It wasn't as bad an interview as I thought it would be, save for perhaps what appears to be a complete inability to empathize with Trayvon's family. That said, the multiple complaints of this whole thing being a miscarriage of justice seemed a bit odd given that he was acquitted. Sure, he doesn't believe he should have been charged in the first place, but it would seem that the justice system ultimately vindicated rather than victimized him.

Say what you will, Martin attacked and assaulted Zimmerman. These kids were just being obnoxious with their music. I am not sure what your argument is because you are too f-ing stupid to articulate it.

I wouldn't have guessed he was the one and only person shot based on the headline.

If I'm being honest, I thought it was going to tell us that he'd shot himself
I love when this thread is bumped though. Timewaster times 100

So, this is how many arrests/gun crimes/being shot/general nuttiness incidents from Zimmerman now?
Line up FFA toolbags, here's your chance to earn your spot for FFA'er of the year by telling us again that he's a great guy who did what any normal person would have done.

Did anybody read the article? Sounds like he was shot - he wasn't the shooter.
Nvm. - I misread too.
I'm tired of hearing about this guy.

I wish the story had more facts. I wonder if Zimmerman was armed at the time, as is his wont. I wonder if Zimmerman displayed, brandished, or even shot his weapon, if he had it with him. I wonder about the nature of the ongoing dispute the story alleges he and this other fella have had.
He certainly seems to be at the eye of more storms than most have a right to be.
I'm sure there will be follow up answering some, if not all of my questions. I know this, I would not want to be him, short pudgy scared little man with a target on this back and an attitude that seems to inflame folks while having no dispute resolution skills outside of resorting to often having a firearm nearby. It is only a matter of time before he comes to a bad end, unless he can undergo a substantial change.

At this point in time, I'd consider Georgey getting shot and killed a good end.

I believe he was shot at, but not shot. he apparently may have been hit by a spray of glass, but apparently not the bullet. the article is poorly written and needs updating, and a literate editor.I read it and it sounds like he was the one shot.

I believe that many would agree with you. I am not certain I would go so far, but I understand the sentiment. He certainly has had opportunities to redirect matters before they become tragic, and to do so with little effort, yet he apparently has not done so. He may have remained inside the law, but he is outside of responsible behavior.

George Zimmerman shot at in road rage incident in Lake Mary, FL
http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2015/5/11/george_zimmerman_involved_in_shooting.html
LAKE MARY -- George Zimmerman was shot at but not seriously hurt in what Lake Mary police called a road rage incident Monday afternoon.
Police said shots were fired sometime around the 1 p.m. hour along Lake Mary Boulevard, near Rinehart Road.
Lake Mary police said it would give an update at 4 p.m.
Attorney Don West told The Associated Press a bullet missed Zimmerman's head, and Zimmerman was sprayed with glass from his windshield. Bullet holes were seen in his truck as it was towed away from the scene.
Zimmerman was taken by ambulance with minor injuries to Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford. He was released a short time later, according to West, who represented Zimmerman during his 2013 trial in which he was acquitted of murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
It was not immediately clear if the shooter has been caught. Police did not immediately release any other information about the incident.
This is a developing story. Check back and refresh this article for the latest updates.

Poor guy just always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. How unlucky.

Lake Mary police said Zimmerman and Apperson have an ongoing dispute and were involved in an altercation in September, when Apperson accused Zimmerman of trying to kill him while on the road. Both men are waiting for legal counsel before speaking with police

Odd yet we haven't heard from our forum's #1 Zimmerman supporter (who is also president of the George Zimmerman Fan Club). He is probably preparing a statement in defense of George, pointing to his past conduct of never instigating violence, with the proof being the below undisputed fact:
Instead of being a complete ###, can you articulate an intelligent point?. I am highly critical of Zimmerman as a person. He is a wimp who hides behind a gun. He is white/Hispanic trash. He is an idiot who threatens women. But despite all that, he like everyone else still is allowed equal and fair treatment under the law. The only thing I am a fanboy is is a system of justice which is fair. If it was a crime to be an idiot, Zimmerman should be doing 10 life sentences.

You accepted unconditionally everything he said about Martin. Everything. And you accepted nothing that was said in Martin's defense. Nothing. For this you will always be remembered in this forum as George Zimmerman's #1 supporter, even more so than the inane attempt at jokes you clutter every thread with.

Yeah, no, that's not accurate. The two guys who accepted everything Zimmerman said were Carolina Hustler and JoJo the Circus Clown. Jon Mx actually started out thinking that Zimmerman was guilty, and then changed his mind. I thought (and still do) that a lot of his reasoning was flawed, but he wasn't nearly as automatic a supporter as you make him out to be.
The other two I mentioned, well, they were really pathetic.

Zimmerman's attorneys could have rested immediately after the prosecution finished. The case presented by the prosecution (you know the facts) mostly supported Zimmerman. The witness who saw Zimmerman on the bottom getting beating up screaming for help. The lead investigator who believed Zimmerman. The forensic evidence which showed the shot was very close range. The key pieces of evidence supported self-defense.

But they are not posting here much anymore, so the crown goes to and shall remain with jonny. And I didn't say he was idolizing Zimmerman from the get go - more like the last 8-10 months leading up to the trial. It was so frustrating to see someone blindly accepting every single word of Zimmerman's testimony, you would have thought he was part of defense team for this obvious scumbag. Well, this is what we get as a result and his pattern of behavior since his acquittal should have been expected.

Like moths to a flame.
If you cannot see the total failure in your argument here then I am not really sure if anything is going to get through to you.

Carolina Hustler was a total piece of work. Its a little scary knowing there are dudes like him out there in society. Side note, who was the dude that answered the door with a 9mm? Now that is pure breed crazy.

I'm amazed at all the people who were so smart that they knew what went on between him and Martin when they weren't there and had no audio and video.
That's a special breed, for sure. I love situations like that on a message board. Brings out the best in every opinion.

You may have a valid point here if the prior events of the situation and his actions after the trial didnt dictate otherwise. In the Martin case it simply came down to one mans word vs another and that "another" was a dead kid. There are now way too many examples of Zimmy being a psychopath hot head for me to believe that he didnt instigate the confrontation with TM.

It's coming up on the two year anniversary of the verdict and there's still a lot of bitterness. Folks, he's not living a peaceful life.
Also, Tim has an amazing notebook.

I was talking both sides, and in the past tense.
eta* FTR, I always got the sneaking suspicion that I should side with the kid, and that Zimmerman wasn't right in the head.

The other guy involved in the altercation, Apperson, is claiming that he shot at the car in self-defense after Zimmerman waved a gun. Apperson had previously called 911 claiming that Zimmerman had threatened to shoot him dead, and called 911 on a second occasion when he saw Zimmerman near his office. In other words, it appears that there has been a history of disputes between these two guys, and there is evidence that Apperson feared for his life. Interesting turn of events.
Of course, Apperson didn't do himself any favors when he was surly with reporters yesterday who were asking him to comment.

UPDATE (3:17 PM): Zimmerman’s Twitter account has been suspended, presumably as a result of the tweet.
