George Zimmerman sues Warren, Buttigieg for tweets marking Trayvon Martin's birthday

OJ was acquitted too.

So was Casey Anthony. She was smart enough to go off grid for a bit.

He is getting his just due.

Best take on this incident! I blame the prosecutor for over charging.

 

Following someone to make sure they're not doing something wrong is instigating getting your head bashed in? I don't think so. At most it warrants a civil discussion of "why are you following me man?" It does not warrant a physical attack.

Also, no cop told him to not follow. It was a civilian dispatcher. Much like me who is not a cop yet answers emergency calls for cops. We do not have any police authority. None. We can make suggestions...but that is ALL that we can do. It does not have the force of law behind it.

 

Still means nothing, as in Trump world, words mean nothing

In our legal system, Innocent is not a factor...

Guilty - Not Guilty

 

Perhaps not. But Trayvon Martin walking to and from the store did not warrant harassment by George Zimmerman either. Martin was unarmed and not breaking the law. Just because he was doing this in what he considered to be the interest of safety does not mean he wasn't acting wrongly and did not instigate the violence that followed.

A civilian dispatcher employed by the police may not be a police officer, but they are part of the police and can be reasonably assumed to be speaking on behalf of them in this matter. And besides, I wasn't implying that Zimmerman had been given a lawful order to cease and desist. I simply said he'd been told by police not to do what he was doing with the idea that he was told as much because what he was doing was neither safe, productive, or intelligent.

 

not to mention the harm done to NASA!

Did Zimmerman know that Trayvon was unarmed and not breaking the law? No, he didn't. In fact he thought Trayvon looked suspicious because he thought he saw him peaking into windows. Wouldn't you think it suspicious if you saw someone you didn't recognize peaking into your neighbors windows?

As for instigating the violence...how? How did he instigate the violence? Again, simply following someone is not an instigation of violence. There has to be some untoward act that instigates violence. Like throwing a punch or using fighting words.

No, they're not a part of the police and they are not speaking on behalf of the police. They work with the police much like a fireman, paramedic, or heck, even a private eye. And while you may not have meant that Zimmerman wasn't given a lawful order you said the exact opposite. That the police told him to not do something. If the police tells someone to not do something then that is a lawful order that you are bound to obey (you fight it in the courts if you think it was an unlawful order).

And just for the record, that civilian dispatcher didn't even tell him not to follow Trayvon, just that Zimmerman didn't need to. The exact words were "Okay, we don't need you to do that." LINK: George Zimmerman police (not 911) call transcript

That's a far cry from "don't follow" or some variation of "not to do". That's a "we're good but you can do whatever you want" type of response.

 

If he was possibly defamed of course he has standing to sue. Though I would put his chances of prevailing at somewhere between zero and none.

 

He’s had his 15 minutes???
Are you comparing his ordeal and dragging him through the televised criminal trial as 15 minutes of fame a pop star can get with a successful hit?

 

Ordeal? Please, Zimmerman was looking for something to boost his fragile ego. He's a piece of chit, and I'm not going to rehash that injustice again.

 

Both tweets imply Zimmerman is a racist and committed an unlawful act. Why didn't they tweet that we should take this time to educate young black males to not engage in violence?

 

Zimmerman followed the direction of the dispatcher.

 

He wasn't being harassed he was being observed and it was Martin who after losing Zimmerman returned to the T junction and instigated the violence.

The civilian dispatchers have no authority to order a civilian to do anything and the dispatcher testified to that at trial. Zimmerman in fact did exactly what the dispatcher requested, he kept an eye on the suspicious person. The dispatcher did not make the suggestion "we don't want you doing that" until long after Zimmerman had left his vehicle and was standing at the T junction not knowing where Martin was or had run off to.

 

BINGO. But of course that thought will be lost to the race baiting, victim card playing crowd. Much more popular (for that crowd) to play to their ignorant base by pretending Trayvon was a victim and Zimmerman was a racist with a gun violence problem. Nevermind that they're defaming an innocent man ("acquitted" LOL.)

Trayvon Martin and that Ferguson thug Brown would both be alive today but for their own actions.

Meanwhile, I'm going to jump in and predict at least 4 more pages of leftie spun delusions about sweet innocent Trayvon, while reasonable folks beat their heads against the wall with rebuttals. And GO!........ (I'm going to sit this one out )

 

I love Fauxahontas and Bootygig pandering to dead people. Oh wait, there are plenty of they lined up and ready to vote.

 

ROFLMMFAO No...

 

It's absurd to blame Obama.

 

LMAO...So was OJ, and everyone knows he's guilty.
Zimmerman is a racist coward who murdered an unarmed kid. He has the mark of Cain on him 'til the day he dies.

 

This x 1000

Getting his just do. Life is like that ya know.

 

Is he really still alive?

 

If only Trayvon had been a dog instead of a black American teenager Zimmerman would still be in prison.

 

Perhaps this will make Martin's family sue Zimmerman for wrongful death. They should, they would almost certainly win

 

Difference between OJ and Zimmerman is that the evidence for Zimmerman all pointed towards self defense by him.

Your "racist" platitude was just a liberal talking point as there was no evidence of racism...even Obama's own DoJ concluded that..

Trayvon was a thug that should not have attacked Zimmerman. And no matter what you say that is fact and reality.

 

It would be ironic justice for continuing to tear at that scab just to keep his celebrity alive.

 

That’s complete bullshit and you know it. The security guard stalked a black kid doing nothing more suspicious than being black, was repeatedly told to stand down by his dispatcher but wanted to play cop, so he created the situation that resulted in the kid’s needless death.

 

Man, you don't even know what was said on the call to the dispatcher. I linked it in an earlier post. I'd suggest that you read it. Post 31. If you can't even get that simple point down then why the hell are you even attempting to argue anything about this case? and here you are trying to tell me what I know. I obviously know more about this case than you do. Go study it before attempting to act like you know what happened. Because you don't. Here's a hint that will help you in your studies. Get off of twitter. It's full of fake news.
