George Zimmerman Speeding, Pulled Over With Gun In Car

[TrogL]

Source: Huffington Post/TMZ

Less than a month after being acquitted of second-degree murder charges related to his killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was reportedly caught speeding Wednesday, with a gun in the glove compartment of his vehicle. The incident took place in the town of Forney, Tex., TMZ reports.

Zimmerman, who informed police that the weapon was in the car shortly after being pulled over, was asked where he was going, to which he responded, "nowhere in particular," according to the site.

This cannot end well

[gordianot]

1. Give it time my bet is on domestic abuse.

[Divine Discontent]

60. my bet is that some rich TX tycoon offered him $50K to drive out to be their guest for a party

because it's odd he said nowhere in particular to the patrolman. very odd. most people out of state would say where they were heading! in state, sure, you could say that you were just driving to relax and not have it seem odd. being 1000+ mi from home and he tells the cop he's carrying, and he doesn't know where he's going? you'd think the patrolman would ask if he's alright!

[GreenStormCloud]

108. He was not under any obligation to tell the officer where he was going.

"Nowhere in particular" is a polite way of saying that he doesn't want to say where he is going. He isn't stupid. He know about dashcams and knew that a video of the stop would soon be all over the internet. He didn't want the rest of the world to know his destination.

[Electric Monk]

115. I love how you're so consistent when it comes to guns and gun culture. ie. Can do nothing wrong.

You make me ill.

[GreenStormCloud]

126. Please tell me what laws he broke in this incident, besides minor speeding.

[michreject]

135. I love how you're so consistent when it comes to anti guns and gun culture. ie Can do nothing right

You make me ill.

[GreenStormCloud]

141. Your anger does not change the law.

In fact, if a law were to be enacted that required you to tell a cop where you were going, if asked, I think you would object to it. There is no obligation to tell a cop where you are going to.

[michreject]

169. Reread

I was mocking EM with his own words.

[GreenStormCloud]

176. Thanks for the clarification.

I missread who you were responding to.

[denverbill]

2. My guess: Arizona, to join the volunteer Border Patrol!

[another_liberal]

8. Damn right!

That sure does sound like a good guess.

[yurbud]

121. so his white half can shoot his latino half

[Treant]

3. I'm sure he was speeding

because somebody, somewhere, needed assistance being released from a crashed car.

The gun? Just in case the person in need of assistance was black, of course.

[mwrguy]

4. He's in a big hurry to murder another child

[onehandle]

5. I was with group of people last night and Zimmerman came up.

The consensus was that he will end up being killed during a 'misunderstanding,' or in a fit of paranoia, will kill a girl scout knocking on his door, and get what he deserves, prison.

[perdita9]

22. Okay, but then what does the victim get?

[alsame]

6. He hunting again. nt

[Xipe Totec]

7. Good thing he didn't have Skittles on him. Otherwise he would have been in trouble nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. Skittles would have kicked his ass!

[Maeve]

80. Damn it! Beat me to it!!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

81. Someone had to do it!

[Skittles]

103. I would KICK HIS COWARD ASS

AND I WOULD NOT NEED A GUN TO DO IT

[greatauntoftriplets]

104. I knew it!

[Kennah]

122. Skittles would forego kicking my ass to kick Zimmerman's ass

Me, I'd hold Zimmerman for Skittles and risk a Skittles ass kicking.

[chemenger]

161. I'd like a front row seat if you'll planning to sell tickets

[olddots]

9. Zimmerman is a wimpy slime ball

I'd check the source of the story but I have problems with huff po .

[Skittles]

105. there's police dashcam video

[reformist2]

10. Probably was racing to McDonald's before it closed for the night.

[Blue Owl]

11. He's going nowhere fast

n/t

[maindawg]

12. inability to tell the truth

pathological lier. He was in a hurry to go somewhere.
Fate has this guys number.

[Iggo]

13. "Out hunting black kids, Officer..."

"...um...er...uh...I mean...nowhere in particular, Officer."

