George Zimmerman sues Warren and Buttigieg for 265 million

[BlindBoo]

George Zimmerman, the onetime neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, is suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg for $265 million, claiming both 2020 Democratic presidential candidates defamed him in an attempt to "garner votes in the black community."

The lawsuit filed in Polk County, Fla., Tuesday argues Warren and Buttigieg’s two separate tweets on Feb. 5, which would have been Martin’s 25th birthday, used the killing “as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”

Buttigieg tweeted to his 1.6 million followers. The message garnered 42,000 likes, 13,300 replies and 6,600 retweets in just three days, the lawsuit states.

“My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free,” Warren tweeted to her 3.6 million followers on the same day, sharing four photos of Trayvon Martin as a small child, between the ages of 4 and 10. The message received 7,300 likes and 1,000 retweets in three days, in addition to national media coverage, the lawsuit states.

George Zimmerman sues Warren, Buttigieg for $265M, accuses them of attempting to garner black votes by defaming him

Any chance at him winning? Who knows. I'm sure he has a lawyer that made this decision, so I'm guessing he can.

There was nothing racial about the shooting of Martin. Zimmerman, a minority himself, lived in a very diverse gated housing complex. If I remember correctly, he attended his school prom with a black girlfriend. But because he was a white-Hispanic and not black himself, the lying MSM tried to make it a racial incident.

Have the Democrats finally crossed the line with using blacks to promote their hate? We'll see. Should be a very interesting election with this in the works.

No, the audio of the 9/11 operator clearly contains Zimmerman using the 'N' word.
Zimmerman was racist, and FL Hispanics are notorious for being ultra racist.

Also Zimmerman was NOT at all a member of Neighborhood Watch.
He went to one meeting, but was rejected because he would not follow the rules.
And the rules would have prevented the situation that he caused by his criminal actions.
Neighborhood Watch never allows any of its member to patrol while armed or alone.
By violating those simple and obvious rules, and a few more, Zimmerman caused the whole scenario to occur.
It was all his fault, even if it did not necessarily prove an intent to commit 2nd degree murder.

We also now know Zimmerman is not a good guy because of all the additional violence he has been convicted of, such as domestic violence.

Zimmerman was part of the neighborhood watch, but that had nothing to do with the shooting. Zimmerman was simply going to the store. After he got in his truck, he spotted Martin. Knowing most of the people there, he knew Martin was not part of that gated community, and given the rise of home break-ins, he suspected that Martin could be one of the people involved in the crimes.

Zimmerman did the right thing. He seen a suspicious character that fit the description of the people breaking into homes, and immediately called the police. That's what you're supposed to do.

Armed wannabe cop was not authorized to pursue what he considered suspects. Being armed embolden him, and that also played a part in the tragedy, by giving that warm gun feeling of superiority. When in fact a high school kid was able to get the better of him. But I understand that. When I was in High School I could have knocked the shit out of him too.

Perhaps, but when you were in school, citizens were defenseless from attackers. We didn't carry guns back then. Today we do. So if you have plans on attacking somebody, that has to be a consideration.

Now if Zimmerman caught up to Martin, perhaps prevented him from escape, then Zimmerman would have been locked up for murder. You can't trap somebody and then use your firearm if they react. Zimmerman chased Martin for a very short time. Martin was long gone when Zimmerman stopped running. Martin waited for Zimmerman in the dark, and attacked him after he got off the phone with the dispatcher.

Just because somebody followed you for 20 seconds does not give you the legal right to attack them later on. It's still felony assault.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

It will be tossed as it likely should be.

These kinds of asinine lawsuits are the reason shit like insurance is so astronomical

250 million??? More money than he could make in multiple lifetimes

Punitive damages are most appropiate in a case like this where the liberal media lied and conspired to send an innocent man to jail backed up by the state and Federal
Government and even Obama got mixed up in it.

A huge settlement would send a strong message that it is high time the double standard that exists regarding interracial crimes be put to an end aka....more and more people are getting tired of blacks always being considered innocent by the media especially when it is of a interracial nature.

