George Zimmerman agrees to celebrity boxing match

Charity's a fine idea. A soup kitchen would be nice. It's another example of some poor decision-making in my mind. Reminds me of Tonya Harding.

Perhaps next will be Dancing with the Stars?
 
Well, he did kill an unarmed minor...I know, no biggie.
False narrative to spin what actually happened, against Zimmerman.
He killed a young adult who had been beating his head into the ground.
 
What I said is a fact completely free of spin. You do spin.

Wrong.
It is purposeful spin to make it appear Zimmerman was in the wrong when he wasn't.

Using your own body as a weapon is not being unarmed.
And he was a young adult old enough to be emancipated and join the military.
And old enough to be charged as an adult.
 
This is what you do. He did not get emancipated. He did not join the military. He wasn't charged. On the other hand, Zimmerman killed an unarmed minor. Until you come up with something to dispute this fact I am done talking about it. Zimmerman killed an unarmed minor.

:naughty
No, this is what you do, and you always get corrected by someone.
Stop the spin and you wouldn't be corrected.
But we know you can't because you just have to make it appear as though Zimmerman was in the wrong when he wasn't.

Doesn't matter if he had been.
I said he was a young adult old enough to be emancipated and charged as an adult for a crime.
That puts your claim of being a minor in perspective

And you claim of being unarmed is untrue.
A person using their own body as a weapon is not unarmed.
But as we can see you want to be dishonest to present a false narrative.
And it is why you are going to be corrected you you spout such nonsense.

The Game said he will be fighting for the legacy of that little thug in training?

I'm sorry, this kid would have wound up dead or in jail...his track record speaks for itself (go ahead, tell me all about how he 'was just turning his life around). Zimmerman isn't a model example, complex or not...he was defending himself, and was found to be innocent. Done deal.

He's quite the shining example of our lovely youth :roll:

Off of baby trayvon the angels phone. He's 17. I'm pretty sure he's not doing IDPA or pro 2A.

I'm sick of the race baiters on this. He was a little punk, thought he was hard, got caught up...was in over his head, and he ended up drowning in it. If this never happened, we would be able to see him doing a dime in miami/dade for something full retard, or probably dead. If you're dumb enough to try and rush someone in a stand your ground state, you deserve what's coming...knock knock, who's there, Darwin...you're trying to roll someone in a stand your ground state, dumbass, now remove yourself from the gene pool.

It is simply a fact he killed an unarmed minor, and I some point that night, even according to Z's account, Zimmerman made a decision that put him in a position that he (according to him) had to kill Martin. It might have been self defense, but if Zimmerman were a responsible adult he could have avoided it.

QUOTE=Rainman05;1062874169]Yes, and while he did kill someone, he did so in self defense, so it wasn't murder. The court said it, so that's the reality of things. You may not agree, but you have no moral or legal leg to stand on now to support any accusation. I mean, there is 1 leg you can choose to stand on... more like a tail really, and that's vigilantiism. Which is what those 2 rappers do.

So....he must have walked into Trayvons fists, and that ground just happened to have gotten in the way?

Kid had it coming, one way or another, someone with Trayvons mindset wasn't long for this planet.

Vigilantiism is not a civil liberty.

How is it vigilantism when Zimmerman is inviting them to fight him?
 
Zimmerman is not a martyr. The guy could serve charity and the public how most people do. Instead he prefers to remain in the spotlight for whatever reason.

I have constantly said I don't hate him, and there is a difference for having compassion for a deeply troubled person verses supporting and encouraging him in everything he does. To some people he is an archetype, but to me he is a human in need of serious support and help, not encouragement and idolization.



Of course they're racists. They see themselves as the people who will avenge black people by hitting the "oppressor" in the form of zimmerman. Doesn't matter what race zimmerman is, what matters, is that he isn't black and that black people need an avenger. Someone to set the score straight.

Read what he wrote:

"And now The Game, who has an image of Martin tattooed on his leg, tells TMZ he would definitely jump into the ring with Zimmerman: "I will beat the f--- out of him ... I would not be boxing for me. I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family."

"I would box him to knock him out," The Game continues. "I would definitely take pleasure in it. It's legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon."

DMX also talked to TMZ, saying that he hopes to step into the ring with Zimmerman to fight for "every black person who has been done wrong in the (legal) system."
"
You see, in their minds, the legal system failed trayvon. Now what happened to him may have been wrong, in the sense that it shouldn't have happened, but it did. The question is: does that make Zimmerman guilty? No, apparently, it doesn't. He is innocent of all fault in that incident, but yet, because he isn't a black guy and trayvon was, he still needs to get punished because in their minds, when they'll beat zimmerman, they'll be fighting for every black person who was wronged by the legal system. So they're racists, black supremacists and vigilantees.
And with all people of such nature, they're stupid. One: zimmerman doesn't have judicial power. He didn't found himself innocent, others found him not guilty. He had no greater input or power over the verdict than it is legally possible. Two: Zimmerman is actually a martyr here. He's going to willingly put himself in harms way from a bunch of people who he knows will be out for blood... and he does it for charity. He's a martyr. If anything, people who hate him should eat their words, but of course they won't, and start giving the man some respect.
 
