So George Zimmerman just got shot at by some guy who claims he was threatening him.

1. Should I act surprised?

[MADem]

2. Why this thread is just not good.

1. It doesn't explain anything.

2. It shows an "E" covered with rust that those of us who are not clued in know nothing about. Is that supposed to mean something?

3. It sounds "gunny." Is it a gun thread?

4. There's no background. Most of us know who that asshole Zimmerman is; but there's no LINK to a story, no named shooter, no location, none of that who/what/when/where/why stuff that makes for acceptable reporting.

So, I'm asking: What are you talking about? Please provide details. A link would be swell.

3. Hint: Photo is of an iron 'E'

5. I'm Navy--are we talking about a Battle E? D'OH!!! IRONY!!!!!!

I found a link, for others like me who have no clue as to what this story is about!!!

14. And there have been 5 GD threads on the shooting

Apparently not enough.

21. Well, the GD fool is his own worst enemy.

[raccoon]

17. Plus, the use of he, him, etc. makes it unclear. Who was threatening who? nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. OK, I give up.

What's the answer to the quiz?

[MADem]

11. IRONY....I didn't get it either. Don't feel bad. nt

[HappyMe]

6. ....

Oh noes! Poor thing.

7. Zimmerman will say he did nothing. Gun fanciers have a checklist of things to say in case they

screw up.

Unless a witness saw Zman wave his gun first, I think the shooter is in trouble.

Zman has his lawyer on speed dial, and has taken courses for gun lovers that train you what to say if you are involved in an incident.

13. If it's the Matthew Apperson I found on Facebook.....

.....looks like it takes a gun nut to catch a gun nut.

Not sure if that's him, though, so I won't speculate.

18. The previous NRA president's son spent 10 years in jail for shooting someone in road rage

incident.

Gun nuts are not stable.

9. LOL

Iron E

[ann---]

12. It looks more like wood, to me.

[Chakaconcarne]

20. You mean like a Wood "E"?

Probably Zimmerman's after he got shot at and had hoped to return fire but........

[ann---]

10. What does that mean?

The "E?" Where is the story?

[bravenak]

15. I was like 'wat?' About that E then I was like, 'Duh, Iron-E'

[backscatter712]

16. Will the guy that shot George get to claim Stand Your Ground?

I certainly hope so...

19. Sweet sweet irony.
