Zimmerman has no regrets "It was all God's plan."

The volunteer neighborhood watch leader spoke about details of the shooting, said he's sorry that Martin’s mother and father had to bury their child and, when asked if he regrets anything that happened that February night, he said, "No."
"I feel that it was all God's plan, and for me to second guess it or judge it," Zimmerman shook his head.

Sorry it's a Fox link but that's who did the interview. (Naturally.)

I think his lack of remorse even after knowing he was a teenager and unarmed says a lot about Zimmerman's character.

On edit: The link is from last year but I posted it because the jury heard an edited version today.

yeah...I found it very disturbing.


At the very least, I would have expected him to say he regretted that a young man died by his hand that night.

Normally I do not watch high profile trials this one is different. The flat affect no remorse will come into play.

I wonder if he believes God told him and his wife to commit fraud and transfer thousands of dollars into an offshore account?

I haven't gotten that far along yet watching the trial on YouTube. I'm still on yesterday at the moment. I may have to skip a bit to see this madness.

that is loving and cares about his 'children'; Not the Jesus Christ God; maybe the one from the old testiment; the vengefull god who loved to smite people and raise holy hell.

Anybody who does not accept responsibility for his own actions should not be out on the streets with a gun. Period.