[olddad56]

64. It is Texas, the cop would have just told him 'good luck'.

[FloriTexan]

74. It was Texas and they did, basically....

If you have a CHL in Texas you allegedly will get lots of passes when pulled over. I think every LEO that pulls you over in Texas asks you the same thing..."Where are you going." In sum, its none of their business and Zimmerman may have been told that is what you say..."no where imparticular." If you are a CHL holder you have to tell the LEO that you are armed.

[tofuandbeer]

14. Good lord! The comments on this CBS news link to the same story (below) are very disturbing...

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/07/31/george-zimmerman-stopped-for-speeding-in-north-texas/

[hrmjustin]

15. He got no ticket for speeding. Why?

[loli phabay]

30. officer discretion, in a lot of areas not many tickets are given out

As vehicles are pulled over using speed as a pretext to talk to the driver and have a looksie, especially if you are only five or so over.

[jobycom]

38. Honestly, in Forney, probably because they didn't want the publicity.

If he was just passing through, the cops were probably happy to see his taillights. It's not even about what he did, just that they wouldn't want the media attention.

[tofuandbeer]

16. And the officer let him off with a warning.

When's the last time anyone here was let off with a warning for speeding?

[GeorgeGist]

25. About 3 years ago in Minnesota.

[former9thward]

34. The only time I was ever stopped for speeding I got a warning.

[reformist2]

37. I did once, because I couldn't find my registration! The policeman laughed at me.

[DhhD]

40. Giving a ticket is a form of the county providing rehabilitation. You pay the ticket or there is a

warrant out for your arrest. What county wants to take on such a responsibility. Send him down the road to some other jurisdiction before he shots somebody or causes a shooting in Kauffman County.

[tofuandbeer]

116. +1

[hack89]

41. I have more warnings than tickets

cops around here are more concerned with slowing down traffic than revenue.

[Skeeter Barnes]

43. My friend and I were clocked "in excess of 100mph" on our motorcycles

in another county east of where I live. They let us go with a warning.

[tabasco]

54. Dumbasses lucky they didn't hurt somebody.

Yeah, rock on.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

79. We all do stupid stuff when we're young

Unfortunately people do get hurt....I think the cops were more stupid than the riders!!!!!!!

[tabasco]

146. When I was young and wanted fun and adventure

I joined the Army and became an Airborne Ranger.

As stupid as that was, I never drove 100mph on a public highway in the U.S.

I see way too many stupid motherfuckers endangering my life and the lives of others by driving crazy on public roads. Being young is no excuse. Generally, I hope the assholes wrap themselves around utility poles.

[snooper2]

182. Give me the fucking phone, go go!

&feature=related

[Agschmid]

183. Everything about that was wrong.

[tofuandbeer]

185. That was insane.

[Hippo_Tron]

51. Not counting university cops, I've been pulled over for speeding 3 times

One time a warning, one time a ticket, and one time a field sobriety test that resulted in neither an arrest nor a speeding ticket. I'm assuming in the third case that they felt they had punished me sufficiently by scaring the living shit out of me.

[Daemonaquila]

55. A month ago.

In rural Texas.

My husband has gotten 3 warnings in the past 3-4 years. It's pretty common in our area. Some of the sheriffs around here are actually more motivated by safety than cash. The county seat cops, though...

[Bay Boy]

57. Me a month ago...

...65 in a 45. CPL holder but not carrying at the time. Very polite deputy.

[lynne]

63. Twice for me, both times in Virginia -

- although it's been quite a few years ago.

[Sunlei]

139. road trip to visit the perry painted rock shrine.

[Shrek]

69. October of 2011 n/t

[obxhead]

72. about 5 weeks ago.

I was in a 25 zone that had the "additional $200 fine" signs posted too. He had me at 35 or so as well.

It does happen.

[Politicub]

75. Never

I think I've been pulled over 5-6 times over 25 years of driving.

[Janecita]

83. 99% of the time

Because I'm pretty A Newark cop did give me a speeding ticket once though!

