...but, it's all about appearances. Still, glad he came out with this. The RWers are celebrating this story.

Righties from the Gungeon here on DU.

This just confirms that Zimmerman is clueless. This guy is totally unable to learn from the past which means that he is likely to get into hot water in the future.

he was not acting as a neighborhood watch person when he murdered Trayvon Martin, but the liberal media keeps claiming that.

Those asshole always get away.

is he just NOW figuring out his client is a murdering gun humping COWARD?

Why does he need a PR plan? He just wants to be left alone - right? When I was in marketing - I went to PR to create media attention around a device, a price plan, a country launch . . .

Sounded like a plan to me!

His lawyer may have just given an accidental hint about the overturned car rescue.
I thought that was too coincidental to be true.
What a disgusting lot of people.

about how a cop called him and tipped him off about the accident, since he was in that area....so he could get there before the police and emergency personnel got there....and the news people. The people had already been helped by others who were there before Zimmerman showed up.

Completely PR.

Thx

Where is that "rescued" family anyway? What EVER happened to them and why the family FAILED at hitting the P.R. circuit to expressing FOREVER LOVE for Zimmerman saving them from the turnover car?

Like my late Mother use to express, "God don't like ugly". It's just a MATTER of TIME before George Z. does something stupid again. Think O.J. Simpson....

Zimmerman has few, if any, sources of income, and likely a great deal of debt. Visiting Kel-Tec was extremely foolish from a PR perspective, but if it's what puts food on the table, I'm hardly surprised.

Additionally, unless his trip to Kel-Tec was illegal, I simply cannot understand the continued fascination with Zimmerman, regardless on your belief in his guilt or innocence. Aren't there more timely and relevant shooters in the news, like the nut at the school in Georgia?

for his defense by all the rabid wingnuts? If I remember correctly, he was living off of all that money....well, who knows how much it was or how long it would last!

However, I would assume that even if the amount was significant, that was still insufficient to cover his legal expenses, including attorney and expert fees, no less provide him with a livable income.

of his "defense fund" from just before the trial. It appears that the cowardly murderer and his slimy defense team went through around $350K before the trial even started.

and who knows how much more after that heart-felt appeal.

Can't say I'm sorry that a bunch of suckers wasted their money on this loser.

Can't say I'm surprised that he and his wife (is she still in the picture?) ran through it all--after perjuring themselves over it first.

No one has a "continued fascination" with Georgie Z. He continues to make stupid moves which are going to be covered by the media. Maybe Georgie needs to have a chat with Casey Anthony on how to stay under the radar.

Until then, every time Georgie does a stupid thing, the media is going to cover it and we as the Public-at-Large have a right to talk about it. Okay?

I, personally, just do not see the fascination. It's like watching a car wreck on the side of the highway.

I believe Zimmerman is best ignored and forgotten.

"ignored and forgotten". Oh by the way, NEVER forgotten. May I live long enough to see the scales balanced.

....given your pro-gun stance, as expressed in the Gun Control & RKBA group. If I were on that side of the issue, I'd devoutly wish for Zimmerman to be ignored and forgotten, and damned quickly. Ain't going to happen.....

and now Zimmerman. I thought that this was Democratic Underground...

they still invoke Heston's spirit during their cross burnings, or whatever ceremonies they engage in...

You fully realize that I'm no conservative and that there's no contradiction at all in my thinking. I assume you're just frustrated and irritable about the Zimmerman acquittal.

I heartily support the First Amendment, even if it protects a television channel I don't agree with, such as Fox News. We do not need the First Amendment to protect popular speech.

I also support the Second Amendment, but need not, and do not, like George Zimmerman.

I believe in a classically liberal interpretation of the entire Constitution. The same liberal interpretation that protects a woman's right to choose, privacy protections and other liberal values.

I do not make exceptions to my liberal beliefs and values because those that may disagree with my politics also benefit. If so, then I would NOT truly have liberal values.

You certainly may believe what you wish. However, when you pick and choose when to uphold your purported liberal values, you are not liberal, you are a hypocrite.

As to the topic at hand, I've already stated that I do not like Zimmerman. He needlessly killed an unarmed teenager and currently may be dangerous because he has a hero complex. Nevertheless, he was acquitted in court and can legally buy firearms. Most importantly, I fear that the constant attention given Zimmerman will encourage some idiot to attack him, and the result will be the unnecessary death of the assailant, Zimmerman, or worst of all, innocent bystanders. You cannot possibly believe that would be a good outcome, no matter how much you believe that a miscarriage of justice was committed, unless you believe in vigilantism which is certainly not a liberal value.

an ambulance to chase? It is obvious to many of us what your motives are in posting on these very specific threads.

WHATEVER HE DOES IS NEWS - he is a PROVEN THREAT to public safety

He's stopped for speeding in Texas and has a load gun in the car. Now he is having his picture taken at a gun factory. Where will he pop up next? Oh! I have it figured out! He'll be signing autographs at gun shows.

I see the jerk is almost back to his fighting weight, all slim and trim, like he was the night he killed Trayvon Martin, not the bloated mess he made of himself for the trial. Odd that when everyone was talking about how out of shape and unathletic he was, no one remembered that Georgie was real healthy looking strolling into the police dept. that night.

