Zimmerman Prosecution Opening Statement: "F**king Punks" [View all]

Last edited Mon Jun 24, 2013, 12:53 PM - Edit history (1)

The prosecutor in the case opened with the words of George Zimmerman..."fucking punks"....uncensored, on LIVE TV, REPEATEDLY!

Chuck Todd jumped in apologizing for the language, saying they needed to implement a 7 second delay.

My thoughts: People everywhere NEEDED to hear that in an uncensored way so they know EXACTLY who Zimmerman is! Good for the prosecution!!!!
