Get your bingo cards ready...Zimmerman at it again! Article is pretty one sided, but he did tweet a picture saying he was a "one man army" with a picture of a shot Travon Martin, which is in pretty poor taste.

Linkylinky

For a guy that whines about fearing for his life and having to go out in public in a bulletproof, he sure doesn't act like he fears for his life when he does this provocating gak.

I'm almost convinced he goes for the sob-story so gullible conservatives will set up a gofundme or whatever for him and give him a bucket of money.

No Factor in my life.

For those who need it:
Dakka Bingo Card

Heh, it's been a while since I've been able to check him off.

I knew this was about Zimmerman before I even looked past the titile,
Why can't he fade into obscurity

Are his tweets basically advertisement for a car audio shop?

Saw the title, immediately thought 'What has Zimmerman done to get into the news this time?'

Was disappointed. Was also not disappointed.

Somehow he's managed to find the sweet spot where I'm not disappointed because of how ridiculous the extremes he's willing to go to to gather attention for himself are. I am however disappointed at the fact that he's glorifying himself using a photo of an actual person's corpse. That gak is disgusting.

I do kinda feel sorry for him. His life got ruined by a media witchhunt over nothing. He can't be in a healthy mental state after he's been crucified the way he was. Anyone else would probably do similar things if they'd been treated the way he was.

Same, He was the result of the Nancy Grace style of journalism. Accuse, then require him to show evidence.
One thing to remember about the whole ordeal. the DA decided to not press charges at first, then national journalism pressured him too.
Why I hate the 24hr news cycle.

His best bet would probably be to move to a cabin in Alaska and become a self-sufficient prepper. Only way he'd probably ever get peace and quiet.

And a reality show.

Maybe he'll wind up on Celebrity Boxing with Danny Bonaduce and Donny Osmond. Oh, wait... they don't let you carry a gun in those.

So we have a story about Zimmerman, and a story about water on Mars. Is there...a connection?

If it weren't for the glowing turtle mentioned above I'd say no, no connection. But the glowing nuclear turtle..... there has to be something going on

The person you're fighting also wouldn't attack your "cracker ass" from a bush.

Quote is inadmissible as evidence. Everyone knows only white people can be racist.

This is quite sadly a prevailing thought in this day and age.

And wholly irrelevant given the only fighting technique our favorite dough boy knows is the fetal position.

What an odious human being.

Title edited - have I mentioned how much I don't like 'clickbait' style titles?

I definitely would not have clicked had I known...

Yes you would have. You would have clicked it so much that it shut down the internet.

Honestly I thought about putting the name or that it was good for Dakka Bingo but admittedly forgot, as excited as I was to share.

I'm always fascinated at how this guy seems to go out o his way to ensure he gets into some sort of trouble. Even if you want to give him a pass on the 2012 incident, the guy just oozes drama.

You know, I can't conceive of a level of bad treatment by the media that would make many people tweet a picture of the corpse of the man they killed. Because holy fething hell.

Zimmerman is just a really gak guy. It should be possible to recognise that no matter what you thought about the shooting.

He seems to be.

However, his life has been in a gakky place for several years, despite being acquitted. Pop psychology theory; he finds validation from the reactions that his public statements provoke, and comfort from the support he will get from some sections of public opinion.

"Zimmerdouchery"

I shall endeavor to use this in conversation.

Going to have to go with Sebbie on this one.

I'm ready to shoot the guy myself, on the grounds of being an insufferable public nuisance, at this point.

Settle down.
