    The Sanford Florida incident....

    I've been going over this incident with some friends who are on both sides of the political aisle and I'm trying to stay neutral and gather intel before I fry this guy, but I figured this was the best place to flesh out some good perspectives.

    Have at it:

    Avoidable stupidity.
    May or may not be criminally stupid.

    This is the fear that seizes me whenever my boys are out in the world: that a man with a gun and an itchy finger will find them “suspicious.”
    I believe that if we examine statistics we'll find that the primary danger to his boys isn't really the people who find them "suspicious".

    ...but that wouldn't make for a very good article, I suppose.

    If you ignore the 911 dispatcher when she tells you not to pursue someone, it's hard for me not to think you were looking for a fight.

    Members of The New Black Liberation Militia plan to take 28-year-old George Zimmerman to federal authorities this week since local police haven't acted, said Najee Muhammad, a leader of the militia group.

    "We'll find him. We've got his mug shot and everything," Muhammad said.
    That should prove to be interesting.

    This story's on every frickin' TV news channel and AM talk radio and in my opinion there's a lot more important things going on in our country right now.

    It does bring home at least one lessons about self defence:

    -If you're not a police officer, don't try to act as a police officer! Had Zinnerman just stayed in his car, this likely would not have turned into this kind of a mess.

    The dude was well-known to the local constabulary as a holster-sniffin' Strange Ranger.

    This is why I hate the "Can I shoot him now? How 'bout now? Now?" nonsense that occurs in the "Tactics" section of firearms forums, as shooters build elaborate scenarios in hopes of being given the green light to shoot the imagined perp. Left unchecked, it leads to mall ninjary such as this guy's.

    Was he legal? Based on everything released thus far, it sure looks that way. But nobody had to die that night.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Maybe it would have eaten at his soul if he'd done nothing.