[Ash_F]

87. I've never speed. Never got a warning for things like taillights though.

One time an officer wrote me a ticket for a burnt license plate light that I didn't know about.

I live in Texas.

I am not White.

[Ash_F]

89. Also wow at the other responses to this post.

It's like you folks get to live in a different America!

At least try to slow down for others safety, even if you don't have to worry about the consequences of a ticket.

[noiretextatique]

130. i agree...it is a different world for people who are not white

Warning my ass. I have been targeted and ticketed many times.

[24601]

175. You mean like hispanics who are only 1/2 white.

[noiretextatique]

187. only if they murdered a black teenager

[SammyWinstonJack]

93. I was. In Texas. By a DPS officer on I-10W just past Ft Stockton. Let off with a warning to slow

down.

Had two tired and fighting kids in the car with me, driving from PA. to CA.

Think he felt sorry for me.

[goldent]

99. I'm about 50/50 on warning vs ticket nt

[GreenStormCloud]

109. A few weeks ago. I was doing between 5 ot 10 over in a 45. N/T

[Llewlladdwr]

113. Last year while driving home from the Rio Grande Valley.

It was about 10:45 pm and the speed limit had changed from 70 to 55 and I missed the sign. The officer must have figured I was telling the truth when I said I didn't realize the speed limit had dropped because he told me to keep an eye on the posted speed limit and let me go.

[tofuandbeer]

117. Sounds like a speed trap. :) Lucky!

[Fearless]

118. To be fair two of the three times I was pulled over it was a warning.

And frankly had I said the right thing, the other would've been too.

[tofuandbeer]

120. I stand overly corrected. :) ...

I probably should have asked if anyone in Southern California ever gets a break for speeding.
I've had a few speeding tickets, and have learned my lesson: it 'aint worth it.

[Kennah]

123. I got a verbal warning when I ran a red light. Cop was coming the other way.

He was chuckling when he walked up to the car. Saw me shaking my head. Tried to contain himself, snorted, and said, "That coulda been bad."

[Pelican]

124. Last 7 out of 8 times for me...

Damn you VA highway patrol! Ruined my record...

[Samurai_Writer]

149. Last October, in the Texas Panhandle

Was driving through some little town before sunlight, around 5 am. Cop pulls me over. I give him my state employee ID instead of my driver's license by mistake. He looks at it, says, "You're a nurse, huh?" I tell him I work at the state psychiatric hospital in Colorado. He responds, "I used to work at one of those, too. Rough job. Slow down, and have a nice day."

[Blue_Tires]

184. Never for me...

But then I've never known any non-celeb black folk to get ever "warnings"...

[Stuckinthebush]

17. It's Texas

The cop probably said, "Well you have a great day, Mr. Zimmerman. Slow it down, now."

[heaven05]

42. and

don't forget, "and we love you here, mr. zimmerman", aka zimPIG.

[Llewlladdwr]

114. Sweeto! Nothing like a little gratuitous Texas Bashing.

Hope you feel better about yourself now.

[heaven05]

136. ohhhh!

I DO. Just as bad as fla. if not worse if that possible?!?! Florida, Alabama, Texas should try it again and secede with as many other drags on amerikkkan culture and civilization as possible. Southern States for Racism and Bigotry, SSRB, beats the hell out of CSA. Don't you think? SSRB? Has a ring to it.

[Paladin]

140. Yeah, because Ann Arbor, Michigan is a paradise of racial tranquility.

Just because region-trashing is tolerated on DU, doesn't make it right.

[heaven05]

142. Yeah

yeah, yeah, yeah. geez. No Ann Arbor isn't. It's an academic paradise for some, for others it's a subtle picture of amerikkkan culture. But then again, Michigan always has been a more subtle form of racist amerikkkan culture that the SSRB have always had out in the open. At least the SSRB is up front, not smiling in your face and muttering racial epithets under their breath as they walk away. Your point is well taken. I'm not just region aware.

