George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin

I don’t understand how a child walking home from the store is considered a moron

When he's a wannabe gangster who comes out of hiding from the bushes and blindsides someone he sees as being a "creepy-ass cracker".

Why do you think Democrats see Martin as being a "child" but Sanders as an adult when both were the same age when they made the news? Why do you think the Republicans believe the reverse?
 
Agreed we've taken the wrong lessons from the tragedy. I also agree that Obama escalated the racial divide by his part in it.

That night one f***ing moron attacked another f***ing moron but the second moron had a gun and successfully defended himself from attack.
I would like to know how Obama escalated the racial divide
 
Man, right wing Taliban is getting desperate. Bringing this nonsense up? Supporting a POS like Zimmerman who murdered a teen, all because the Taliban has a hard on for cowards so scared of everything they can't survive and feel safe without hiding behind a gun?

Right out of the gate you show your majestic ignorance and make yourself look like a total idiot. Goebbels media fed I suppose?

Obama’s son was not murdered.

People like Zimmerman do not hide behind guns... they use them for self defense.


Which is why the right wing Taliban love him
ROTFLOL... if you support the 1st Ammendment, you’re RW Taliban??? ROTFLOL...



And all the racist POS who like that a black kid was killed
So much stupidity packed into such a small space... But I will agree with you on this point. If someone was joyful that he was killed because of the color of his skin... then he is a POS racist. You’re accusing people of celebrating his death? I don’t know of anyone who has.

Yup, everything is politics to them, they are scumbags. Defending such a POS like Zimmerman, all because they are ******s just like him that hide behind a gun
You talking about Obama now? You consider him a scumbag for politicizing Trayvon?

Zimmerman had his day in court and was found to have committed no crime.

Seems you are unfamiliar with the case. Did the Goebbels Media Brain **** your brain too a goo again, because you spouted a whole lotta ridiculousness.

What next? Hands-up, don’t shoot was real?
 
I'll only add that I believe Obama meant it as a "teachable moment," on making presumptions based on race but clearly we weren't ready to hear it then, and many still aren't.

Many condemn Trump, and rightfully so, for interfering with the Justice system on Stone but Democrats don't do the same to Obama for interfering in the case of Zimmerman defending himself from attack by Martin. Why the double-standard?
 
Yep, those were some flattering tweets, for sure. ;)

They weren't, but I don't think they were so far off the mark as to be able to be considered slander. I think Zimmerman is just looking for more publicity and a pay day.
 
Bootygig basically called Zimmerman a white supremacist. That might be considered slanderous.

LMAO... Good luck in court...

But the thing is..........you don’t know if any of that actually happened. What we do know is that Zimmerman was following him after he was told by the police not to and he had a gun locked and loaded
 
So, we have a video of Buttigieg reading his tweats aloud? That's the only way that makes sense. That, and they'd need to be different tweats from the ones presented here.


I hope you didn't pay retail for your law degree.

They never directly referred to Zimmerman. He has no cause to take offense, never mind any damage to claim.

We will see.

Hillary has a similar case against her from Tulsi.

“Experts” here claimed Sandman wouldn’t get ****... well... he’s got CNN to pony up 8-figures and has a slew more to go.

PS> When it came to Trump’s NDA and emoluments... I was right. Virtually all slobbering sycophantic Leftists were wrong.
 
I don’t understand how a child walking home from the store is considered a moron

While I wouldn't call him a moron, Martin should not have confronted Zimmerman. I think the consensus amongst security pros would be he should have gone to a brightly lit public place and called the police regarding the weirdo following him.

Evading and/or lying in ambush just escalated things, and enabled the tragedy just as much as anything Zimmerman did.

Of course, Martin was just an unarmed kid romping through his new neighborhood, and Zimmerman was an armed adult who had taken it upon himself to protect that same neighborhood.

I think Zimmerman's "correct" move would have been to introduce himself to Trayvon as part of the neighborhood watch, and explained he was concerned about some recent robberies, and had Martin seen anything, and did he live around here?

Either way (or both) likely would have avoided a tragedy.

He should have his day(s) in court to let a jury decide.

Well I suppose if a judge rules that there is merit to the case. But I don't see what had been tweeted as being false.

Yes, but what everyone is overlooking is the fact that if this kid were white, none of this would have happened. It is not the responsibility of a 17 year old to act like an adult. It is the responsibility of an adult to act like an adult

By stating that if he had son he would look like Trayvon. Which, of course, implied that it was Trayvon's looks rather than his actions which got George's attention/reaction.

Zimmerman's story is that he had lost sight of Martin and that, after telling the cops where he'd seen the suspicious individual, he Zimmerman parked his car in order to check the address. Martin, who had seen GZ following him, ambushed him while GZ was looking around.

Now, do we know that GZ told the truth? No. But if GZ had been chasing TM down, looking for a black kid to murder, as too many news shows implied, then his gun would have been drawn already. TM would not have had the opportunity to overpower GZ and pound his head against the ground. It's my recollection that the cops signed off on the idea that GZ had been forced to pull his gun from his pocket, though I've never been able to find this nugget verified on the Net.

Interesting theory: if Martin had killed Zimmerman, and it had come out that TM thought GZ was following him for sexual reasons, would Obama have decried the incident as a horrible offense against gay people? Eh, probably not.

To have been a victim (of gun violence or racism) requires there to have been a perp.

Really? What is your evidence of this? Let me guess your version of the story: "On a dark night, a lonely white supremacist racist 'creepy-ass cracker' decided that he was going to kill hisself a n****r. He saw a child peacefully minding his own business and eating Skittles. The racist charges after the child with his gun locked and loaded then yells 'Hey N****r!" The poor child turns around in surprise whereupon the nasty, dirty white supremacist screams "Die, n****r, die!" and shoots him point blank in the chest." Isn't that the standard Democratic all-whites-are-racist, all-gun-owners-are-murderers, blacks-need-to-be-saved-by-us version of events? Please correct me where I'm wrong.

Zimmerman may not be a wellspring of racial sensitivity, but I've seen no evidence that he held racist beliefs.

And neither did the FBI at the time.

Why? Because a white kid wouldn't have been a wannabe gangsta and blinded Zimmerman?
 
So, we have a video of Buttigieg reading his tweats aloud? That's the only way that makes sense. That, and they'd need to be different tweats from the ones presented here.

Who said it had to be read aloud?


I hope you didn't pay retail for your law degree.

Who shot travyon martin then and killed him?
a ghost?

So then you must agree that it was wrong for trump to comment on the Kaepernick controversy and the confrontation between the Native American and that Kentucky kid