I am just not on the lawsuit bandwagon in most circumstances.
So many of the products and services we buy are padded with hidden costs because of frivolous lawsuits.
Suing someone because they hurt your feelings is way over the top unless you can prove that it has caused you unnecessary financial hardships.

You seem not to understand legal concept of punitive damages and what they are designed to do.

Yes...there are a lot of friviolous lawsuits but such are completely irrelevant to this case.

A strong message needs to be sent (especially to the media) that the double standard regarding justice for blacks vs. whites needs to be stopped and that the media must be punished severely for their bias.

Substitute OJ Simpson for Zimmerman in the op. Same exact circumstances except he's suing Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox News and a couple GOP members.
All of us, including the Media knew he was guilt and stated as much despite the not guilty verdict.

Still feel the same?

Can anyone say incoherent?

I can also say I nailed the point and you refused to answer.

Yeah my commie neighborhood watch doesn't allow guns for the nightly patrols . Even an armed commie would feel embolden by the feel of that cold lethal steel at his finger tips. He might even put him self in greater danger than he would otherwise without a gun while chasing down those suspected criminal Capitalist. </sarcasm>

Half Hispanic = White if Left Wing Fucko Lunatics want to use you for political gain.

Half Black = Black if Left Wing Fucko Lunatics want to use you for political gain.

The media didn't even make that distinction. They used the term white-Hispanic. They had to get the "white" part in there, or otherwise it wouldn't be a story. They couldn't get any protests going using Hispanic, they couldn't get any riots going, they couldn't sell enough news papers.

It’s all political opportunism.

Isn’t it interesting that the guy driving a van into a tent full of Trump supporters got no national coverage?

Now, flip the script and say it was a Trump supporter diving a van into a Bernie tent...do you think it makes the national news?

Besides the Zimmerman story being dragged out for as long as it was, the media still hounded him years after it was over. It was a simple local self-defense case that would have never gotten any national media attention if it were two black people or two whites.

The other weekend, Chicago reported 9 dead and 14 injured in shootings. That's just one weekend. One of the wounded victims was a 7 year old girl. No big deal. Nothing to see here. It's the usual black on black crime going on.

No, shootings in Chicago are not just black on black crime, but the War on Drugs.
The offense is by the white majority making drugs illegal without legal justification or concern for the side effects.
Just like with Prohibition, making something illegal without any justification, just raises the price, tempts average people, and then caused an incentive for crime. The profits not only are increased, but they can't use banks or call police.
The blacks are not the ones at fault for urban violence and crime.
It is those who legislated and enforce the War on Drugs.

 

[Pogo]

The fact is Martin deserved killing, a jury said so. So there was no stolen 25th birthday stolen in his case.

.

If somebody robs a beverage store an is shot by the owner, nobody can say the robber's life was stolen. He took it upon himself to surrender his life for personal desire or gain.

Fair point. But if you're planting your flag on this Zimmerman person being the subject in the tweets in question,.that poses its own question -- was the kid on the end of the bullet robbing a beverage store? Or robbing anything? I don't know the details of the event.

Martin had Zimmerman on his back pounding his head in the pavement. Martin was the aggressor and got his self killed, Zimmerman was to have acted in self defense. Martin and Zimmerman are inextricably linked to that day. Google either one and the other will appear in the story. That's why Zimmerman might have a case.

Whatever the details of that may be, nobody was named in either of the tweets in question, which is the first and biggest most obvious reason he has no case.

My post above was to ask Ray if his analogy of the store burglar applies to the shooting event. From what I'm reading it would appear it does not.

No it was assault and battery with bodily injury. Zimmerman defended himself. It's just that simple.

Once again --- the question was put to Ray, who brought up the analogy.

Trayvon did run home and after talking to his g/f decided to go back .....why? Perhaps to impress her?

George Zimmerman, the onetime neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, is suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg for $265 million, claiming both 2020 Democratic presidential candidates defamed him in an attempt to "garner votes in the black community."

The lawsuit filed in Polk County, Fla., Tuesday argues Warren and Buttigieg’s two separate tweets on Feb. 5, which would have been Martin’s 25th birthday, used the killing “as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”

Buttigieg tweeted to his 1.6 million followers. The message garnered 42,000 likes, 13,300 replies and 6,600 retweets in just three days, the lawsuit states.