[snooper2]

145. We don't start drinking till noon round here

[heaven05]

154. lol

back atcha

[Lithos]

18. Needed some more skittles

While he was probably on his way to Garland or some place similar, it is rather interesting in that Forney is well known for having a very active KKK group(s).

L-

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

20. What a.....

.....DICK!!!

[DainBramaged]

21. If it doesn' end well for this douche bag I will not feel sorry for him

[uhnope]

23. just another psycho

on the American landscape, except for his well-known name

[Turbineguy]

24. But Officer.....

I'm on my way to get filmed rescueing a kitten, a puppy and a really cute baby!

[Contrary1]

26. It's a shame this incident made the news...

It shouldn't have. Zimmerman is no doubt loving all the attention.

[AngryOldDem]

27. Out trolling for "those people" again, most likely.

Folks, don't let your babies go outside with hoodies, Skittles, and Arizona Tea -- big bad George is back in town.

He'll be back in court before the year is out, I'd make book on that.

[UglyGreed]

85. sung to the tune

of Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys....

[senseandsensibility]

28. Verbal warning for Zimmy.

No ticket. Quelle Surprise.

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. He's going to end up dead.

Just watch.

[DeSwiss]

31. ''nowhere in particular''

- I see he's back on patrol......

K&R

[TrogL]

32. OK, so he's going nowhere in particular going really fast

Is that related to "we're totally lost, but we're making great time"?

[DeSwiss]

36. And an ancillary of:

''This hole is getting deeper, maybe we should stop digging.''

[heaven05]

46. they

were/still are favorites of mine. I loved those two. Still have their books of comics.

[Liberal Veteran]

33. Probably patrolling the streets looking for an accident to "rescue" someone from.

[KansDem]

48. I thought the same thing!

He must have just got a tip on another overturned SUV...

[awoke_in_2003]

35. No one voluntarily goes to Forney, TX. nt

[DhhD]

49. Interstate 30 runs on the north side of Forney. Then on west to Dallas I-30 merges with Interstate

20 on the west side of Fort Worth.

[awoke_in_2003]

71. Forgot about that...

the only thing I really remember of Forney is the stench from the paper mill.

[snooper2]

147. My friend Mike and I used to go to some shithole dive bar in Forney right off highway

We would get hit on by the blue hairs in there...

It was a fucking riot LOL

[Laurian]

39. This creep doesn't think any rules or laws apply to him.

Karma's waiting.......

[Zoeisright]

174. Karma is taking a damn long time.

[frylock]

44. he should hire casey anthony as a consultant on staying out of the public eye..

it's been little over a fortnight since his acquittal, and this guy has made the news twice.

[SansACause]

45. His wife's perjury trial is next month

His wife's perjury hearing is next month, so I'm sure he'll be in the news a lot.

[DallasNE]

47. They Gave Him A Warning Ticket For Speeding And Sent Him On His Way

I have never been issued a warning ticket in my life. My 3 speeding tickets were all for going 7 mph over the speed limit.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/07/31/george-zimmerman-stopped-for-speeding-in-north-texas/

[Pelican]

125. Maybe you need help interacting with the police...

It's 99% personality...

[They_Live]

181. "these aren't the droids you're looking for..."

Yep. It works.

[sweetapogee]

128. the last time

i got pulled over was about 4 years ago in downtown Boston. I'm from PA, driving my MB with my two kids and two of their friends. Got nabbed at an actual trap with about 10 motorcycle cops who were pulling over cars left and right.

Think about it, out of state and in a Benz, if that doesn't scream I can pay the ticket then nothing does. But all I got was a written warning. I think it's all in how you act and maybe/possibly the fact that I was wearing a Fire Dept (golf style) shirt and have a CDL. But still, no ticket when clearly I deserved one.

[Daemonaquila]

50. *Facepalm*

This is so not going to end well. He's too arrogant to count his lucky stars and keep his head down. I just hope it doesn't end with the death of another innocent.

