I'm starting to think Zimmerman feels so guilty he wishes he could make a full confession as to what

exactly happened that night....but....he can't...and thats the problem...

He must act out the SYG thingy.....auwe....he will forever be known as the guy who got away with murdering an innocent kid....and his guilt will consume him in the end...

2. I think he believes putting on a nice suit and pretending to be contrite will work.

There was no evidence of cognitive dissonance when he lied on the stand about his belief with regard to the teenager's age.

I think he believes he can say any halfassed thing and be believed.

6. opihimoimoi, I believe that you are speaking from the love in your own heart and being hopeful.

There has been too many abusive and violent acts in Zimmerman's record and what appears to be stalking in this case, trying to prove himself a hero, and outright lying to convince me that what you hope is true.

That would be the best thing, for everyone involved, if he could see what he's done, regard Martin as worthy of respect, just like everyone. He may have some form of mental disease that has made him like he is, IDK.

I don't believe he feels he is guilty of anything, or he would not have the record that he has. He has blamed everyone else for what he has done, no matter how vulnerable or how much he has hurt them. It seems he plays the victim, plays nice and subservient when it serves his purpose, then becomes the bully again.

Is he the epitome of evil, the composite of all that is wrong in America or the world?

No. But I believe that is how he sees his victims. And Martin was simply the one who is dead, there were many others for whom he has not been held to account.

Did you see GZ saunter into the police station just 35 minutes after murdering Trayvon. He looked like he didn't have a care in the world. No evidence at all that he had just shot and killed an innocent human being.

He didn't have any guilt then, and he doesn't have any now.

Zimmerman's Tragedy: He Bought into the Gun Culture Myths...

The result: An innocent 17 yr old kid is dead and Zimmerman himself faces (deservedly) 2nd degree Murder charges.

Many times after a murder, we hear the neighbors say "____ was such a nice guy, I had no idea he was capable of ____". Not this time. George did what he did being George. George played out to its tragic consequences what many, many gunners fantasize every day.

And that, by the way, is why George has been and will be defended so vigorously by the gun community. If they were honest, they would all wear T-shirts with George's what-did-I-do-wrong? face on it and the caption "I am George Zimmerman".

It's really a queer situation: Gunners want to defend him, but they don't want to own him.
