Things Continue To Get Worse For George Zimmerman

https://www.slantnews.com/story/2015-07-31-george-zimmerman

In the interview with Ilia Calderón, Zimmerman reported that he owes his lawyers nearly two million dollars, fears for his life, and can't live a normal life anymore. Here's the full transcript, in Spanish, of the interview. Zimmerman also criticizes Obama, claims a clear conscience, and reveals he wears a bullet-proof vest.
Recently, Zimmerman was also in the news after he was wounded in a shooting-incident while he was driving.


Couldn't happen to a more deserving idiot.

as uncollectible debt. I mean who thinks he would ever have that kind of money in his life. The guy can even stay out of trouble much less hold down a job.

The bullet-proof vest won't do much good if someone aims at his head (or right between the legs). Frankly I'm surprised he is still alive.

perhaps he could commiserate with a certain dentist

I do not condone any kind of vigilantism but it is very hard to drum up sympathy for these murdering cowards

Your life will continue to get even worse.
My guess is that you will probably soon end up in prison where someone will finally put you out of your misery.

Sort of like the Lion killing Dentist. If the official routes for obtaining Justice don't function properly, then there are other ways. Maybe the cops and judges will eventually figure out that having a functioning, race-blind judicial system is far better than the alternatives.

George Zimmerman had accomplices. He was not alone that night.

Frank Taaffe, Mark Osterman and Jeremy were there.

Frank Taaffe was the creepy C man Trayvon was referring to not hispanic looking Zimmerman. He was the old man Jeantel heard asking Trayvon what are you doing around here? Taaffe was the guy this witness saw on top with a white t-shirt on -



Most people assumed Zimmerman got out of his truck like the dispatcher assumed but he drove to the back entrance with the window down (where these assholes aways get away). Thats why we heard the wind noise from driving not running. His accomplice Mark Osterman moved his truck later with the spare key.

26. Just Wants More Money

He is doing this because he wants more money. He thought the money coming from the right wing would never end. He knows what the right wants to hear; President Obama is a bad person, Trayvon Martin was a bad person who attacked him for no reason, and Zimmerman is the real victim and is not being punished because he stood up for his rights and protected himself.
