Blog Credo

George Zimmerman

So, yeah.  Who could have predicted that he would turn out to be pretty much a violent sociopath?  Besides everyone who wasn't invested somehow in hippie-punching people who thought it was awful that Trayvon Martin was killed for possession of Skittle and a hoodie.

And as the Creigh Deeds story reminds us, too, the only thing America has more of than crazy people are weapons.

USA!  USA!
