George Zimmerman tells court he's $2.5 million in debt, has no income




George Zimmerman has $2.5 million in debt and no income, according to paperwork in his misdemeanor stalking case.

The details of Zimmerman’s finances were filed in Seminole County court in support of a request for Zimmerman to be represented by the Public Defender’s Office, which has since been granted.

Zimmerman is now being represented by Public Defender Blaise Trettis, records show, whose office filed a not-guilty plea and a request for a jury trial on his behalf, both typical steps in criminal cases.

Zimmerman was slated to appear in court for an arraignment May 30, but his defense waived that proceeding, records show.

He is a marshmallow of a man. The white gangs might like him at first, but they will see his utter weakness and fear. Maybe they will protect him from the other gangs, but he will be a complete toadie to the white gangs.

I want this loser to see justice. Sooner, rather than later.

Between Dec. 16, 2017, and Christmas Day, the private investigator told deputies he got 55 phone calls, 67 text messages, 36 voicemails and 27 emails from Zimmerman, records show.

When the investigator asked him to stop, Zimmerman texted “NO!” and then “Pursue charges,” records show.

This is not the first time Zimmerman reportedly threatened to feed someone involved in the documentary series’ production to an alligator


The POS is cracking up.

Second, how the fuck does one borrow 2.5 million dollars in the first place, without a demonstrable income stream?

I gotta beg, borrow and steal 400 bucks for the extra class I need, and probably couldn't sign my own car note right now if I needed to (and I have 2 jobs) and this supergenius somehow borrows 2.5 million dollars, doesn't have anything to show for it and so needs tax dollars to cover his legal expenses?

My response to him before was to fuck off. Not gonna say what i think now...

and his income stream would be a potential book so I can see a lawyer taking that deal.

And they take the case on the off chance of getting paid, plus the exposure that it affords them.

But the debt accrues.

"Are there no prisons?"
"Plenty of prisons..."
"And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

He is an idiot - Deplorables would buy a book and he should have written one by now, with or without a ghostwriter.

He could appear on Fox, I am sure. Might even get his own show.

Their employers (whoever would employ those scumbags) have the now legal right to garnish their wages and prevent them from being able to sue. So whatever disposable income they once had is going to their boss's 10 figure bonus and they no longer can use it to support other racists and criminals. Thanks guys you voted for this!