“My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free,” Warren tweeted to her 3.6 million followers on the same day, sharing four photos of Trayvon Martin as a small child, between the ages of 4 and 10. The message received 7,300 likes and 1,000 retweets in three days, in addition to national media coverage, the lawsuit states.

George Zimmerman sues Warren, Buttigieg for $265M, accuses them of attempting to garner black votes by defaming him

Any chance at him winning? Who knows. I'm sure he has a lawyer that made this decision, so I'm guessing he can.

There was nothing racial about the shooting of Martin. Zimmerman, a minority himself, lived in a very diverse gated housing complex. If I remember correctly, he attended his school prom with a black girlfriend. But because he was a white-Hispanic and not black himself, the lying MSM tried to make it a racial incident.

Have the Democrats finally crossed the line with using blacks to promote their hate? We'll see. Should be a very interesting election with this in the works.

No, the audio of the 9/11 operator clearly contains Zimmerman using the 'N' word.
Zimmerman was racist, and FL Hispanics are notorious for being ultra racist.

Also Zimmerman was NOT at all a member of Neighborhood Watch.
He went to one meeting, but was rejected because he would not follow the rules.
And the rules would have prevented the situation that he caused by his criminal actions.
Neighborhood Watch never allows any of its member to patrol while armed or alone.
By violating those simple and obvious rules, and a few more, Zimmerman caused the whole scenario to occur.
It was all his fault, even if it did not necessarily prove an intent to commit 2nd degree murder.

We also now know Zimmerman is not a good guy because of all the additional violence he has been convicted of, such as domestic violence.

Zimmerman was part of the neighborhood watch, but that had nothing to do with the shooting. Zimmerman was simply going to the store. After he got in his truck, he spotted Martin. Knowing most of the people there, he knew Martin was not part of that gated community, and given the rise of home break-ins, he suspected that Martin could be one of the people involved in the crimes.

Zimmerman did the right thing. He seen a suspicious character that fit the description of the people breaking into homes, and immediately called the police. That's what you're supposed to do.

Armed wannabe cop was not authorized to pursue what he considered suspects. Being armed embolden him, and that also played a part in the tragedy, by giving that warm gun feeling of superiority. When in fact a high school kid was able to get the better of him. But I understand that. When I was in High School I could have knocked the shit out of him too.

Perhaps, but when you were in school, citizens were defenseless from attackers. We didn't carry guns back then. Today we do. So if you have plans on attacking somebody, that has to be a consideration.

Now if Zimmerman caught up to Martin, perhaps prevented him from escape, then Zimmerman would have been locked up for murder. You can't trap somebody and then use your firearm if they react. Zimmerman chased Martin for a very short time. Martin was long gone when Zimmerman stopped running. Martin waited for Zimmerman in the dark, and attacked him after he got off the phone with the dispatcher.

Just because somebody followed you for 20 seconds does not give you the legal right to attack them later on. It's still felony assault.

Neither person acted wisely. Martin should have called the police on Zimmerman. But he was just a kid, and hindsight is 20/20. I just don't think he would have chased the kid if he didn't have a gun.

I am hoping however Nick Sampson's case goes to trial and he wins at least a partial victory for the way those left wing asshole slobs treated him.

NIcholas Sandmann? He sued CNN for $250 million and they settled with him. The amount he received hasn't been divulged. He also had a lawsuit against the Washington Post but some liberal hack judge dropped the case at WAPO's request.

FYI, the same judge reopened the case.

https://nypost.com/2019/10/28/judge...dmanns-250m-suit-against-the-washington-post/

Nicholas Sandmann deserves nothing and should be charged instead.
That is because he was legally supposed to be in school at the time, and not bussed to a fake demonstration against Planned Parenthood. He himself said and did very little, but it is clear he was attempting to obstruct, as well as he was party to the group that was hurling racial hate speech.

.

