...calling the police is a formality. I've listened to a few tapes that are more than alarming of 'hard core' gun owners (Zimmerman being one of them.) and what came alive was the clear understanding the actions of the gunman was never going to change. Calling the police was a formality and in doing so proved they were attempting other less lethal methods before actually killing a person of choice.
It could be argued, and very easily, the 'person of choice' is simply anyone acting in a manner the shooter deems 'odd,' even if it is skin color. The Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground provides a platform for 'Trial by One Citizen' based on baseless information. The gunman is acting on 'presumed innocence' and 'fills in the blanks' to justify his/her actions.
The underpinnings of these laws are well known by these aggressive gun owners. The gunmen are well versed in how simple it is to kill another person. Zimmerman knew he was not going to jail or even going to be arrested because he filled in all the blanks he had to with his actions all along the way.
The tapes I am hearing have a police dispatcher stating to NOT ACT in the manner prescribed. Both the dispatcher and the gunman know what is happening and both are going through the motions of the anticipated murder. I am not saying the dispatcher is an active consenting member of the ultimate scenario, but, I do believe the dispatcher knows it is a futile act of 'instruction' to the gunman. I also believe the gunman knows exactly what is going to happen based on the fact 'they always get away' and 'in that' is the idea immediate action before police officers arrive is most prudent and premeditated.
These gunmen are answering the ego ambition 'Give me a reason.' They are exhibiting no inhibitions in acting to kill. As a matter of fact it is a goal. A trained goal.
There is a culture in the USA called "Preppers." Not peppers, PREPPERS. These folks prepare for the destruction of society. Some would call them survivalists. They are more than that. They train for killing others in the idea they will be attacked by desperate people seeking food, water, shelter, etc. They justify their expensive habits of training, purchasing underground shelters, etc., with the idea the USA is so poorly organized within its government structure it cannot contain chaos. It is profound lack of trust of government and in many ways is the underlying premise for the political ideology, "Government is too big, expensive and intrusive, therefore get rid of it." These folks are fanatical in their ideology and seek to be the 'do all and end all' to justice. Self contained justice.
When gun enthusiasts go to firing ranges they have the option of shooting Zombies. The idea is Zombies are 'the living dead.' The Preppers prepare for a full front Zombie attack. The Zombies in the definition of Preppers are those without the shelter needed to live through catastrophe, no matter the source. So, the Preppers are not interested in community so much as self reliance.
When I hear these 911 calls I am hearing men, haven't heard a woman yet, centered on killing. They could be killing their 'inner Zombie' so to speak. At any rate, the Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground law demands nothing of people to be prudent. Those laws demand practice to carry out the PERMISSIONS of the law to kill. They are as much 'mind/thought exercises' as much as gun practice. So, when someone, anyone enters their 'territory' they are prepared to carry out a killing. Legal murder. I believe that is what occurred with Zimmerman. He was prepared both mentally and with the capacity of a gun and munitions to kill in a way prescribed by law which allowed for his ultimate innocence.
The police on the beat are more restrained in acting than the citizens in the Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground. These folks to some extent have occurrences they can site whereby criminals broke into homes or attempted to break into homes prepared to kill innocent people for the purpose of theft or whatever. There are legitimate basis for these laws when such instances are cited and gun owners do not want to be restrained from protecting themselves or their property, BUT, those instances are far fewer than anyone wants to admit within the community of PREPPERS.
The unrestrained use of personal gun ownership is not realistic in the USA. We have well trained police that respond to emergencies and intruders are an emergency. I personally have never been faced with disappointment after calling for help to 911. I don't know people who have been either. Guns have their place, but, the numbers of times a gun actually served its owner are fewer than anyone wants to admit.
These laws are excessive. A convenience store owner has a reason to own a gun and use it, but, only seeks to do so in realizing the person across the counter is not a customer, but, a criminal. The people using guns to 'stand their ground' are exhibiting very poor judgement in their use of their weapons. The laws are excessive and justify the actions of people untrained to discern THE USE so much as THE SKILL in pulling the trigger.