Hyperbole much... This is not vigilantism. This is going to be a boxing match, which is within the law and both are agreeing to it.

Wonder if he'll be able to "stand is ground" without the comfort of packing a weapon, or if he'll cry like a little girl the first time he gets punched in the nose, like he did the last time.
 
One must realize that celeb boxing is not real boxing. He is not stepping into the ring with a professional boxer or even some amateur who has fought in a number of matches.

Most likely it will be another celeb clown and will consist of wild swings and clutching.

So he won't need a backup piece? :lol:
 
We don't even know of he will go through with it. I think he isn't allowed to sell his most recent painting because of copyright infringement, and next thing we hear is this. Maybe he announced it to test people's reactions. Seems to me that he looks for approval and validation through his little fan club that sees him as a hero, martyr, victim, etc.. He and his brother communicate with them on social media. I think Zimmerman lives a in bubble of people more eager to support him than actually help him. The guy seems deeply troubled, and I think he is headed for more trouble.

This isn't a fair match up considering the other guy is going to be armed with the canvas...

i suspect he does not want his 15 minutes of 'fame' to have expired

read their statements. I have to constantly repeat myself. Here, let me make it easy for you. Since it's clear that at least 3-4 people in this thread are illiterate.

And now The Game, who has an image of Martin tattooed on his leg, tells TMZ he would definitely jump into the ring with Zimmerman: "I will beat the f--- out of him ... I would not be boxing for me. I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family."

Vigilantiism.

So let me ask you again. Do you think people who stand up for civil liberties are racists? Do you think MLK is a racist?

that's not the point. You keep dodging the question because the truth would hurt your little "progressive" which is actually regressive view.

If you look at the statements both rappers made, they clearly see themselves as vigilantees and out to get zimmerman for black people who've been failed by the system. That, is racism. One of them has a trayvon martin tatoo on his leg. If people make tatoos of underrage children, them being adults, it's either they're stupid or pedophiles. I think he's both.

How is it vigilantism when Zimmerman is inviting them to fight him?

Look at what they're saying. I posted what they were saying half a dozen times. If you can't read, that's not my fault.

Hyperbole much... This is not vigilantism. This is going to be a boxing match, which is within the law and both are agreeing to it.

I will redirect you to read their statements.
I have already said it. It's not the event itself that is vigilantiism, it's the 2 rappers who wanna participate that are vigilantes. It's the statements of the 2 racists. They won't go in that ring to fight for charity, that's just zimmerman, he's the hero. they wanna go in there for vengeance, for retribution because of race.

I'm not dodging anything I'm trying to find where you make the leap to racism. You keep iterating over and over that DMX and The Game standing up for what they see as black civil liberties is racism. I've pointedly asked you about this several times which you will not answer directly and you go back to your original long winded rant about them being racists and vigilantes which I have addressed.

Black people standing up for themselves is not racism. Complaining about a judicial system that historically has failed blacks is not racism. Wanting to beat up somebody in a consensual boxing match; a person that they feel wrongly walked away from criminal activity, is not racism. They are not "vigilantes", Zimmerman was the damn vigilante. If DMX or The Game went over to Zimmerman's house to knock on the door and assault him when he opened it; that would be vigilantism.

The only conclusion I can draw is that you are avoiding the point that the racist here is you.

This is not black people standing up for themselves. If you're comparing the actions of these 2 rappers with that of MLK, then you're really downplaying what MLK tried to achieve. I mean, it's apples and rotten apples. (and just to be specific here, mlk = apple, the 2 rappers = rotten apples).

You have no addressed anything. The only thing you address is accusations that I'm a racist and dodging the topic. It is a pretty sad state of affairs but you know, to each his own. In your mind, I'm sure you're making sense.

This is vigilantiism. It's not on the same scale as say, what the black panthers want to do by putting a bounty on zimmermans' head, but it's the same principle -> hurt someone because of racially motivated reasons. And that, is racism.

Zimmerman is not a vigilante. He is innocent, a court said so and there are no grounds for appeal. So whether you agree with the verdict or not, it doesn't matter, the verdict is there and it is the reality of things. I know you'd rather see him as a man who "got away from justice" but I don't see it that way. He is a man which justice has not let slip, but has protected his rights and civil liberties. He is innocent but still, some racists, wanna beat the snot out of him because, again, racism (one of THEM attacked one of OURS)
 
I would not be boxing for me. I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.

jebus, america is ****ed
 
I hope whoever boxes him brings skittles and tea and wears a hoodie and puts the beat down on him.

lol, I'm sure a washed out, skinny crackhead like DMX will make a great stand in. I bet he even has one of those fake gold grills like Martin, as well
