There should be no threats made anywhere against George Zimmerman.
Please don't provide George Zimmerman with excuses for any behavior he decides is reasonable. We already know his ideas are dangerous even to himself. His attorney is stating Zimmerman's apology was premature. In other words, Zimmerman made a bad decision to make a statement of grief of his actions. Well. Zimmerman makes a lot of mistakes and that is what makes him dangerous. His decision making made him dangerous the day he killed Trayvon Martin and that decision making is still obvious today. No one should be providing Zimmerman with excuses for actions he decides is important. Please.
That is not honoring the death of Trayvon or the dedication his family has shown to their son. The movement has been very effective and it is a dignified expression of the sorrow at this loss.

For years, gun laws had grown less restrictive. But some gun rights advocacy has been curtailed after the Trayvon Martin shooting, which has provided ammunition for gun control groups.
Will Americans leery of a decade of gun rights expansions stand their ground over the Trayvon Martin case?
For years, gun laws had grown less restrictive. But some gun rights advocacy has been curtailed after the Trayvon Martin shooting, which has provided ammunition for gun control groups.
The Feb. 26 shooting of the unarmed teenager in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, and the initial police decision not to charge Mr. Zimmerman, sparked a national debate about race and violence in American society....
The death of Trayvon Martin is very complicated. It does involve race and racism. There are definitely stigmas attached to the African American experience in the USA. There are also gun laws in question. Then there is the violence culture. The way this death happened raises many, many questions about the ability current Florida laws and social cultures exist and why a completely innocent and wonderful young black man is dead. I am confident Trayvon is high profile, but, not alone in his death when others are revealed across the country.
It would be wrong to direct more hatred, more violence and any type of death threat toward Zimmerman. It would validate his fears the day Trayvon was killed and provide a venue for injustice and sympathy for George Zimmerman while justifying the gun lobby's vicious campaign of violence. The answer to finding justice for Trayvon Martin does not exist in violent actions, but, in finding the injustice of violence and the death it caused.