Yeah my commie neighborhood watch doesn't allow guns for the nightly patrols . Even an armed commie would feel embolden by the feel of that cold lethal steel at his finger tips. He might even put him self in greater danger than he would otherwise without a gun while chasing down those suspected criminal Capitalist. </sarcasm>

No, anyone looking at a map can see that the confrontation happened blocks from Zimmerman's truck, so Zimmerman took a short cut, got in front of Martin, and cut him off. Martin did not go back or do anything at all to increase the confrontation. It was entirely Zimmerman who was at fault.

Martin never made it home, but that is where he was always headed.

 

[Pogo]

Who else could they have been talking about? They were celebrating what would be Martin's birthday today, and they basically said that the person that killed him was a racist white-Hispanic supremacist. There was only one person that killed Martin.

You cannot build a defamation case on assumptions. The law requires that the defamer published or uttered some purported factual statement about the aggrieved, that they knew to be false, with the express purpose of defaming him/her. None of that is met here.

One tweet reads, "How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?" That's not even a statement at all; it's a rhetorical question. And it mentions no names.

The other tweet reads, "“My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free,”

Again, no names other than the deceased. What case can a plaintiff possibly make there? That we should NOT end gun violence and racism and we should NOT build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free?

Rotsa ruck wit dat one. And even if they did make that case, it wasn't directed at anyone.

The fact is Martin deserved killing, a jury said so. So there was no stolen 25th birthday stolen in his case.

.

If somebody robs a beverage store an is shot by the owner, nobody can say the robber's life was stolen. He took it upon himself to surrender his life for personal desire or gain.

Fair point. But if you're planting your flag on this Zimmerman person being the subject in the tweets in question,.that poses its own question -- was the kid on the end of the bullet robbing a beverage store? Or robbing anything? I don't know the details of the event.

Our laws are pretty similar to those in Florida. I'm pushing 60 years old right now, and I have a lot of medical problems. If two younger built guys point to me and say "LETS GET HIM" it's irrelevant if they have a weapon or not. No law states they have to. I (as a CCW holder in my state) reserve the right to use deadly force against them. This is exactly what Zimmerman did. He was attacked, he was virtually defenseless, and used deadly force to stop the attack not knowing how far Martin would go.

This incident is 8 years old now. There is no reason for either of these politicians to use Zimmerman to promote their racial and firearm hatred. Zimmerman had to stay in low cover from all the death threats he received after the verdict. It's irresponsible and immoral to possibly resurrect those emotions in some people that could put Zimmerman in jeopardy of harm or death. So just to shut these worthless F's up, I hope this lawsuit is permitted, and no matter what the award, be enough to stop these crooked politicians from taking advantage of others misfortune for their own selfish advantage.

That's all well and good and I'm really not interested in derailing this thread to a rehash of whatever happened eight years ago. What I asked above was whether the kid was robbing aastore per your analogy.

Back on the topic, there's still no connection between either tweet and anybody named "Zimmerman". If we said "today is the anniversary of Marcus Kaarma getting 70 years in prison" and then follow it with "we have to stop gun violence", we're not saying "Marcus Karma is responsible for all gun violence". That's a leap without a bridge.

And if you actually want lawsuits to "stop crooked politicians from taking advantage of others misfortune for their own selfish advantage", that could get very interesting starting with Rump and his "he's not a hero" dropping plus countless others.

He did not realize Zimmerman would take a diagonal, get in front of him, cut him off, and force a confrontation.

Except that Martin did nothing wrong, either ethically or legally.
He was not committing a crime like robbing a store.
He was just trying to walk home.
It was Zimmerman who deliberately caused fear and violence.
Whether Zimmerman had good or bad intentions, we will never know.
But we do know what he did was illegal, in that you can not deliberately chase and cut off a kid at night, scaring him like that.
Martin had a right to privacy at the very least, that Zimmerman violated, and was guilty of disturbing the peace for a start.
For example, if Zimmerman chasing Martin had caused Martin to run across a street and gotten hit by a car and killed, then Zimmerman would still have been guilty of murder.
No matter the outcome or details, it was Zimmerman who caused it all to happen due to his own illegal actions, so he bear all the guilt for all the result.

What a crock....but to always be expected from liberals and negroes regarding this case.

