Zimmerman's Gun Auction - A "Piece of American History"

[Baruch]

There is no way to know that unless everyone beats the crap out of him.

We should test that, by having assholes regularly pummel him, and see if he uses a personal nuke next time ;-)

Killer then?  That covers Murder 1 thru Manslaughter 3.  And clearly since Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman, he isn't innocent either.  Two stupid guys.

Yes. Trayvon Martin is dead and Zimmerman doesn't deny killing him, so he certainly is a killer.

Shooting someone generally falls into that range of "a lot more".

Shooting someone and taking a life is not illegal in the United States of America. I understand you never wanted to get into the details of the case, and neither did I, so I will bow out now as well. It's just that when a truth claim is made in the OP that can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, people are bound to point out that you are making a claim that can't sufficiently be shown to be true with the evidence we have at our disposal. If you had just called Zimmerman a scumbag or something, I don't think anyone would have objected. Zimmerman certainly seems to be a scumbag.

Good for Zimmerman. The shooting was justified and this gun is only a "piece of American history" because of the dumbass corporate media that was obsessed with this non-story. Zim may as well take advantage of the stupid shit the media spews by making himself some money. And no, Treyvon's family doesn't need a dime of it. They've gotten plenty of big donations. They will be fine.

I have to agree with FIF on this one.   

Zimmerman should have stayed in his car as instructed by the police.  He didn't.  Dumbass move #1.  Zimmerman should not have approached or questioned Martin.  He did.  Dumbass move #2.  The physical evidence supports Zimmerman's version of the subsequent altercation (he was getting his ass kicked); final equation: getting his head bashed on the concrete.   Die or shoot. 

Did Zim precipitate the incident?  Hell yea!  I still can't believe he was never charged with anything pertaining to the incident causation.   Zimmmerman is still a dumbass; it was easily predictable that selling the gun, based on it's notoriety would turn into a circus.  Still it's his; he can sell it if he wants to and spend the proceeds as he sees fit. 

Maybe Zimmerman, John Bobbit, and Tonya Harding could start a post incident losers club?    Do the talk show, and casino circuits.

Nothing is illegal in America, if you have the right lawyer ;-)

Good thing I don't believe in justice or any legal system at all ... thugs with or without badges.

I had neutral feelings about the case then, and skewer me if you want to, I have neutral feelings about it now. That being said, Zimmerman has shown himself to be a piece of shit. I use to feel sorry for the man, no more.
