Can't be that easy, Trayvon Martin couldn't do it.

Many, both nationally and internationally, believe Trayvon Martin was justifiably defending his rights in this nation by perpetrating violence.

Like Trayvon Martin engaging someone with fists knowing they could have a gun.

Just sayin', since you've dropped a name.

Reality says Trayvon Martin was not armed to the teeth and therefore was not trolling for trouble. But an adult who is still a child did. No wonder Zimmerman even beat up girlfriends. After all, his manliness was at stake. His ego even justified that attack and his need for guns.

Unfortunately those same type people also want to solve problems with immediate and illogical military deployments (ie Vietnam, Mission Accomplished, Syria). Unfortunately those same type people created our recent economic malaise using soundbyte reasoning rather than learn from history. Plenty of Zimmermans exist out there justifying violence, destruction, their need for 155 mm howitzers, and even fist fights.

You seem to be implying that whether or not the person who brings a situation to fisticuffs is being childish, depends on whether or not they were trolling for trouble.

You also seem to be implying that whether or not a person is trolling for trouble, depends on whether or not they were armed.

Reality says that tw applies different standards to different people depending on his opinion of them, circumstances permitting.

A child worries about his ego. Only a child (of any age) needs to stand his ground to be respected. Those are reasons (actually emotions) and justifications that Big Sarge provided to justify fisticuffs. Unfortunately too many adults still feel that way to justify fist fights, wars, revenge, or even torture.

Also amazing how one so fears an attack especially when America has never been safer. Superstitions replace reality when emotions replace knowledge. More big weapons and a need to justify violence exists because one fears rather than thinks? Because one's ego is so important? Because it is essential to stand your ground and prove you are a man like a childish Zimmerman?

Men solve confrontations by eliminating a need for violence. Yes, some violence is unavoidable when one adult is so much a child. But in most cases, violence is mostly due to someone who fears to be dissed rather than solve the problem. Too many adults actually fear their ego might be bruised.

Big Sarge called that being a sheep. Reality: a good fight only benefits the emotions in a child. Nobody wins - no matter what the emotions say. Violence is not how a responsible adult or responsible nation solves problems. Scary are so many who refuse to understand the difference between an adult and an emotional pre-16 year old child.

Children have not yet developed a part of the brain necessary to be responsible. So we do not let children drive cars. And should fear children carrying guns for the same reason. And yet we still have some adults who only think like children. Who justify their actions (violence) to protect an ego.

Scary is that some just don't get it. They actually think fisticuffs (or shooting your Uzi at a rival drug gang) solves problems.

That's what I said, you have a double standard. One for people who live the way you want them to and another for those who don't. Then you try to spin rationales for it. So childish.

George Zimmerman's girlfriend recants
allegations he threatened her with gun


Samantha Scheibe, who refers to Zimmerman as her "boyfriend," said in a sworn statement obtained by NBC News that she felt intimidated when she was questioned by police about the Nov. 18 incident.

"I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to the police. I do not feel that the arrest report accurately recounts what happened," she said.

"I am not afraid of George in any manner and I want to be with him," Scheibe stated.

Back atcha.
