George Zimmerman Shot and Wounded in Road Rage Incident

[Anonymous]

It's amazing that conservatives are still defending this guy. I mean, really? If there were ever a false martyr, it's this guy. He's a fucking lunatic.

Nobody cares less about black thugs killing other black thugs than the black community.

Followed only by the news media, which does not regard black-on-black or black-on-white violence as "newsworthy" because they do not Support The Narrative.

The black community is complex and diverse. What small sample of apathetic assholes are you glancing at from a far and assuming their attitudes reflect that of all black people?

+1. It is funny that some Whites who rely on the media for info are quick to assume that Blacks are not doing anything in our own communites. On DCUM, I have offered many times to take some of these people with me to some of the events and things I do in the community if they are sincerely interested. Only one taker. And folks do not seem to graps that there a lot of things being done in the community and that violence and teen pregnancies are down in a lot of these communities. So this leads me to believe that the Black on Black issue is a deflective talking point to many. They do not really care about what goes on in these communites, they only want to attempt to win an argument.

Conservatives like myself (as you put it) are not defending Zimmerman as a person. The forensics are the forensics, and while Zimmerman chose to follow Martin (something I don't condone), it was Martin who jumped Zimmerman and started beating his head into a curb. At that point, Zimmerman used his weapon. That is when it became self-defense, and not murder.

Those are simply the facts of the case.

My feeling is if Zimmerman is the person 'liberals' say he is, then he will land HIMSELF back in jail. OJ certainly did.

Agreed. I've attended vigils for murder victims. The people speaking have always condemned the violence and called on individuals in the community to behave better. But I'm guessing the pp wasn't at those vigils.

Notice how hard he's been trying to land himself in jail? He's just been lucky that the women in his life haven't wanted to press charges.

I don't know what happened between Martin and Zimmerman and in the end who was the most aggressive at the point at which Zimmerman shot Martin. But we have plenty of evidence that Zimmerman doesn't know how to keep from escalating a fight to the point where it becomes violent. I haven't read the details about his relationship with the guy who shot him (or *at* him as the case may be) but it would not surprise me at all if Zimmerman hadn't escalated the conflict to the point where a nutter thinks it's okay to shoot at him.

Grown ups know how to defuse a potentially violent situation. George Zimmerman is not a grown up and has failed to learn from his mistakes. I have no sympathy for him.

Unfortunately it WAS ok for Zimmerman to shoot Martin under the circumstances. self defense. Nothing you said changes that

Just like it was okay for OJ to slice up Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman right?

It is not "defending the guy" to say the liberal thirst for his blood - abundantly demonstrated in this thread - is appalling.

Since that wasn't self-defense, nope.

+1000. The clear facts of the case do not need defending; they speak for themselves. Legally, he was within his legal rights to defend himself from being killed. So just let that go already.

I'm not defending Zimmeramns actions before that, or since then; the guy seems (again - it's just my impression from the distorted media) seems to be a magnet for trouble. I also agree that he should not have followed Martin that night. But he did, and that was not a crime. Bad judgement perhaps, but not a crime.

However, bashing someone's head into the concrete while on top of them IS a crime - it's called attempted murder. You cannot minimize that by calling it "getting his ass kicked" as a PP put it. If someone attempts to mirder you, it is permissible to use deadly force to defend yourself. The facts back Zimmermans account of what happened. Case closed on that.

Stalking is also a crime. Zimmerman's stalker also seems to have attempted to murder Zimmerman. He appears to be the victim of stalking here. Why are the progressives on this board so desperate to blame the victim in this case?

Why was the stalker the one to call 911 then?

Dunno. The stalker appears to have a weird habit of not only calling 911 on himself every time he encounters Zimmerman while stalking, he also goes into the nearest business to use their phone to call 911 on himself.

It is almost as if the stalker is mentally disturbed.

+10000

Certain types are all about the false martyr, it is how they survive.

Let me ask you a sincere question, do you think that someone who intentionally attempts to garner media and public attention for himself should have expectations for being treated as a private citizen?

Simply because he is polarizing figure that creates views and clicks for whatever news source it is. When his name is mentioned they know that folks will react. Controversy sells! Simple as that.

BINGO.

He brings it upon himself, then tries to act like the victim. We all know one of these losers. He is fooling no one.

-except in this case, he appears to have been stalled by an unbalanced, armed individual.

You talking about George or Trayvon?

No, those are not the facts. Was there a fight, yes? How do you know that George did not grab at Trayvon first and Trayvon defended himself, there is an altercation, Trayvon was on top and George decided to shoot instead of punch. Punk!