53. Here's Forney, Texas on a map, for those who are unfamiliar with it:

[center]

[/center]

[kentauros]

134. I live here and was unfamiliar with it!

However, there's a great go-to site to look up place-names in Texas, and here's the entry for Forney, formerly named Brooklyn, Texas:

Forney, TX

Forney is on U.S. Highway 80, the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Buffalo Creek, and Mustang Creek, twenty-three miles east of Dallas in northwestern Kaufman County. When the earliest settlers arrived and established a community in this area they found a broad expanse of fertile blackland prairie covered with grass. By 1870 several of these settlers, including John C. McKellar, who established the first general store in the settlement, were calling their town Brooklyn, reportedly because several springs flowed together to form a brook nearby. Soon after McKellar's store was opened, a saloon and a blacksmith shop began operation in Brooklyn.

The citizens applied for a post office in 1873, but it was discovered that there was a Brooklyn in Shelby County. That same year the promoters of the Texas and Pacific Railway, having failed to interest the residents of either the county seat, Kaufman, or Cedar Grove in the rail line, chose to build between these communities and through the Brooklyn settlement. In honor of the railroad and in hopes of winning federal approval for the local post office, the residents of Brooklyn renamed their community Forney, on December 29, 1873, after the Pennsylvania journalist, politician, and member of the board of directors of the T&P line, John Wien Forney, then employed as a civil engineer to direct the Texas and Pacific in the area. Forney was officially incorporated in 1884, and soon afterward a mayor-alderman form of local government was established.

The railroad and fertile soil attracted settlers to Forney after 1873, and the town grew as a farm center and residential community. The population increased slowly for the next century, to more than 3,000 residents by 1960. The surrounding land is used as ranchland and for the production of cotton, corn, grain, and onions. Although situated in a predominantly agricultural area, Forney has been a small manufacturing community since 1936. Its factories have produced such goods as cottonseed oil, ice, athletic supplies, paper products, and plastics. In 1964 Forney Reservoir was constructed on the East Fork of the Trinity River four miles north of Forney. The reservoir, impounded to provide water for Dallas, was later renamed Lake Ray Hubbard.

The population of Forney in 1980 was 2,483. The increase was partly a result of the growth of Dallas. Three local manufacturers produced plastics, recycled-paper products, and insulation products. The Forney Messenger, first published in 1881, continued to serve as the community's weekly newspaper. Forney's first public school was built in 1874. A black school opened in 1890, and Forney Academy, a private coeducational school, was established by 1894. Just north of the town, along Highway 80, are located some fifteen warehouses that sell antiques and antique reproductions. In 1990 the population was 4,070, and in 2000 it was 5,588.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. He needs a ticket just for being an idiot.

BTW: What's he doing driving around alone?

[Bay Boy]

58. Why do you ask that?

Did you think he would have a body guard?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

62. I would think he would have people looking out for his image.

Aimless driving at night with a gun is just stupid.

[Bay Boy]

65. Aimless driving at night...

...with or without a legally owned gun is a right I support.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

66. Me too, as long as there's no speeding.

[Bay Boy]

70. And if you do speed expect to

be pulled over. And consider yourself lucky if you get off with a warning.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

73. Frankly, I bet the cops didn't want the headache.

[tofuandbeer]

107. Excellent point. I didn't think about that.

[LanternWaste]

189. Especially if you've killed a juvenile, and your wife is awaiting trial on perjury charges.

"And consider yourself lucky if you get off with a warning..."

Especially if you've killed a juvenile, and your wife is awaiting trial on perjury charges...

[GreenStormCloud]

110. It happened in the daytime. N/T

[Spitfire of ATJ]

155. The dashcam is out now.

[Judi Lynn]

95. He's proven African American people aren't safe when Zimmerman takes a spin.

There should be a requirement he notifies the local constabulary when he'll be leaving his house, so they can set off the air raid siren to help those without arms to get off the streets.

The officials owe the public that much, now that we know about him.

