No, you haven’t paid attention to what I said. I’m not convinced he’s guilty of 2nd degree murder, but probably a lesser crime instead. I’m speaking more about the rationality and morality of his actions.

My point is that people like Zim, with delusions of grandeur and pretending to be something they’re not (a cop in this case) are dangerous. Even if not guilty of murder, his actions should be condemned. We don’t need self-appointed Charles Bronsons.

How did you arrive at your characterizations of GZ? From statements by police, Zim or the few witnesses?
Those are some nasty little things to say about someone… delusions of grandeur, pretending to be something they’re not, self- appointed Charles Bronson…

Should Z not have called the police, or was he wrong to suspect a stranger walking through his recently burglar- ridden neighborhood?

Was Z wrong to be a member of the neighborhood watch ass’n, or should those groups not exist?

If Z had a CCW permit, was he wrong to have it, or make use ofr it?

As I recall (feel free to correct memory,) Z. wasn’t even acting as a neighborhood watchman at the time, but was on his way to the store. He then spotted M. and called the police and followed M. for a time, but broke off at behest of Dispatch and was then confronted by M., with tragic result.

If George had decided to go to the store one minute later, none of this would have happened.
