Jerry Baumchen I your world I am sure And for that, I AM thankfulI think there are very, very few people on here who give you any credibility on dz.com. And Zimmerman put himself in this position. He could have just not gotten involved and let buddy walk. He decided to get involved, which led to somebody getting killed. Lots of blame to go around, but Zimmerman certainly gets to shoulder some of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 893 #28 May 12, 2016 We have another thread for that dead horse, this is simply about a gun auction for a weapon that was used in a rather infamous case. Intentionally misrepresented and rudely worded insulting ad at that. This was not about the incident in any way. It was simply Rush taking advantage of the open door and inputting his garbage without even reading what this thread was about. How does one discuss something they admit to knowing nothing of it?

SkyDekker 1,465 #29 May 12, 2016 QuoteThink the point Rush is trying to make here is that the shooting never should have received national attention and just been dealt with by the local authorities. Maybe if you as a country can figure out how to be significantly less racist, a shooting like this would not get the same attention. But that is just my opinion. Remains that Zimmerman has enough blame to shoulder for the situation he found himself. He himself could have made sure he was not in a situation where he had to kill somebody. He went looking for trouble. You then don't get to complain when trouble finds you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,587 #30 May 12, 2016 It was the characterization of young George as anything other than the fine young vigilanto-American that he is that set him off. In his heart, he decried the ad as a little tasteless (since he didn't in the thread, other than where he declared that he'd already acknowledged it as possibly tasteless).

Likely because Rush would very much support the reasons for selling: 1. Raise money to fight BLM violence against LEO 2.

That's the whole point. This was never a race issue. The only reason it was given national attention was because it was "sold" as one. As stated above, had this issue just been handled by local authorities, no one would know or care who either of them are and this auction would never have been attempted.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Some will say because those race-baiters need to make money. Some will say because there really is a large race issue in the US that simmers over from time to time.

normiss 893 #40 May 12, 2016 Not a fair accusation - not a single one of those cases panned out. If you had a nationally known target pissing you off....call 911! He's trying to kill me! None have been prosecuted. I'm sure a guy with his situation has a real easy time finding quality ladies. I'll refrain from subjective names as I don't know him.

SkyDekker 1,465 #42 May 12, 2016 Your much-vaunted War on Drugs was for a large part started to go after your black population. That is just one example of rampant racism in the US. Of course you are free to think the racism in the US is just perceived and not real. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,587 #43 May 12, 2016 I find it interesting that the "persecution" of George Zimmerman is an excuse for his later demonstrated bad acts. However, the "persecution" of black people (just look at all the threads about hoodies, and about how they are scary, and less of everything desirable) doesn't excuse anything.

skycop 0 #45 May 12, 2016 I think it's safe to say, beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman is a douchebag. I think it's apparent he is a wanna-be of the highest magnitude, but this recent action goes well beyond bad taste. It's like spiking a football after scoring a TD..............when you're down 56-0. Regardless of what did or didn't happen to George Zimmerman, it was a painful event, and any normal person would want to move on. What kind of a sick fuck would want that gun anyway?

It's not excusing his bad acts (though offers a decent explanation), but the publicity they garner. Of course that could have been the point of the sale to begin with. Increase publicity/donations for security costs so has to play "the monster" to make enough to protect himself from those that think he is.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

yoink 321 #47 May 12, 2016 I'm glad some people get the point. Why he's selling it. What happened to get it to the point of being sold. What he's doing with the money - none of that changes my opinion that it's the WAY he's trying to sell it that makes him scum. This is a guy who shot a kid, and is now trying to make out that the weapon itself is a national treasure. He's lying about established museums being interested in it... If it will help Rush focus, I'll happily amend the thread title to: "If you need proof that George Zimmerman is scum..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
