George Zimmerman Says He Lives in Constant Fear, Has PTSD

[blankslate]

http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/roderickscott.asp"Is it true that Roderick Scott, a black man, shot and killed a white teenager, Christopher Corvine, who along with other teens was breaking into cars and was acquitted?

Curious, how do you believe those cases are similar?

They're not similar, he's just mad that people weren't outraged over this shooting when there were three teenagers against the shooter whereas there only one person against the shooter in the Florida case.

Also Mr. Scott told the 3 that he had a gun. I doubt Mr. Zimmerman actually told the the person he shot that he had a gun.

Those three were also testing the locks of cars they passed by. Whereas so far as we know Mr. Zimmerman never said he saw Trayvon Martin walking up to houses and trying doorknobs.

Using those two shootings with very different circumstances as some sort of proof of bias is insane and/or stupid.


Now in a hypothetical situation where the circumstances are the same as the Martin/Zimmerman case, but it's a black armed neighborhood watch man who gets out of a car to follow a white/hispanic teen walking down a sidewalk after being told that the police were on their way and somehow a fight breaks out then I would want to see the shooter put in jail as well.

Here's a clue. It's the circumstances that were outrageous.

Circumstances in the Trayvon case happen everyday, the only thing noteworthy with this case is that Al Sharpton and the media jumped on it like it was the SuperBowl or a Presidential election. If Tray was a white boy you would not have heard of this case, nor gave 2 shits about this case. Hell, if tray was killed by a black and not by a Latino you would not have heard of this case either, blacks kill each other damn often and yet not a peep is to be heard..

Well if the circumstances happen everyday, it's curious why you linked a case that was so dissimilar.

In the case you linked, the kids were attempting to commit a crime, the gun owner told them he was armed, and he was subsequently arrested. Nothing similar to the TM incident.

You are right. Simply put, if tray was a white boy we wouldn't have heard about this as his killer would have been arrested just like the case you linked.

I just assumed he didn't read the case he linked and by asking the question he would realize he erred in comparing the two.

Fairly good evidence not everyone is mentally equipped to use deadly force.
Even worse, he shouldn't have been armed for neighborhood watch regardless.

White people kill white people a lot as well without much press.

Your comparison of the shooting involving Mr. Scott with the one involving Mr. Zimmerman made about as much sense as trying to nail jello to a tree in the summer time.

Absolutely false.


Victim, with face beaten nearly to a pulp, who was obviously on back in self defense, forced to shoot??? As long as they have no warrants or history they are walking free. You do realize they would have to charge him with something to keep him... Right? And that he was taken to the station and heavily interviewed before they realized that had nothing to charge him with?



You racists are what cause racism nowadays. This mentality you have is FAR worse than the racist 80 year old man who went through a couple of wars.


I'm going to start calling this 'modern progressive racism'. You are a modern progressive racist if you truly think that the zimmerman/trayvon situation had anything at all to do with skin color.

Really..? I would say zimmerman is square in the 50% of society. There are certainly a lot of dumber people carrying guns (dunn). I don't know of anywhere in the US that allows a mentally handicapped person to carry a gun. Most states have comprehensive background checks for gun purchases which will also flag the mentally handicapped.

I still contend that him being armed likely saved his life that night. Trayvon had a series of increasingly violent incidents leading up to this situation.

He recently bragged that he liked to make people bleed. He was a violent thug street brawler with an uncontrollable temper, out looking for a fight. He even went and stashed his drugs/money/whatever on his parents porch before returning to confront z-man.

He was certainly out for blood that night.

SA,

I hope that you and Zimmerman can someday find a room and consumate your love. You have had such a hard-on for Zim for so long that I have come to believe that there is something else at work here. Why don't you just admit that you are sexually attracted to Zim and get over it? I have no problem with it if this indeed this case.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

I have a hard-on for justice, for the right to self-defense from trash thugs, and this case happens to reinforce all of that 100%.

It's a good day, to know that innocent people can lawfully shoot a thug dead if their life is threatened.

Zimmerman may have made some bad choices which put him in a bad situation, but his 'social' life was not lost for naught.

Meanwhile Zimmerman was wandering around with a gun looking to shoot a black kid. Oh man did he want to shoot someone to make up for this failure of a life, and the only thing that could make it better was to kill someone.

Only a Zimmerman supporter could believe anything so stupid.

Only a Zimmerman supporter could believe anything so stupid.

On what rational basis can you conclude with complete certainty that the shooting of Travon Martin was racially motivated?

Your modern progressive racism blinds you.




Did you watch dee dee's testimony? The super star witness of this case?

Let's not forget that zimmerman was a pillar of the black community in sanford.

He loudly stood up for black victims, including leading a charge against the sanford PD over them assaulting an unarmed black man. His very best lifelong friend was a black man who cried out (and was ignored by liberal media) that these accusation of this being race related are false.


.....And this is how he is treated..?? Not only by his local community, but also here and elsewhere. Sad.

The new definition of racism: killed a black person, regardless of circumstances.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Who actually feels sorry for George Zimmerman??
Did he actually believe that by shooting this kid that he would not be running scared the rest of his life??
PTSD.....Yeah right!

Not one bit. Fucker should be behind bars for a long time.
