GOP Hero and Legend George Zimmerman ‘Bragged’ About Trayvon Killing, Then Got Face Punched

Status
Not open for further replies.
I serve with the Sheriff Auxiliary Volunteers, and one of my jobs is to guide HOA's in their establishment of Neighborhood Watch districts. If they follow our guidelines, we give them the Neighborhood Watch signs to set up in their neighborhood. One of our guidelines is that they can not patrol with a weapon. They are to avoid confrontation at all costs. If we find out that they go out with a gun, we remove them from Neighborhood Watch, and retrieve the sign. George went out looking for trouble and he found it. Now, he keeps trying to parlay that into a career; even to the point of passing out business cards.

The fact that George went out armed is the reason that somebody got killed, and the HOA got sued, and settled out of court. If he had been convicted, he would not have lived for a year in the slammer.

Court says otherwise. Seems Trayvon went out looking for trouble, found it, and got what he deserved.

He wasn't convicted and that causes butthurt for people like you. Maybe if you rub some vaseline on it or get another Liberal to kiss it for you, it won't hurt so much.
 
Zimmerman was an idiot wannabe cop. His gun probably gave him the confidence to go into a situation he shouldn't have.

Of course being ARMED WITH A GUN gave him confidence to be able to defend himself, what the fuck do you think the purpose of CARRYING A GOD DAMNED GUN IS, Einstein?

Do you think that fat people have no right to effectively defend themselves? What kind of stupid loser are you?
Having a CWP is not a license to play cop. You quoted only part of my post, leaving out the part which I said Zimmerman still had the right to self defense, so don't be an asshole by calling me a looser.
Also, the only reason I brought up that he is fat is because I compared him to B. Fife who was skinny.

George was a responsible member of that neighborhood....who was on his way to Target when he saw a suspicious person...George then called 911 to report it...call that playing cop if you wish but if you lived in that neighborhood and your home had been burglarized as many were...you might refer to what he did as something other than playing cop.
Calling 911 -- no problem! Following Travon around in his car and then getting out to try to follow him on foot, that's playing cop. GZ was lucky he was not following a thug packing heat.
 
Witnesses Corroborate: George Zimmerman ‘Bragged’ About Trayvon Killing, Then Got Punched (UPDATED)

Witnesses inside Gators Riverside restaurant confirm that Zimmerman “was bragging” about the 2012 shooting. he allegedly said to someone, “I love your tattoos. My name is George Zimmerman, you know, that guy who killed Trayvon Martin?” He allegedly showed an identification card of some kind as well.

At that point the second man asked, “You’re bragging about that?” then punched Zimmerman in the face.

The identity of the attacker accused of punching Zimmerman has not yet been released.

A reminder that George Zimmerman is a cancer to society

George Zimmerman says auction for Trayvon Martin gun is over

Zimmerman's first two attempts to sell the gun in the past week failed, and drew swarms of bids from trolls using names like "Racist McShootface." The fake bidders at one point drove the price past $66 million.


------------------

The gun eventually sold for $250,000.00

Wow, running down and shooting to death an unarmed kid two weeks past 17. The dream of so many of those in the GOP. But I still think they hate gays more than blacks.

So basically every single thing people say about GZ has been proven a lie, now we are supposed to believe that he was bragging about taking that thug out?

I'm sure that they are lying and out of pure ignorance, racism, hatred, and senseless violence, they wanted to hit him. I don't believe a word of it.

I think you are correct....no evidence whatsoever that George was bragging about it...something he has never done. Though, I think he has every right to do so if he so desires.

The media takes every opportunity it can seize to further demonize George...and do not expect the police to pursue the person who assaulted George in the Restaurant.

No doubt in my mind it was an excuse for them to be hateful, stupid, and violent.
You mean George as hateful and stupid and violent.
 
We do not know who started the fight.
Who started the fight is irrelevant once Zimmerman was on his back pleading for his life. After that point Martin was legally obligated to let him up, but instead he kept going according to other witnesses.
Not necessarily.

If you are armed and start a fight you are responsible for putting your own life in danger therefore it's pretty tough to claim self defense.

CCW permit holders are held to a higher standard as they should be. GZ was obligated to try to avoid any situation that would require him shooting someone

Nonsense...your claim that gun permit owners are held by a different law than others is quite ridiculous...but such ignorance of the law as you demonstrate is quite common amongst the libtards...up to and including their demonstrated belief that no white person is entitled to self defense when attacked by a Negro.

Hey moron, you DO remember that GZ was not on duty as a neighborhood watch person at the time right? You also realize that you aren't running that NW program and have no earthly idea of what their rules are right?

George was stupid, and if Trayvon had gotten the gun would have been dead, and Trayvon would have walked.

George will die violently. It is inevitable.

Any citizen has the legal right to follow a suspicious person and call the police. The police will advise you to do so at a safe distance.

You need to study up...especially on the legal right of self defense and reporting suspicious behavior.

You know those blacks who snapped and shot good cops recently? Why do they go after good cops when they have better target like Zimmerman?

