Weasel of The Week: George Zimmerman

Two weeks ago, Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren & Pete Buttigieg issued tweets commemorating what would've been the 25th birthday of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen shot to death by George Zimmerman in 2012. Zimmerman, remember, was acquitted a year later when a Florida jury bought into his defense that he acted in self-defense under the state's "Stand Your Ground" law.

Today, Zimmerman, retaining conservative ambulance chaser Larry Klayman as his attorney, is suing the two candidates for a total of $265 million dollars, claiming that, even though he wasn't mentioned by name in the tweets, the candidates' statements were meant to remind voters of what he did.

Friends, you know what that makes him?

Yup, a Weasel. Klayman gets a set of Weasel ears, too, for encouraging this nonsense.

If Zimmerman hadn't been acquitted seven years ago, he'd have been on President Trump's list of pardons yesterday. You would think Zimmerman could go on with his life after acquittal, but no. Apparently, he's still butt-hurt about the whole incident, and wants to profit from it any way he can, rather than go out and, you know, find a real job. Someone should explain to this fool that his 15 minutes expired already.

    I covered the case from the beginning (and Zimmerman was right on his actions based on FL law) and it was then President Obama's people who made a mountain of what had initially been a molehill. In fact, police had given Zimmerman his gun back and had not planned on charging him since he had acted in self defense (in FL it's known as the Castle Doctrine).

    Trayvon was a thug and it was a matter of time before he would have ended up in either prison or a cemetery. I recommend the video (or book) "The Trayvon Hoax" by Joel Gilbert. He did EXTENSIVE research into this case, including a switch of Trayvon's girlfriend who was called to testify.

    That being said....

    IMO, the time has passed for Zimmerman to do this. I'm not saying he didn't have a case, but at this point he should just lay low and go on with his life.

    Seven years after being acquitted, I'd think Zimmerman would actually find a job, lay low, and move on, but apparently, his notoriety in Florida leaves him thinking he can't work. Easy prey for an ambulance chasing attorney......

    Zimmerman has had various death threats over the years so it's justifiable that finding a regular job would be difficult. Plenty of people have been doxxed for way less. His attorney however, is no ambulance chaser.

    He is if he runs a conservative organization that is loyal to President Trump. Klayman's no angel, either.
