    This is an abbreviated version.... The crux of the matter is that Zimmerman thought he was a cop.......

    Bill Cosby believes guns are no laughing matter, and are the real reason Tayvon Martin was killed.

    The famed comedian said in an interview with the Washington Times posted online Saturday that volunteer neighborhood watchmen like shooter George Zimmerman should be forbidden from carrying guns.

    "We've got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch," Cosby said in his first public remarks about the case.

    "Without a gun, I don't see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself," he added. "The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. Even police call for backup in similar situations."


    "When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody," Cosby said.

    Bill is making ignorant statements in this case. People who carry guns are not all looking to hurt or kill somoeone. If that were the case, the gun crime rate would be astronomical given the number of guns we have in this country!

    Most are responsible, but then you have a Zimmerman.

    Another eliteist telling others how to live.
    If funny man had a brain, he would have read the National Nieghborhood Watch rules where it forbids carrying of weapons.
    Zimmerman was not on his neighborhood watch when he had to shoot poor little Trayvon.

    Maybe Cosby could comment on black on black crime and the endless shootings in Chicago...a gun free zone.

    Are people arguing that she should go free and it was justified?

    Does Cosby have an armed bodyguard? My guess is, he does.

    Wouldn't that be a hoot? Both Bills (Cosby and Clinton) could speak out about what's involved in being serial rapists. So perhaps it is best if the true experts in each field do speak on the subject.

    He is correct in the sense that the gun gave Zimmerman courage, because there is no way in hell his punk ass would have run into the dark chasing someone if he didn't have that gun.

    I agree.. People who want to play cop or profiler shouldn't be armed.
