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

Time for Democrats to help us relive the incident that Obama used to vastly worsen the racial divide in America. Buttigieg and Warren are jackasses.

I saw that!

I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

And, how, pray tell, is it that it is Democrats reliving anything, when Zimmerman is the guy filing?????? You reactionaries and your silly and pointless inversions!

George Zimmerman is a loser. Always was, always will be. A loser who had a gun, and who became a hero to bigots. How many times has he been locked up now? Two, at least.

They may put him on Fox once or twice. Then they’ll remember why they didn’t to begin with. I hope his agent gets his money up front.

I recall massive demonstrations when they initially announced there would be no charges. Where Obama was in that I don't recall. I don't find it particularly interesting or relevant either as his comments were pretty mild.

Maybe Zimmerman should sue Obama next. I'm sure that will bring him closure, so he doesn't feel the need to lash out every time someone mentions the kid he killed while "protecting the neighborhood."

Again, demonstrations which Obama fanned by interfering in a local matter. That wasn't the last time he did it either. FWIW, I liked Obama and think he is a good man. The problem with him was two-fold IMO; he was a 21st Century version of Jimmy Carter in a hostile world and he tended to take sides in race relations which only exacerbated racial issues. The Zimmerman trial was just one example.

I've already stated I found his comments mild.

Substantiate your claim. Show me where Obama took sides. All I recall was a sympathetic message about how he could relate to Martin, because he was black and had children. Surely there must be more?
 
Had Zimmerman been a law abiding gun owner and stayed in his car as he was asked, Trayvon would be alive today. Instead he's just a hustling loser.

And I already stated, like you said about Zimmerman, his words were legal but not moral. It was an unprecedented interference. While Obama didn't cause Trump or Trump's actions, they were certainly precursors.

Zimmerman was a law-abiding gun owner and no one asked him to stay in the car. If you have evidence to the contrary, please post it.

Then show me what Obama said that was wrong. You say he picked sides. Let's see it.

Also, you are the only person here that wants to talk about Trump's pardons. Trying to strap it to this OP is foolishness. Obama pardoned some drug dealers, go chase that around.

Awww, we should bet money. I knew you were wrong when you posted "stayed in his car as he was asked"; your own article proves he was never asked to stay in his car. He was already out of his car and going after the running suspect. The fact he called the police upon spotting the suspect disproves all those claiming Zimmerman intended doing something illegal.

Here's a better link of the conversation between Zimmerman and the Dispatcher: Transcript of George Zimmerman's Call to the Police

I gave a you link which quoted him. You immediately dismissed it as "opinion". I'm guessing if I posted a similar link about Trump you'd accept it. :)
 
"In 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife called 911 to report that Zimmerman had assaulted her father and was threatening her with a gun. Zimmerman wasn't charged over the incident. In November of that same year, Zimmerman was charged with felony aggravated assault after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend during a domestic violence incident. The case was later dropped. In January 2015, Zimmerman was again charged with domestic assault after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at a different girlfriend. Again the charges were later dropped."

Yes, because a black man should keep quiet about race relations - he should know his proper place.

I don't think you meant it that way, but that's an unfair characterization of his 8 years. What I saw was a person VERY reluctant to wade into divisive race issues, and when he did offer what were very careful comments. What then followed was the predictable right wing outrage machine kicked into gear and of course found some way to make him out to be a Malcolm X equivalent, same way they made a big deal about his golf, his vacations, his tan suit, his birth certificate, etc.

Just for example, you cannot say how he "interfered" with this matter in any way. Quote him if you want and show how his comments interfered with anything. Here's his comments after the trial. Seem pretty measured to me.

In a law suit? IMO...I seriously doubt anyone is going to win a law suit based in speculation of who is being references when no specific name. It's the person filing the lawsuit that needs to show burden of proof.

The tweet was generalization:

“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.”

Was it tweeted for political agenda? - possibly so! Especially if neither candidate made tweets on Trayvon's birthday in the past.
 
Zimmerman wasn't even named, so I strongly suspect his reaction is simply an attack of guilt-along with a garnish of attention-seeking.

A charming US citizen with an unblemished character, obviously.

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.



ROTFLOL... if you support the 1st Ammendment, you’re RW Taliban??? ROTFLOL...




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.


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?

Whatever Taliban, you are the forum joke. Your post is 100% projection.

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?

It always seemed to me he confronted the guy who was following him in a truck and then on foot, in the dark, and it all went sideways.

Zimmerman's story never did sound plausible.

Had he stayed in his truck, none of this would have happened.

And there has to be a point where one's actions make one at least partially responsible for the events that follow.

Didn't the cops tell that racist wannabe to stay out of it when he called them? Zimmerman is a scumbag, typical cowardly bully, just had to go out there after the black man who was minding his own business. Zimmerman should have been on the receiving end of that bullet, not Martin. At least that way the worst thing would be Martin would be in jail instead of dead. May he rest peacefully, my sympathy to his family.

Any story is that much easier when the other side isn't alive to contradict it.