PR? And how would PR benefit him? By portraying him as Joe the Watchman. Everyman, who saved his neighborhood, who fought injustice and won, who pulls babies from burning cars, and who does it with the aid of KEL-TEC, CHOICE OF EVERYMEN EVERYWHERE!!

Problem is, Zimmerman doesn't seem to have any of those characteristics. He's a schlub with delusions of glory, and he doesn't understand that many people are onto him, and his charade looks more and more like just that every day.

I'm fascinated by the lawyer's used of language. I guarantee you, during the trial he would NEVER have said "the gun that he used to shoot Trayvon Martin through the heart." I sense the rat swimming from the ship.

But his job was to defend him as best he could.

Believe me, if you ever need a criminal defense lawyer, you are going to want one who is not making judgements about you and presenting an anemic defense based upon his own opinions. A good defense lawyer is one who does his or her best regardless of their opinion of the accused.

A defense lawyer's # 1 function is to keep the cops and the system honest and point out the flaws in the case, that would lead to a conclusion that the threshold of "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" has NOT been met.

See Acquittal

I think racial bias played a role in the jury's decision.

But it is the defense attorney's job to seek that verdict, no matter what piece of shit he has for a client, and it is just silly to demonize him for it.

gun whores, all of them

I wonder if Z-Man is hatching some new violent fantasy in his fevered little unconscious.

He should be on a short leash.

That's how O'Mara is going to recoup money from defending Zimmerman. Him and his slime-ball associates.

of staying out of prison for the rest of his life.

So proud.

the Gungeon has checked in to defend Zimmy boy. GZ's own attorney is pissed because his antics may devalue the book and movie deals being discussed. Can't have that now, can we?

The only thing true to form here, is your characterization of posts made by a single poster as "the gungeon".

He's revelling in the memory of it and the instrument that made it possible.

And when people stop sending him money for it and he stops getting invites to rightwing radio shows, he will try it again.

The burning car thing didn't work out so well. I'm guessing he'll go for something bigger next time. Hope nobody (else) gets hurt.

looks like he doesn't listen.

During the trial myself and others wondered if George Zimmerman had gained weight to make himself look less threatening. It looks like that was the case. Zimmerman, although he may not yet be back to his pre-trial size, has lost a large amount of weight. In addition, he is once again going with a nearly bald look. I guess someone told him it would be hard for people to believe he was getting his head bashed against concrete if he had no hair.

He looks very fit to me as well. I believe 100% that he got fat for the trial. I wonder if his homie from the MMA gym has been helping him get into shape....

How long did that take you - or your spokesman Shawn Vincent?

Zimmerman is clearly a man with no conscience, and no sense whatsoever of responsibility or consequences for his actions. Certainly no sensitivity either.

Still appalling as hell.

Sick stuff!

Or is he paying you (the blood money sent to him by fools) a retainer to attempt to create some kind of positive public image? Seriously?

Stay in the public eye, Zimmie. Please stay in the public eye. We always want to know where you are, so we can be sure to be somewhere else.

in the criminal pre-trial, immunity has not attached. Now, he may try for a hearing on the civil suit....but I think he may find himself SOL.

... against any unarmed boys who might hunger for a snack of ice tea and Skittles.

This is about right. A racist POS murderer visits the factory of the maker of the weapon he used to kill an unarmed teenagr. Geez About right for amerikka as a public relations profit generating stunt.

for him to relive his proudest moment.

I can think of no other reason why he would take a tour of the factory that made the gun he used to kill Trayvon with. He isn't remorseful. He doesn't care. He knows that he'll have supporters no matter what he does. It's mean. It's spiteful. It's callous. And he couldn't give a shit less. I'm willing to bet he gets off on it - Relishing his role as America's heel.

you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

Just shut up and book him on Maury Povich.

Whoops on the homily repeat.

This completely fits his profile so the surprise would be if he didn't do these kinds of things. This is the real George Zimmerman.

"I wanna shake the hand that....."

I hope he spends all day around a lot of guns and other gun owners... karma exists, and I for see Zimmerman's death from a "stray" bullet.

very sad

but the sooner this A-Hole is found face down in a ditch the better off society will be.

Your side lost. Get over it. It was obviously a correct verdict.

GZ was brutally attacked, as far as the only evidence that exists indicates. To blame GZ for this is probably unfair. There is no evidence that GZ was at fault - none.

I hate guns and I think it should be illegal for the public to own them; but if I were attacked, as GZ probably was, and I had a weapon on my person I'd have a short term love affair with that weapon. It's very easy for people here to be brave while sitting behind a computer screen. You weren't the one being attacked and your future health and safety wasn't at stake.

I think if I were a young, black male I would probably shoot Zimmie the first time I saw him on the street. And claim self-defense under Florida's Stand Your Ground laws. But, that's just me. I certainly wouldn't hold it against anyone who did it though. Does that make me a racist?

All evidence indicates that TM attacked GZ. There is no evidence that GZ ever threaten or attacked TM. The lynch mob around here is disgusting.


GZ is GUILTY!

... that says it all right there. Ugh.

what a dumb ass....