Trayvon was loitering, lingering, and peeping into windows in a neighborhood plagued with burglaries and home invasions....on a dark and rainy night where he most likely thought no one would notice him.

Whilst it cannot be proven he was casing homes for a burglary....with his history it is very possible and definitely Z was right to report him as a suspicious person.

Your idiotic narrative comes from your biased imagination and definitely not the evidence that was laid out in court...

Evidence so compelling that even liberals on the jury voted to find Z not guilty. Evidence so compelling that the notorious liberal jimmuh ah yes I say jimmy carter said the jury got it right.

If you had not been too lazy to watch the trial or even look at the evidence in the case you might realize how stupid you sound and how ridiculous your vain attempt to try and make trayvon appear innocent is so outrageous.

Are you British?

George Zimmerman, the onetime neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, is suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg for $265 million, claiming both 2020 Democratic presidential candidates defamed him in an attempt to "garner votes in the black community."

The lawsuit filed in Polk County, Fla., Tuesday argues Warren and Buttigieg’s two separate tweets on Feb. 5, which would have been Martin’s 25th birthday, used the killing “as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”

Buttigieg tweeted to his 1.6 million followers. The message garnered 42,000 likes, 13,300 replies and 6,600 retweets in just three days, the lawsuit states.

“My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free,” Warren tweeted to her 3.6 million followers on the same day, sharing four photos of Trayvon Martin as a small child, between the ages of 4 and 10. The message received 7,300 likes and 1,000 retweets in three days, in addition to national media coverage, the lawsuit states.

George Zimmerman sues Warren, Buttigieg for $265M, accuses them of attempting to garner black votes by defaming him

Any chance at him winning? Who knows. I'm sure he has a lawyer that made this decision, so I'm guessing he can.

There was nothing racial about the shooting of Martin. Zimmerman, a minority himself, lived in a very diverse gated housing complex. If I remember correctly, he attended his school prom with a black girlfriend. But because he was a white-Hispanic and not black himself, the lying MSM tried to make it a racial incident.

Have the Democrats finally crossed the line with using blacks to promote their hate? We'll see. Should be a very interesting election with this in the works.

I am hoping however Nick Sampson's case goes to trial and he wins at least a partial victory for the way those left wing asshole slobs treated him.

NIcholas Sandmann? He sued CNN for $250 million and they settled with him. The amount he received hasn't been divulged. He also had a lawsuit against the Washington Post but some liberal hack judge dropped the case at WAPO's request.

FYI, the same judge reopened the case.

Nicholas Sandmann deserves nothing and should be charged instead.
That is because he was legally supposed to be in school at the time, and not bussed to a fake demonstration against Planned Parenthood. He himself said and did very little, but it is clear he was attempting to obstruct, as well as he was party to the group that was hurling racial hate speech.

Sandmann had nothing to do with the Black Israelites.

Of course Sandmann was there to counter both the Indigenous Peoples' March and the Black Israelites, as well as Planned Parenthood.
It was Phillips who was caught between them.

The incident, which The New York Times described as an "explosive political moment", took place in the late afternoon of January 18, 2019, on the Plaza of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. at the conclusion of a day of rallies for two groups, Indigenous Peoples March, and the March for Life.[9] The marches had represented entirely separate purposes: raising awareness of indigenous peoples issues[13] and raising awareness of pro-life/abortion issues respectively. For about ten minutes,[14] there was an overlap on the Plaza of a small group from the Indigenous Peoples March and a larger group of students from the all-male Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, who were gathering at their appointed meeting place at the steps of the Plaza to wait for their buses to return home. Before the students arrived, a group of five Black Hebrew Israelites stood in a row "shouting scripture from red books" and taunting passers-by.[9][13][15][Notes 1][16] As the 15- and 16-year-old students began to arrive, the Hebrew Israelites began to taunt them directly,[10][17][18][10][19][20][21][22][23] and shouted racially combative insults and slurs at them.[10][19][20] As more Covington students arrived, and in response to these taunts, the students performed school spirit sports chants, including their version of a Māori haka.[17][24][Notes 2] One of the Native Americans who was there for the March said that he felt "the students were mocking the dance."[25]
