George Zimmerman Arrested Again

[Sawyer]

Hi, I'm new on a comic book movie forum, where should my first stop be? The X-Men boards? A Batman thread? Misc. Films? Nope. I'm gonna check in on the George Zimmerman thread.

Hey, that's not fair. He made one post in a thread about comic stuff. Though I do genuinely wonder why so many make their first stops in religion threads, politics sections or threads like this.

I was willing to give Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt since there clearly was an altercation, but his behavior since the shooting makes me very doubtful of his account.

I believe his account. His account to begin with enforces the fact that he's a horrible human being simply because the police told him to stand down and he continued on anyways and that he admittedly carried a gun while being a neighborhood watchman. Zimmerman's injuries and witnesses also confirmed his story.

But just because he told the truth doesn't change the fact that he's a piece of ****.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Exactly.

This "the jury decided this so it was the right call" attitude is ********. Zimmerman is a troublecauser who got away with murder because the victim was a black male, just like the police are allowed to be judge jury and executioner just because the victim is a black male.

It is painfully clear that Zimmerman is a violent thug who will kill somebody else if that person doesn't kill him first. If you have an altercation with Zimmerman you are a fool if you don't shoot first and ask questions later.

If Zimmerman is killed one day soon and I am still alive and Hype is still around, I will be in this thread celebrating. In real life I will also be celebrating. I will not pretend that I have any sympathy what-so-ever because I damn well do not. It will be ding dong the A-hole is dead.

I think it's a bit unfair to attack the jury on this. I can't be angry at the jury when Florida's ****** law allows things like this to happen to begin with. Without a doubt Florida's Stand Your Ground laws need to change to prevent more incidents like this from legally occurring.

I also find it very hard to be angry at the jury when the prosecution against Zimmerman was ridiculously inept. It was OJ prosecution bad. In order for a jury to find someone guilty, there has to be beyond a shadow of a doubt, that said person is guilty. The prosecution failed horribly at removing that uncertainty.

So if George was a child molester and got beat up by a kid and shot him how would the world react? I know when I was his age if a grown man was following me at night it would freak me out. And trespassing? Haha wow, you're grasping at straws and very thin ones at that. I've never lived in a neighborhood were local kids didn't cut through yard unless there was a fence there. That is just about the stupidest excuse I've ever read regarding this case

If a full grown man was following me at night, no, I would not confront him and attack him. I would go to the nearest neighbor and ask them to call the cops. So, in my opinion, we had two very stupid people wandering around that night, and one of them didn't get to live to see the next day, the other one is still inflicting his stupidity on us till this very day.

Oh, and here I thought you'd just push him in front of a bus like you did that other person.

The entire shooting took place practically in my back yard, so I was exposed to the good, the bad and the ugly of the entire case. Trayvon was far from the altar boy the media wanted to portray him as, just as Zimmerman ended up being the POS he's proven himself to be.

Well according to your location you live in Tampa, I live across the bridge in Clearwater beach. In no way would I try and insinuate that anyone's backyard in Tampa is even remotely close to the suburbs of outer Orlando. That's a good 2 hour trip down I-4 so it's not even close. You were not privy to any special information that would give you anything to base an opinion on of Trayvon that any other Floridian got. Nice try though

 

[Evelisse]

oh snap.
truth.

This is when we stop being polite and start getting REAL.

This is when we stop being polite and start getting REAL.

But what happens when keeping it real goes wrong?

It is the thing that finally sets them off to sign up and post?

Wow, I think we just witnessed DJ's finest moment. That was an epic smackdown.

It was due time. He's been spamming weird story threads when he could've been slaying BS'ing Hypesters for a living.

To me the prosecution team failed badly. They didn't want to try this case. They were forced to do it and it showed in their prosecution of the case.
Some really big things evidence wise imo were glossed over. Like the location of Trayvon's phone in relation to where the body ended up. It clearly indicated that the altercation began further down in between the apartments than where the body ended up. Which to me suggests that Zimmerman lied when he said he went no farther than the "T" in the sidewalk and was then "ambushed" by Martin. Then somehow Martin pulled him about 30 ft from the T to where it ended by punching him in the face and jumping on top of him. The phone was dropped way farther south of even the place where the body was. the T was to the north of there.
Also one witness said they saw Zimmerman get up off the body and walk towards the T where the garbage can was and drop something on the ground. That is where Zimmermans keys/flashlight was found. Was he planting them there to support his story of an ambush?

I truly believe Zimmerman cut Trayvon off. That when Trayvon was talking to the girl and said he thought he had lost Zimmerman ,George was actually south of him by going around the front of those apartments and cut through the middle gap. Seeing Trayvon looking back the other way (north) looking for him and hearing him talking on the phone he was able to sneak up behind him from the south It was there he confronted him and tried to detain him for the cops he had called. He probably had his gun drawn too. Only Trayvon wasn't having any of it. He didn't know who this strange man was. So reflexively he punched him and probably tried to wrestle the gun away from him. That's why his phone was where it was and they wrestled around a bit moving north as they did.

Again only my opinion. I just can't see a guy like Zimmerman entering a dark alley without his pistol at the ready. And in his own words he wanted to make sure this one didn't get away like the others.

Even with Zimmerman telling the truth, how can anyone find his behavior morally ethical? I will take Zimmerman's account as the official truth. The injuries he sustained and witness reports suggest that he was telling the truth. And there is no proof that he was lying about that incident. But Zimmerman's account of the story still make him look like a piece of garbage. Lies or truth, either way, he's a scumbag.

Even with Martin possibly acting suspicious, how do you expect a kid to react to some overzealous neighborhood watchman? Zimmerman clearly provoked the fight, Martin may have performed moves that threatened Zimmerman's life, but it's still a fight that Zimmerman started. It's very hard to have sympathy for a man to sustain injuries in a fight that is his fault. That would be like being angry at the bear for killing a guy who was poking it while it was sleeping when the fault clearly lies with the guy who poked the bear.

But being angry at the jury is just wrong in my opinion. They were just doing their jobs. Where the anger should be directed at is at Florida's Stand Your Ground laws which are fundamentally flawed to begin with and the prosecution which just failed at every single level.

One of the articles I saw stated that Zimmerman was in town for Mother's Day. Perhaps he could do all of America a favor and crawl into his mom's basement for the rest of his life. I'm sure the taxpayers and police of Florida are tied of seeing his name every couple of months.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Between Florida Man and Georgia Zimmerman, I am really happy I moved. Though I do miss the beach.

 

[Evelisse]

I've lived in Florida for just about 17 years and have only been to the beach (just minutes away) only twice. Basically cause **** sand.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I lived in Clearwater for 6 months when I was 24 (this was 2006-2007). The beach was nice, but way too crowded. And too many weirdos.

 

[Teelie]

I used to live in Pensacola. That was a while ago but I've been back twice to visit since, and once a few years back was the Orlando area. Does that make me qualified to speak out of my ass about how people there live?
