Hi Humans,
So the Zimmerman trial is over and Zimmerman has been aquitted. I don't know if Zimmerman's version of the events leading to the death of Travon Martin was true or not, but the prosecution had the burden of proof to convict him. They were not able to convince the jury of his guilt with absolute certainty.
Looking at Zimmerman on the television screen, I was struck that he looked like a little nebbish. He had volunteered for a neighborhood watch program, carried a concealed gun, and tried to act like a big policeman (which he was not). His inept vigilantism resulted in tragedy. One wonders how many nebisshes are out there in the human community who feel the need to carry a gun to make up for their lack of self esteem. The gun lobby feeds on those people who enrich the gun manufacturers by buying guns to somehow make themselves feel important.
We dogs don't have such needs. We know we are just dogs, and we don't need guns to make us feel more important than we are.
