George Zimmerman in a recent interview accused President Barack Obama of a dereliction of duty by using racially charge comments to divide the public against him during his murder trial.
Although Zimmerman turned down many requests for interviews after he was acquitted for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, he spoke to his divorce lawyer about the case in an interview recorded earlier this month.
****
The former neighborhood watchman insisted that he had a clean conscience after he was found to be not guilty.
I believe God has his plans, and for me to second-guess them would be hypocritical, almost blasphemous, he said when asked if the encounter that ended Martins life would have turned out differently.
And according to Zimmerman, Barack Hussein Obama was the government official who was the most unfair to him by far.

He's a violent man who will always rationalize it so he can live with himself. Eventually, he's going to run into a brick wall with that.

That shouldn't happen to innocent Americans. Right George?

(89,259 posts)it might be one thing if he stuck to the "i was scared" type excuse and said he wishes it had all turned out differently.
but this just shows what a fucked up piece of shit he is.

(43,189 posts)And I think John Guy's arguments in particular were impassioned and strong.
But I do think the prosecution wasn't as aggressive towards some witnesses as they ought to have been, and they lost a key opportunity to lay out the glaring logical holes in Zimmerman's various claims.
But Juror B37 on the jury was huge. During jury selection, she said she had a concealed weapons permit and she described the peaceful protests in Sanford as "riots". After the verdict, she was the first juror to speak up and she announced she was writing a book on the trial. Everything about her seems as though she was forceful and opinionated, and I'm sure that played a big role in the jury room.

(34,648 posts)I think he may be suffering from delusions or something very deeply concerning. He needs to admit himself for treatments. I see he blamed Obama.

(24,372 posts)He has too large an ego for that
Someone else doing it?
Much more likely.

(34,648 posts)He swears he's a gift to us all. I still think he has lost it. Serious.

(24,372 posts)It wouldn't surprise me if he already has a book deal.
But sooner or later he will do or say the wrong thing to the wrong person, quite possibly a cop and get killed for it.
And the perpetrator will skate too.
And then he will be a smudge in the history books.
And BTW, I agree with the title line of the OP completely. Not just fuck you but go and get fucked by a pineapple hooked to a chainsaw the hard way!
Damned waste of decent carbon and O2
bravenak
(34,648 posts)He probably will decide to secure his neighborhood from 'burglars' and will follow a black guy. Will be an off duty cop and he'll get killed. Grand jury won't indict and nobody will protest. Except Fox News, of course.

He is really a scary sort.

Perfect ticking time bomb

No concept of remorse
He would do it again

bravenak
(34,648 posts)The way he acts like it was meant to be? Sounds like a serial killer in between victims. BTK was kinda strange like him without the religious stuff inserted into it. This man is a phoney. Serial killers seem to like thinking of themselves as the victims of society and authority figures. When he shoots something up, I will personally buy a web address and build a site to blame it on the donors, Fox News, that stupid Juror, all of those idiots who defended him. And him. I give him one year tops! Back arrested by that time.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,372 posts)I see him as I said, a failed cop wannabe
He wanted to be a LEO so bad he could taste it. But no force or jurisdiction would have him.
Honestly I think that has made him more of a concern.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)They want that feeling back. He wants people defending him and helping him. He loved it. The ways he was so happy. I would have felt so guilty. He misses the spotlight.

(43,189 posts)I think what happened that night was that Zimmerman wanted to detain Trayvon (for the crime of...um...walking?) until police came. When Trayvon resisted, Zimmerman thought showing his gun would stop him. Of course, that only made Trayvon to cry for help. Zimmerman was pissed off (he already was having a bad evening) and panicky, so he shot him.

(46,752 posts)Not only does he believe it, but he probably has a good share of beer guzzling buddies and their good ole boy patriarchs that support him.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)He was their hero and still is. I will never put it past him to involve himself in a no win situation and kill another person. And stiil recieve loads of support if the dead person is black. I'm glad I live as far away from the man as possible. He should be watched like a hawk.
Skidmore
(37,364 posts)and was going to post it. This man is just seriously disturbed. He will kilk again. I can't see how someone this twisted won't.
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,189 posts)I thought he would lay low and not attract attention to himself after all the infamy surrounding his trial. I mean, has anyone heard from Casey Anthony after her trial?
But I now know I was wrong, and the people saying he'd be back in the news were right. So far, he's been detained by police after an alternation with his ex-wife and her father, arrested for domestic violence twice, involved in a road rage incident, and been in the news several other times.
I'm sure he'll be in the news again in about six months for something else he's done. Hopefully it won't be fatal. The man is a ticking time bomb.
RedCappedBandit
(5,514 posts)So let's get this straight. The omnipotent benevolent god figure planned the murder of an innocent kid as he walked home after buying candy. That was part of his "plan" and Zimmerman was his holy vessel to carry out this murder. Nevermind that any omnipotent being who would plan the murder of an innocent child is a piece of shit clearly not worthy or worship.
Then it stands to reason that Obama's statements on the murder are also part of god's plan. So isn't it therefore blasphemous for him to criticize Obama's statements?
Or are only some things part of his plan? How do you determine what is part of the plan and what isn't?
Fucking ridiculous.

(12,799 posts)On the other hand, it's always offensive to me when someone views tragedy through the "happened for a reason" lens. Zimmerman is most aggravating, but the same mindset always is to me, even in its less evil incarnations.

Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)does not make someone a "Zimmerman apologist". Zimmerman is a despicable racist who went looking for trouble that night but based upon the evidence that was presented at trial, from the witnesses and the forensics, the jury was correct in not convicting him of murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
Similarly, I think OJ Simpson was very likely guilty of murder, but I recognize that problems with the prosecution case (in particular, the presence of the racist cop Mark Furhman on the investigation team) could have introduced sufficient reasonable doubt in the case for the jury to find OJ not guilty. Based upon your logic that would make me an "OJ Simpson apologist".
