George Zimmerman Calls Himself A 'Victim,' Obama's 'Scapegoat'

[kpete]

Cuomo: What was the miscarriage of justice?

Zimmerman: The fact that two law enforcement entities stated that I had acted within the laws of our nation, in self defense.

Cuomo: You don't think it was about the law?

Zimmerman: I know it wasn’t, yes.

Cuomo: And what does that make you? How do you, how does that make you feel?

Zimmerman: Like a scapegoat.

Cuomo: A scapegoat for?

Zimmerman: The government, the President, the attorney general.

Cuomo: And they would be scapegoating you, why? Just to show that they're taking a position on something that matters to a lot of people?

Zimmerman: I don’t like others speaking for me, so I try to give other people the benefit and not speak for them. I don’t know what they’re thinking or why they’re thinking it, all I know is that is that they’re doing it. I don’t know what agenda they have.

1. Fuck you, Zimmie boy. You brought this shit on your own ass. nt

[FreakinDJ]

2. Meet the new Joe the Plumber

[rocktivity]

3. A victim of what? He was acquitted -- he's a free man!

Welcome to the court of public opinion, Zimmy -- and may you serve a life sentence!

Good news about the civil rights case, though.

7. He's probably talking about the DOJ investigation

This case is still being investigated by the justice department.

18. That was the main defense from the gunners, of course...

That Zimmerman shouldn't have even been arrested, much less put on trial, and that Obama + Al Sharpton stirred up a lynch mob of 35 million Black Americans so Florida had no choice but to make up a quickie case to placate us and avoid coast-to-coast rioting...And a potentially guilty verdict would have been Obama's green light to confiscate guns and repeal every concealed-carry and self-defense law in all 50 states...Who knew that a teenager walking home and minding his own business could be the "trigger" for such a far-reaching conspiracy?? So the gunners had to make Zimmerman into Jesus on the cross, and he has been so deeply immersed in the role of "political martyr" for so long, he doesn't know any other way to live anymore...


Last I checked, Zimmerman is still breathing...If nothing else he should be thanking his personal god for that much and drop his tired old persecution complex...

[sked14]

4. Just when I thought this slimy POS couldn't get more stupid,

he proves me wrong.

[MoonRiver]

6. He wants to become a lawyer, bwahahahaha!

A-hole could get a zero on the LSAT!

[City Lights]

5. I saw a blurb from this interview on my local news this AM.

What a self-absorbed, fuck-faced loser.

[Renew Deal]

8. He belongs in jail

[warrior1]

9. that joker is still in denial

I wonder if he is just crying poor because he knows he'll probably lose the civil case.

[bigdarryl]

10. I see the media are still trying to make Zimmerman relevant

[Blue_Tires]

15. ABC has had the most favorable coverage towards him

so it's no surprise that they keep scoring these exclusive interviews...

[BeyondGeography]

11. He's a wretch...Never had a life, never will have one

But he did take someone else's.

[rocktivity]

12. And he didn't even have the good graces

to stand up for Michael Dunn!

13. most nutcases tend to use the persecution card

while being the biggest persecutors/bigots of them all.

[struggle4progress]

14. "Hi! My name is George! And I want more attention!"

[JI7]

16. i hope this piece of shit is feeling miserable

i know he isn't feeling miserable for being a murdering abusive piece of shit. but i would be happy to know if he is feeling miserable over his worthless life .

[dembotoz]

17. just trying to ca$h in while he still can

[okaawhatever]

19. "Acted within the laws of our nation" Ommm.....no, you acted within the laws of Florida. Laws, that

have only been passed by a few right wing legislatures at the behest of ALEC and the NRA.

[Arkana]

20. "Waaaaahhhh I shot an unarmed black kid and now everyone hates me"

This stupid POS is going to end up either dead by his own hand or in jail at some point. Either way, good riddance.

[Gothmog]

21. The best way to respond to zimmerman is to ignore him

The man is broke and can not get a job. The art scam and the boxing scheme both have failed. The best response to this idiot is to ignore him

[Blue_Tires]

22. Ignoring Zimmerman and pretending he doesn't exist

is damn near the equivalent of ignoring Trayvon Martin and pretending he never lived or died...

That doesn't mean I plan to follow every waking movement and word spoken by Zimmerman, but I will keep an occasional eye on where he is and what he's doing (if only for my own well-being)...

[Gothmog]

23. You can shun or ignore Zimmerman and still honor the death of Trayvon Martin

Zimmerman is broke, homeless and is craving attention or the chance to milk some more money from the gun nuts. The boxing match is a great example. It would be satisfying to watch someone beat the crap out of Zimmerman but that match would end up giving Zimmerman a decent pay day. I do not want to reward this idiot with attention or give him any chance to try to make money by stretching out his 15 minutes of fame in any manner.

I firmly believe that giving Zimmerman attention by attacking him risks causing the gun nuts deciding to feel sorry for Zimmerman and giving him more money or the opportunity to earn some money. Ignoring Zimmerman's pleas for attention is a good thing. Right now, the gun nuts are tired of Zimmerman and are also ignoring his pleas for more contributions. I do not want this situation to change.

I have nothing but contempt for Zimmerman but I do not want to give him a chance to try to make money off the murder of Trayvon Martin. In some ways, Zimmerman is in his own prison because he can no longer work and is basically homeless.

I am still sad beyond belief at the injustice suffered by Trayvon Martin and his family. However, helping Zimmerman earn some sympathy from the gun nuts will not help. I believe that I can honor the loss of the Martin family best by ignoring Zimmerman.

BTW, I am also taking delight in the concept that Trayvon's attorneys were stiffed. These attorneys pulled some unethical crap in this trial and I am not sorry that they were not paid. If Zimmerman is able to raise money by getting attention, some of that money may go to these lawyers.

[Blue_Tires]

24. Excellent points...

Although O'Mara won't ever miss the lost attorney fees...After the verdict CNN couldn't wait to hire him as a regular "legal analyst"

[Gothmog]

26. It is a symbolic victory maybe but still a victory

I dislike attorneys like O'Mara. I practice in a different area of the law but I dislike it when this type causes the public to doubt the profession

[etherealtruth]

25. He initiates a confrontation with an unarmed teen

... he murders the teen ... gets away with it (legally) ... and claims HE is the victim

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. Racists always say they are not racist....but if YOU accuse them of it then YOU are a racist!

its some weird victimhood logic.

[spanone]

28. go away. you got away with it. consider your ass lucky. go away.

[napkinz]

29. ...

[libodem]

31. egghead

You'd think he'd be living high on the hog with his pregnant girlfriend's welfare check, the food stamps for her and her little girl, and the WIC check.

And why she would allow that confirmed molester/murder woman beater around her female child, is beyond disgraceful. Bet he eats all the WIC cereal and milk, building up those weak pathetic dweeb arms of his.

Bet he can't put on his own coat.

[Th1onein]

30. You're a scapegoat if you stalk a teenaged kid with Skittles in his pocket.....

and then instigate a confrontation and shoot him.

Yeah, right, Zimmy. You piece of shit.

[napkinz]

32. delusional!
