"goons" (not -----) which is a "term of endearment" according to Zimmerman's best friend

...and I haven't heard that word since the late fifties, early sixties!

Thing is, all that might make some intrepid Jimmy Olsen or Lois Lane want to do is run around and ask people if Georgie was an habitual user of that word, or if he used that OTHER word, you know, the one that is the last syllable of the term that describes those bandit-faced furry creatures that knock over the garbage cans in some environments?

Twisted explanations almost never cut it!



He doesn't look like he's buying it, either!

I'm not buying this latest spin.

by racist assholes. Some people seem to think that term is obsolete and is no longer used when referring to people with dark skin. That is not true.

And really, why would anyone call 911 and mutter a "term of endearment" about the person one is pursuing to the 911 operator, right before they shot the person?

"Yeah I'm following this 'just adorable little muffin-faced sweetheart'..." BOOM!

Too bad there are so many 911 calls that illustrate his bias.

Talk about absurd! I about threw up on that one.

They are apparently missing out on the all important "Fucking goon" sentiment.

Maybe someone can pick a day in, say, August or some other low-card-sending-month to celebrate this term of endearment in a more formal manner.

make sure and say: "You know I love you, you fucking goon."

for Fucking Goon Day. That way, they will know you really, really mean it.

Another year has passed.
It's time to sing that tune.
Happy birthday to you,
My friend, my pal, my goon.

or not?

he meant to say "Blah"-people.

Even giving him this phrase instead of the more racially charged one, WHY would he use a "term of endearment" for someone he obviously thought was an "asshole who always gets away with it"? Or whatever the following phrase was. Not only is it a CYA move, it doesn't even make sense. At least not as a "term of endearment".

Trayvon? The dispatcher?


This is one of the most pitiful defenses I've seen in quite some time, and actually serves to further convince me that he did in fact say "coons"

Zimmerman used dehumanizing, racist language in his 911 tapes. It really matters not if it were coons/goons. He's still a racist. I'm betting there are other "terms of endearment" that Zimmerman has documented. I want to know what his online name was and where he posted. I sure hope they can locate his digital life because I'll bet this guy had lots of insight to share about blacks.

Yeah.

Since lots of people seem to hear that on the tape, and while it's an insult, it's not racial. He MUST have said "coons".

and that "fucking coons" is exactly what he said.

Hopefully the racist asshole Zimmermann will be arrested soon.

...now please explain how the term "fucking goons" is still a term of endearment??? Especially when it is uttered seconds before fatally shooting the person in question???

Puhleeze. This person is a fucking goon. And by that, I do not mean a term of endearment!

He just wanted to give him a hug and was unjustly attacked for it.

It all makes sense now

It was clearly a hard "C" sound. Can't find the link now.
