Here’s the hilarious praise from **Steophan** for convicted murderer Michael Dunn, who shot at fleeing children, in case anyone missed it earlier:

> People like Zimmerman, who was trying to prevent further burglaries in his neighbourhood, or Dunn, who wanted the selfish scumbags to stop their antisocial noise pollution, are the sort of people normal people want around them.

Feel free to read the entire post, in fact, just to make sure I’m not missing any context. In the very next sentence, he says Dunn, that convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children, was “trying to improve their lives and those of the people around them”. Seriously, he really used those words to describe a convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children.
