Quote from mrbill:
Sharing. A long time ago, back where I grew up, let's just say a big city in the East. During our later years of high school, a few of the guys would go and, sorry for this, the term used was Roll Queers. We would collect a few hundred dollars, nobody got killed or anything, but it was the most disgraceful thing I ever saw. I say disgraceful because even though I didn't throw any punches, I didn't do anything to stop it. Perhaps that's one reason why I so dislike the hatred of any group, black, white, gay, whatever. So damn sick.
I think I know your response - Bring them punks on, I'll slaughter them, as well you should if something like this were to ever happen in our, more enlightened times.
The point is that some, perhaps not Zimmerman, but some people do go out and look for trouble with others. And, the hatred can get out of hand.
Again, just sharing.