Shooting random innocent cops sends the wrong message. A much different message if some random crazy black took out a Zimmerman. Who would give a fuck?

Notice conservatives don't think trevons life matters? So why should George's?


The guy defended himself from a teenage thug.............and you want more black thugs to kill him.....that is the problem with democrats....
The only way to deal with bad guys with guns is more good guys with guns.


So killing a man who shot a thug to keep from getting killed is the bad guy....

this is what I mean when I say that something in the brain of a democrat did not develop properly.........like Dyslexia....the victim can function in all ways normally, but one thing is impossible for them.....

For left wingers/democrats...the part of their brain that should be capable of understanding facts, the truth and reality, and the part that deals with understanding Right and Wrong, and Good and Evil, is broken........so they make stupid comments like your post...........they have reality dyslexia.....
Sorry pal. I don't like what George did or how he's acted since you got him off. I know he didn't use stand your ground but did use it? Shady.

I've seen enough blacks shot this year alone to know I don't agree with your Alec legislation or open season on blacks. I won't even bother explaining all the ways you are wrong.

It's like feeling sorry for oj that they set him up and threw the book at him.

I don't condoln killing anyone. I don't want to live in that kind of society. I'm just saying if I were an angry black id pick better targets

The above is a prime example of the ignorant libtards who comment on this case...utter stupidity. Not even to mention more whitefolk are killed by the police than Negroes. Yet it is this sort of stupidity that inflames the ignorant Negroes into rioting and murdering police.

Yes Zimmerman had the legal right. Being legal does not negate stupid. And obviously he did not keep a safe enough distance. Playing cop can be dangerous!

No matter what the police say about that any citizen has a legal right to follow a suspicious person and report it to the police.

If you had watched the trial you would have noted that in this case the head of the homeowners association had advised the residents to report suspicious persons in that area to the police due to all of the burglaries occuring there and the police further advised the residents if they followed a suspicious person to do so from a safe distance for their own safety.

Thus once again we see a libtard making fallacious statements....to be expected...continue on making yourselves into ignoramouses it is quite fun to witness.

George was a neighborhood watchman and was not even on duty when the event ocurred...he was on his way to Target when he spotted the suspicious person and reported him to the police.

George lived in that neighborhood also...he was not only looking out for his neighbors but for his own household as well. Many times George had spotted suspicious individuals and reported them to the police...never had a problem and in fact he had been praised by the homeowners association for his service.

In hindsight...on this particular dark and rainy night George should have not gotten out of his truck...but trayvon had run off and George was merely trying to be helpful to the dispatcher who wanted to know which way Trayvon had run off to.

Of course being a cop or a neighborhood watchman can be dangerous....George should have received a medal from the community for his bravery and helping to fight crime...not even to mention how later he rescued a family from a burning car...and even for that the media attempted to deprecate his heroism.

Be careful, when dough boy gets his ass kicked he likes to murder the person in cold blood.

Thanks for admitting the truth that Zimmerman was assaulted by Martin and rid the world of another thug.
Of course, we may have different opinion, but to me, a guy who jumped out of his truck, chased an unarmed teen down, cornered him and then shot him point blank in the chest is the thug. Especially after the police told the guy to leave the kid alone. If that's not a thug, then what is?

Nope. Even the police dispatcher told him "We don't need you to do that", when George said that he was following him.

As said, before. Anyone has the legal right to act like a fool, but they don't get advice from the police to do so.

Travon already knew that GZ was following him in his car. Following at a safe distance entails that the suspect does no know that he is being followed. Travon knew he was being followed.

Of course trayvon knew that...following at a safe distance is a recommendation put out by the police for the safety of the person reporting a suspicious person. Not something that is a law at all...merely a suggestion for safetys sake.

George was in his truck on the phone to the 911 dispatcher when trayvon spotted him and then proceeded to circle georges truck to scope him out....george did not get out of his truck at this point, did not even roll down his windows....said nothing at all to trayvon...george just kept calmly talking to the dispatcher reporting all of trayvons actions.

Again you are wrong...you can follow at a safe distance and still be spotted by the suspect. The distance is merely a safety tactic...as in the distance gives you some time to retreat if the suspect becomes agressive and comes after you.

George was a neighborhood watchman and was not even on duty when the event ocurred...he was on his way to Target when he spotted the suspicious person and reported him to the police.

George lived in that neighborhood also...he was not only looking out for his neighbors but for his own household as well. Many times George had spotted suspicious individuals and reported them to the police...never had a problem and in fact he had been praised by the homeowners association for his service.

In hindsight...on this particular dark and rainy night George should have not gotten out of his truck...but trayvon had run off and George was merely trying to be helpful to the dispatcher who wanted to know which way Trayvon had run off to.

Of course being a cop or a neighborhood watchman can be dangerous....George should have received a medal from the community for his bravery and helping to fight crime...not even to mention how later he rescued a family from a burning car...and even for that the media attempted to deprecate his heroism.
A 17 year old black walking down the street is always suspicious. Everyone knows that.

So do hookers.
