Rowan gained public notoriety on June 14, 1988, when he shot an unarmed teenage trespasser, Neil Smith, who was on his property illegally. "The interloper was a near-naked teenager who had been skinny-dipping with friends in Rowan's pool, and the columnist's weapon was an unregistered, and thus illegal, .22 caliber pistol." [5]

It's hard to imagine. Stop by soon..we can role-play it and gain some insight. You can be the punk bashing my head on the concrete and I'll play the guy with the pistol.
If I initiate contact and I get to play 'guy with gun' we don't reach the bashing head on concrete stage.
That is something I have not heard addressed; Zimmermans incompetence to be carrying a weapon while playing the role of Big Man.