[Travis_0004]

61. You guys are obsessed with zimmerman.

Why a story about him speeding, needs to be posted multiple times, I don't know.

I'm not even sure why it made the news.

[MNBrewer]

67. It's ZDS.

[darkangel218]

78. And other people are obsessed with us being obsessed.

....

[Spitfire of ATJ]

97. The media wants him murdered by a black guy so white people will feel their fear is justified.

[tanyev]

68. Sounds like he doesn't need any fundraising to buy another gun.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

76. Answering "nowhere in particular "

When you're more than a 1000miles from home wouldn't be good enough in a lot of cases...bit Suss George ! He's a nut bag with a gun...bad combination.

[darkangel218]

77. Wtf was he doing in TX??

Was he hoping to take advantage of the " shoot anyone who steals from you after midnight"??

[TrogL]

92. Wait, does he even have a gun permit for Texas? I thought they were a state thing

[darkangel218]

100. Probably/most likely not.

Don't forget, TX is a gun freak state. I dont even know if you need a permit there.

[GreenStormCloud]

111. Reciprocity. TX honors the gun permits of many states, including FL.

Further, in TX you don't need a permit to have a gun in the car, as long as the gun is concealed.

[wordpix]

168. driving from FL to "Nowhereinparticular," TX with a gun - meeting with a RW militia maybe?

I am really wondering what Zimmerman was up to

[Harmony Blue]

82. There is no happy ending if this guy continues

his shenanigans.

[JDPriestly]

84. It won't. One angry dude. That's Zimmerman. He is mentally unstable in my opinion.

[underthematrix]

106. I agree with you. He seems mentally ill.

[PatrynXX]

86. once a guy gets away with murder

he feels he's some sort of super hero. so 150 mph or whatever he's a flying. just waiting till he accidentally kills someone else. That'll have to rest with the Jury who let him out.

[Kingofalldems]

88. Zimmy a hero to gun fanciers

He also saved a family during a car accident.

[noiretextatique]

133. i do not understand why

Some consider him a hero or admirable in any way. The coward killed an unarmed teenager and claimed he did it in self-defense?! If he was so tough, why did he need a loaded gun? I cannot understand the support for him...thank goodness.

[spin]

163. A high percentage of gun owners including myself do not view him as a hero. ...

That includes many people that I know who live in Florida and have a carry permit. Most of us think he was and is a cop wannabe.

[noiretextatique]

188. i know, but thanks for the reminder

i think it is pretty clear who supports him, and i don't think all of them own guns.

[ms liberty]

90. And he asked the cop if he recognized him ...

Trying to trade on his 15 minutes of fame, no doubt. He's going to get his at some point.

[HockeyMom]

91. Texas can KEEP him

Who wants him in Florida? Certainly, not me.

[Paladin]

132. The overwhelming majority of Texans don't WANT him.

Contrary to the usual comments from the usual DU Texas Bashers, people who get away with killing children aren't popular, here. My sincere hope is that Zimmerman's national tour has taken him elsewhere---California, for instance.......

[HockeyMom]

156. He cannot bring his gun into California

So doubt he would go there.

[Paladin]

162. My, my, my. Aren't you an optimist. (nt)

[Botany]

94. Zimmerman is gonna get a Darwin award sometime very soon

He will not change his pattern of behavior and one or more of the following things
will happen to him; He will end up dead, he will end up in jail, and or he will end up in
the hospital.

I know that the chances are slim but I wish the DoJ could get him on something.

[tblue37]

96. Just cruisin' around, lookin' for some of those

suspicious lookin' punks, to make sure they don't "get away."

[darkangel218]

101. OMG this just made me sick to my stomach.

I know those are Zimmys words and not yours, but its fucking sickening.

[rocktivity]

98. Part of responsible gun ownership is finding out beforehand

where and how you can or can't carry or travel with one.


rocktivity

[lynne]

137. Do you think he was aware it was legal to have the gun in TX beforehand -

- or that he just got lucky in that state? He wasn't in violation of any Texas gun laws.

