones.

Zimmerman would never pull that on a person of equal strength. He pulled a gun, knowing full well Martin was unarmed. He beat his wife, knowing he could take her on. He beat his girlfriend, knowing he could take her. All his antics are always and from here on are going to be on weak defenseless people.

has a gun, or will not know that a neighbor or bystander is in the area, or something. It will be his "whoops" moment.

He knows that statistically any encounter he ever has with anyone else they would not be armed with a deadly weapon.

Zimmerman bets his life on it.

One day that bet will be called.

Wow - they sure call it - and him. That's precisely what he is: a public menace. I suspect he will be his own undoing someday, but I fear who else will be seriously injured or killed before it happens. At any rate, a guy like him is the LAST guy on the planet who should be allowed to have or carry a gun of ANY sort. With serious issues he denies and for which won't get serious treatment, a chip on his shoulder the size of the Island of Manhattan, and a sense of entitlement bigger than the romneys, that was so thoughtfully granted to him by those friendly and gullible jurors a scant few months ago.

I believe several said they felt he was guilty but the evidence wasn't there... huh, jury? if you feel he's guilty based on what you've heard, find him guilty of murdering the boy!

I hope he can be taken out of the public for a long enough to stop his freakishness...but I doubt that. I fear for those close to him.
