Too bad.
Maybe next he'll think twice before he shoots someone.

Other notable moments in Zimmermans interview, seven months after the trial:
- He says he never realized that Martin was unarmed, but that Martin was clearly trying to grab the gun from him.
- He initially thought that his bullet had missed Martin and potentially struck a neighbors house.
- He expresses no regrets about the shooting.
- He has a debt of $2.5 million owed to his lawyers, Mark OMara and Don West. He has raised more than $300,000 from online donors and said he hopes to collect additional funds through a lawsuit hes filed against NBC News over an edited 911 call, which he alleges made him look racist because a question and answer were mixed.
- He says he hasn't collected welfare and will work as a cook if he has to. Hes living off his family for now.
- He blames sensationalized media coverage for making him notorious, saying people recognize him everywhere because of what the press did with the incident in 2012, in February.
George Zimmerman says he's homeless and suffers from PTSD - latimes.com
He's living off his family right now. Why? If he can be a cook, go be a cook. What's he waiting for?
And what's the hold up on the NBC/MSNBC court case.
Again the most important witness was dead which is why it was framed as "followed" rather than "pursued."
If conservatives truly believe that GZ was innocent because he was in fear of his life then they're hypocritical if they say they would've thought Martin was guilty if he'd killed Zimmerman.
Nonsense.
George was allowed to "follow" Trayvon. Indeed, Trayvon was "allowed" to walk up to Zimmerman and argue in his face about why Zimmerman was acting as he was.
What Trayvon was NOT lawfully allowed to do was pummel Zimmerman and pound Zimmerman's skull into the concrete. Sadly, that is what the evidence clearly shows Trayvon DID.
Under those circumstances, it is OF COURSE true that Zimmerman was legally JUSTIFIED in using physical force (even deadly force) to prevent the threat of grievous bodily injury or death to himself.
Since Zimmerman did not visit any physical violence upon Trayvon (until he fought back in self defense with the gun shot), Trayvon would NOT have been justified in making a confrontation with Zimmerman a physical one. There could be no possibility of "self defense" or "justification" being "necessary" where Trayvon was not even being physically attacked or threatened with an imminent physical attack.
The result is beyond valid debate: Zimmerman deserved his acquittal and there is zero "hypocrisy" in noting the obvious differences.
If Trayvon had taken the gun he'd be the only witness. "He pulled a gun on me your honor and I did all I could to take it to protect myself."
What in the world is so hard to follow about that? Martin would've gotten off on the SAME reasoning that GZ did.
Correct.
Had Zimmerman only done as instructed by the police, remaining at his car or returning home, hed be living a quite, private existence today.
And again, this is not hindsight being 20/20, as Zimmerman made the decision to disregard the authorities and place himself in a dangerous situation consequently he has only himself to blame, and must indeed take personal responsibility, something he clearly refuses to do.
No one told him to stay in the car. In fact, the guy on the phone asked him "what's he doing now?" which is what prompted George to get out of the car and go see.
Yes the dispatcher did tell Z to stay in his car.
911 Dispatcher: "Are you following him?"
Zimmerman: "Yeah"
911 Dispatcher: "Ok, we don't need you to do that.
Zimmerman: "Ok."
If Trayvon had taken the gun he'd be the only witness. "He pulled a gun on me your honor and I did all I could to take it to protect myself."
What in the world is so hard to follow about that? Martin would've gotten off on the SAME reasoning that GZ did.
Except that he was seen beating the crap out of Zimmerman while Zimmerman screamed for help like a little girl. Even Trayvon's dad, the first time he heard the 911 call said those scream weren't coming from his son.
Not quite ... This is part of what was suppressed.

13. Three witnesses say they heard a boy cry for help before a shot was fired. “Three witnesses contacted by The Miami Herald say they saw or heard the moments before and after the Miami Gardens teenager’s killing. All three said they heard the last howl for help from a despondent boy.” [Miami Herald]
Be that as it may, gz was carrying a gun for only one reason - to be ready to shoot someone. He was told he was not 'needed to chase Travon' and he testifed that Travon tried to get away from him.
gz got away with murder.
Now he has no choice but to be another little rw media whore, a lot like $arah Palin but not nearly as successful.
How can people NOT feel sorry for a guy who gives an interview to the media about how miserable he is because the media won't leave him alone?
Yep.
He's a professional victim now. He said he wants to be a lawyer (LOL) but his own actions have made that impossible. (Is he so stupid that he does not know that?)
Instead, he just keeps doing things that are designed to get his name in the news again.

