Neighborhood Watch Heros

Post by _Analytics »

Thinking about the heroism that George Zimmerman displayed last year when he got his gun, followed a suspicious man in his neighborhood and shot him reminded me of another neighborhood hero: Reginald Campos.

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, Campos was a professional living in a nice, new neighborhood on the South side of Salt Lake Valley, and was a volunteer for his local neighborhood watch group. Exactly four years ago, Campos was sitting home when his teenage daughter came into the house terrified--as she was driving home, a creepy guy was following her. Doing what any heroic Right-minded Republican would do, he got his gun, and with his daughter went out to look for this creep.

With her help, they quickly found the suspect, who was still driving around the neighborhood. Campos pulled in front of the suspect and ordered him to get out. The suspect got out of his car, and had a gun. Fearing for his life, Campos did what any heroic red-blooded Republican would do. In his own words as recorded by the call he subsequently made to 911, ""He got out of his car, pulled a gun on me and cocked it, and I let him have it."

It turned out that the creep with the gun whom Campos shot turned out to be David Serbeck--another neighborhood watchman who lived on the opposite corner of the neighborhood, whom he hadn't met.

Thank God for heroes like Campos, Serbeck, and Zimmerman. I feel so much safer knowing that my heroic right-minded gun-totting Republican neighbors are on patrol.

Nothing like more liberal lying..... Using a little truth to lie.

1. The two cases are clearly nothing alike.

2. The case you report was clearly a case of attempted murder, having ZERO to do with actual self defense. The guy with the daughter came out with his gun already out and simply shot the guy, according to the witness with the guy shot.

3. The ONLY thing that's same about these two cases is the "concern" both people had.
ONLY ONE however crossed the line by both having his gun out already, and two by shooting when there wasn't a direct threat, after being told what was actually happening, which the other person was also witness to.

4. In conclusion, this particular case was clearly an upset father who took the law into his own hands and made a series and serious wrong action, thus as usual you liberals LIE to make your false judgments.

Zimmerman wasn't confronting Trayvon, he was trying to keep and eye on him and report to the police his location. Zimmerman didn't have his gun out trying to intimidate a supposed bad guy. Zimmerman also didn't shoot the supposed bad guy UNTIL he was well into being beat to death (which made him a bad guy for sure then).

Thus, you comparing a CLEAR case of self defense, to a case of willful murder shows clearly your lack of intelligence and judgment skills. But, what is new with you liberals. The devil is your buddy.

Please keep in mind that we are doing the world a service, Ludwig.

Because of this forum, Brother fax is able to unload his anger, aggression, and hatred (of people who are not just like him) here with his keyboard, instead of physically on the street. That way he can feel righteous and justified, and he can take the bread and water every Sunday with no guilt feelings for mistreating his fellow children of God.

Because those aren't real people on the Interwebs.

Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good....

What you people should be more concerned with, is not that I'm factually identifying an immoral behavior for what it factually is, but that you people have no problem engaging in that immoral behavior.

Calling something what IT IS, is not "name calling". Learn the difference morons.
Now THAT was name calling. But, I also backed it up by showing how you people are morons.
