With such a toxic topic, it's important that outlets provide as much toxic coverage as possible, rather than just ignoring the whole thing.
http://www.wftv.com/news/officials-...agging-about-killing-trayvon-martin/417278308 Zimmerman says he was punched and had his life threatened because he was recognized. Witnesses say he was bragging about killing Martin and even showed his ID to prove it was him. Too bad Martin didn't have any witnesses.
I assume you, like me, are having a hard time believing these witnesses. I can't imagine that he makes a show of it in public after all the problems it has caused him. He's a stupid POS, but can't be that stupid. I think this is a guy trying to avoid legal trouble for threatening to kill a guy. Maybe Z thinks it will get him free rounds of drinks or something, but this bragging story seems ludicrous.
It does indeed, but he keeps having these little problems of people confronting him violently, all the way back to Martin. Just an unlucky guy?
I think the current confrontations are all about the initial one. He might have been stupid in the first and invited the attack, but I believe he shot the guy in self defense. I certainly don't think there was enough proof to support murder.
I suspect that if Casey Anthony was walking around Florida as freely as Zimmerman that she would get into some unprovoked violent confrontations. Would that mean that she is starting or inviting them? Disliked people are disliked.
I don't think he's the first to have to deal with this kind of thing. With him getting as much national attention I'm sure it's a huge problem for him. Perhaps deservedly so, but I don't think these encounters necessarily indicate he is out looking for trouble.
That's an excellent example against your point. We don't hear about her having run-ins with the public, or trying to adopt children.
Also, Casey Anthony is a woman, so probably right away that turns off a huge portion of people that want to teach her a lesson.
"If you meet an asshole in the morning, you've met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day--you're the asshole." Zimmerman is more of a "meets assholes all day" type of dude.
I have been to that restaurant and it reminded me of a biker bar. Probably did not take too much talking for an idiot like him to get his ass kicked.
Seeing as his life has been destroyed, I doubt he has real prospects for making money. May as well sue the people at the center of the Trayvon myth.
Sue himself for a million, pay himself a million, sue himself for a million, pay himself a million. Pretty sure that's unlimited money.
There are a thousand ways he could have moved forward from this. It's incredible he has circled back.