Self induced PTSD?
I wouldn't call it PTSD, I'd call it going crazy. And...............if either one is the case, Zimmerman shouldn't be allowed to have a gun.
I have mixed feelings on that. I really don't think anyone with PTSD should have a gun, but then again, I have a problem with taking guns away from our returning vets, many of whom have PTSD.
@Againshelia
I treated patients with PTSD for 25 years. Not a single one of them ever killed anyone. PTSD is not a psychosis. It is a neurosis.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects people who have witnessed, or been exposed to, traumatizing experiences. This neurotic disorder is commonly seen in soldiers who return from war situations. PTSD patients often relive the trauma through flashbacks and dreams, which can lead to insomnia, paranoia, and social withdrawal.
What Are Neurotic Disorders? (with pictures)
Getting your head bashed into the concrete certainly IS enough to give you PTSD. So is being tried for murder.
If having any psych diagnosis or being on any psych med means that you are dangerous, then there are a lot of anxious housewives and sleep disorder patients who are dangerous. Take their guns, their children, and their money! Quick!
CaféAuLait;8636682 said:In the same interview he says he lives in fear of his life, probably why he does not have a job. Lawsuits seem to take sometime and given MSNBC inferred before the trial ended that "if Zimmerman was found guilty" he would have no case against them, its probably given Zimmerman more fuel. An article I found dated December 2013 says the lawsuit is still 'ongoing'.
Lawsuits take forever, I think he lives in his own prison.
Why the attorneys would represent him and expect a $2.5 million payday, is pretty stupid on the attorney's part. But whoever said attorney's were smart.
They'll get their money, when the lawsuit with NBC/MSNBC is settled. You don't really think they would have defended Zimmerman if they weren't confident of getting paid, do you?
If Trayvon had taken the gun he'd be the only witness. "He pulled a gun on me your honor and I did all I could to take it to protect myself."

All of us that have never sinned should drive down to his place and stone him.
George Zimmerman is no more homeless than I am. No, I don't own a home. I rent my sister's lower level.
He's not living on the streets, or out of his vehicle. He is just not a homeowner at this point in time.
If he has no money to afford rent or a home, than he is considered homeless even if his family takes him in. Many people who do not own houses are not homeless, they just rent. The guys in our local shelter, they're homeless. My friend who has no money for rent and is living with her mom is technical homeless because her mother could kick her out at any moment.
No. He is not.
home·less
ˈhōmlis/Submit
adjective

(of a person) without a home, and therefore typically living on the streets.
"the plight of young homeless people"
synonyms: of no fixed address, without a roof over one's head, on the streets, vagrant, displaced, dispossessed, destitute, down-and-out
"homeless people"
people of no fixed address, vagrants, down-and-outs, street people, tramps, vagabonds, itinerants, transients, migrants, derelicts, drifters, hoboes;

If you had taken a life, would you have no regrets.

No no no. YOU liberoid idiots don't grasp the actual meaning of words.
It is simply NOT the case that a comment "you don't have to" is a directive NOT to do something.
For example, if I offer a nice old lady my seat on a subway train and she, being polite, tells me "Oh, you don't have to do that." She's right. I don't HAVE to. But I am free to do so anyway. Her comment is NOT a directive.
A cop telling Zimmerman that he doesn't HAVE to do something is simply NOT a directive to cease and desist. In fact, the cop on the phone had no authority to direct Zimmerman NOT to do what the law permitted Zimmerman to do.
No matter how many times you spin and peddle your obvious plodding hack lie, it remains just your lie.
If you had taken a life, would you have no regrets.
again, not expressing regrets is not the same as not having regrets.
Again, then one would keep one's mouth shut.
Or is he a liar as well.
