[Vision2020] Zimmy beams as he tours gun factory

[Paul Rumelhart]

You're right.  He should look properly chastened at all times so as not 
to offend people like yourself.  I bet he was laughing at a joke!  The 
bastard.

I will admit that if he was thinking in terms of PR, then staging a 
photoshoot at a gun store was not the brightest move.  I suspect, 
though, that he can't move three feet in public without some 
self-righteous a-hole tracking his every move and taking his picture.  
It won't last long, though.  They'll get him in civil court soon where 
the threshold for evidence is not so high.

While we're on the subject, does anyone out there in viz-land condone 
the bounty put on him by the New Black Panther Party? Does anyone 
condemn it?  How about the multiple death threats he and his family have 
been getting?  I normally wouldn't ask this, but the reactions here to 
this case have so disappointed me that I just have to.