"Texas state law allows a person to carry a gun in a vehicle as long as it is not in plain view. Brian Brooks, city manager of Forney, told Reuters that it is routine for police to ask drivers if a gun is in the car."

143. Probably. Reciprocity maps are easy to find on the internet. N/T

[spin]

164. Of course. The info on state gun laws is available on the internet ...

and books are published on this subject.

190. And who you may kill one with with minimal consequences. A very responsible man indeed...

"where and how you can or can't carry or travel with one..."

And who you may kill one with with minimal consequences. A very responsible man indeed...

[Skittles]

102. he's a scum sucking paranoid COWARD

[Wolf Frankula]

112. Playing TV Cop Again.

He would have had an out of state plate. Surprised they didn't arrest him.

Wolf

[GreenStormCloud]

127. You don't get arrested for speeding. N/T

[noiretextatique]

131. you can be arrested for speeding eom

[Warren Stupidity]

129. American hero.

No not that ass monkey Zimmerman. Bradley Manning.

[Soylent Brice]

138. sigh

[librechik]

144. Zimmerman accidental death/suicide/capitol felony watch sub thread here

I'd feel like killing myself somehow if I were Zimmerman, too.
I bet sometime this year.

[JustAnotherGen]

153. Doesn't even have to be

A deliberate suicide. People kill themselves cleaning their guns. It's not like anyone would expect me to be upset/crying all 'liberal and emotional' over the human condition of death.

But I can name a poster or two that will boo hoo all over the place if it happens and I intend to remind those two to . . .

Ya know. Don't be so emotional. Man up why doncha?

[librechik]

158. a Freudian slip of the Smith & Wesson variety.

not wishing it on him, just an observation that it's likely to happen, sadly.

[coeur_de_lion]

148. Texas can have him -- perfect for each other

And they have the death penalty there.

Glad he's not in FL anymore.

[wordpix]

150. this is the court's fault - they gave him back his gun after he murdered Trayvon

At the very least, they should have told him he could never use a firearm again, not to mention charged him with 2nd degree murder. But in FL, no penalty for murder with a firearm.

[GreenStormCloud]

157. The jury found him "Not Guilty".

At that point, he retains ALL of his rights. Due process, ya' know. The judge can't place any restrictions on him.

[spin]

165. There is definitely a penalty for murder with a firearm in Florida but first ..

you have to be found guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

[wordpix]

167. I realize he was found not guilty, just saying I hold the court accountable

for his driving around "nowhere in particular" speeding "nowhere" with a gun in his car. And the cop is so sweet and nice to him, you could just about choke on the ton of sugar being served up.

[GreenStormCloud]

177. The judge can not impose any restrictions when the verdict is "Not Guilty".

For the judge to tell him he could not have a gun would be a violation of Zimmerman's civil rights, specifically the right of "due process".

[Dreamer Tatum]

171. That would require a guilty verdict from the court

not you.

[yesphan]

151. Next time

I get pulled over for speeding or any violation for that matter, I'm asking the officer or patrolman, " How about giving me a Zimmerman"?

[GreenStormCloud]

159. Being a smart alex to an LEO is ALWAYS a dumb idea. N/T

[yesphan]

160. True,

true indeed. I've found that being obsequious to them is the best policy.

[spin]

166. Act polite and you have a better chance of getting a warning than if you act like ...

an asshole.

It doesn't always work. A lot depends on the cop and how close it is to the end of the month.

[Dreamer Tatum]

170. make sure your colon and bladder are empty first

I hear a taser makes you evacuate pretty quickly.

[yesphan]

172. Oh Yeah !

[Zoeisright]

173. So apparently he doesn't obey ANY laws.

What a complete asshole prick.

[panzerfaust]

179. Having had a taste, how long will it be before Georgie kills again?

[Hubert Flottz]

180. He was in "Hot Pursuit."

Again. He got away with murder, so he thinks it's okay now?

[madfloridian]

186. Kick

And recced.
