TYT: George Zimmerman Celebrity Boxing Match - Is He Asking For Trouble?



#0 Sez: "Alternate Title: Who gets to beat the living shit out of George Zimmerman?"

"George Zimmerman has announced he's putting up his dukes for a celebrity boxing match — one that still needs an opponent.

"It was my idea," the heavyweight gunslinger told Radar Online of his upcoming plans orchestrated by former professional boxer Damon Feldman.

Zimmerman called boxing a hobby he had "prior to the incident" — that incident allegedly being the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 — and one he's since started up again.

In a newly released photo of Zimmerman showing off his guns — of the flesh and blood variety — he grins from ear-to-ear with two balled-up fists in the air."* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.

He just said that he had been boxing for a long time and he's pretty good at it. GZ said that.
I guess the ' George was so weak he had no choice but to shoot a thuggy child' explanation wasn't so great after all.

And the biased jury believed the trainer.

Now, he is some kind of tough guy who can beat trained people up (of course, I'm sure he carries a gun just in case his fists fail him).

My husbAnd asked if we all get to take turns with him in the ring. I wish it were so.
But apparently he only wants to fight Kanye west. For beating up defenseless people....

I've been saying to my friends we should arrange a death match between George Z and O.J. Simpson. Maybe they'll kill each other and rid the world of two assholes that really need to be in a grave.

Zimmerman has not yet earned celebrity status. He's just some stupid shit who wants it. OJ is an asshole, and a killer/armed robber, who was a previously a well liked celebrity.

I just don't ever want to see him again after this. If he gets hurt bad enough, and he knows his much everybody loves seeing him get punched out, maybe he'll go back into hiding? I would loved that really.

I don't see him as a celebrity. I see him as a murderer.

And he will fight someone who will take a dive for the money, not someone who will kick the shit out of him...
Sorry but I am cynical as they come, because the right wing loves their heros.

No way is Z going to choose the Game, he'll pick some paid flunky to make it seem almost real, but he won't be badly hurt.

Somebody will take a dive for Creampuff.

Hope child protection is monitoring the female child of his current hostage girl friend. He should not be around minors with his history of molestation.

That little girl needs protection. Serious as a heart attack.

Killing another human being and getting away with it, is this what qualifies a person to become a celebrity?

In seeing retribution, I hate seeing him get any attention.

It feeds his sick twisted notion that he is something other than a child molesting murderer.
