This, folks, is Zimmy's latest foray into the art world...an attack on Special Prosecutor Angela Corey, the DA who charged him with second-degree murder. I love it when someone who hunts and kills a human being for no fucking reason passes judgment on someone else's respect for the law.

[JI7]

1. i hate this grotesque piece of fucking shit

[jmowreader]

74. The painting, George Zimmerman, or both?

"Both" is my answer.

[stg81]

2. he should be thanking her for the lame prosecution

[JI7]

4. that racist jury was not going to convict him, but hopefully this means he is

getting mostly negative reactions from the public.

[joeglow3]

8. The jury said they hated him and wanted to convict

The case presented to them was a pile of shit.

[JI7]

9. they did not say they hated him and the jury is full of shit

that first juror who came out was throwing out racist shit all over the place in that interview .

the case was not shit. the defense brought out the "armed with the sidewalk" bs and anyone who did'nt laugh at that fucking joke of a defense is a racist.

[joeglow3]

11. Every legal expert I saw on every network came to the same conclusion

[JI7]

19. the legal experts and media whores were whoring for zimmerman

but the media was able to see the jury reaction which nodded to all the racist shit the defense threw out.

[joeglow3]

21. So, it was some grand conspiracy that involved that many people

All across the country. And every media head and media host was in on it too?

[JI7]

23. no, it wasn't some conspiracy, it's just whores being whores as they usually are

[joeglow3]

42. Is there any media personality that is not a whore?

[Lost_Count]

59. Probably the ones who agree with her...

[kcr]

44. It's not some grand conspiracy that our media is lame

Because seriously, it is. It's not a hard sell to believe that a large percentage of the experts our media would invite would be shilling for a particular agenda.

[brush]

34. Agreed 1000%

Anyone with any sense of justice would have laughed at that "armed with the sidewalk"- put-the-dead-black-kind-on-trial ridiculousness as they voted to sentence that murderer to eternity under the jail.

That jury, even the one who said later she wanted to convict, apparently didn't have any sense of justice.

The one who "wanted to convict" was probably influenced by the one who said "Georgie" had a good heart. And we all know that that juror wanted the guilty verdict quick and fast so she and her husband could get to work on her book deal on trial.

3. And the pic he 'shopped is an AP photo of Corey announcing the murder charge in April 2012

Attorney Angela Corey, special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case, is seen in 2012 announcing that Zimmerman will be charged with second-degree murder. It's apparently an image he can't get over. Rick Wilson/AP

[joshcryer]

27. Oh my lord, the first thing I did was wonder if he did that crap.

And yep, he did it again. How the hell has he not been sued?

[former9thward]

48. Sued for what?

Making paintings?

[pinboy3niner]

55. That's not a painting

It's a photoshop doctoring an AP photo.

[former9thward]

57. Whatever it is it is not illegal.

AP has rights to the photo, nothing else. People do satire and photoshop on all sorts of stuff everyday. It is legal.

[FourScore]

65. Not so fast. I smell a lawsuit. Here's a harvard law review article of Fairey vs AP.

Fairey is the guy who came up with the "Hope" poster of Obama. He used an AP photo.

Resolution is on p. 268

[Ken Burch]

5. Did he paint that with ketchup and mustard? n/t.

[brush]

38. Zimmerman is NOT actually painting

He's using Photoshop filters to get those effects.

Photoshop has many filters you can use on images to create thousands of different looks.

What zimmy is doing takes no talent, just an entry-level knowledge of Photoshop.

He wouldn't know where to start if he went into an art store and had to buy supplies to paint with. He wouldn't know gesso from linseed oil from his murdering a-hole.

[Ken Burch]

78. I wonder if he started out by smearing paint on his screen? n/t.

[Scootaloo]

6. My measured response.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

7. +1

[Jamaal510]

12. At least

with photoshop, GZ found a hobby besides killing innocent people, I guess.

[El_Johns]

16. +1

[Egnever]

25. Awesome!

[joshcryer]

28. Please put this on eBay. You will make money.

edit: use his paint by color method obviously...

[Hoyt]

29. Absolutely perfect.

[pinboy3niner]

36. Well done, Scootaloo!

[Paladin]

46. Bravo and Encore! (nt)

[Throd]

56. So very true

[Voice for Peace]

62. VERY measured, I'd say. How much on eBay?

[cinnabonbon]

64. Now that is the kind of art I like

[flvegan]

10. So...what does this post say about your respect for the law?

"...someone who hunts and kills a human being for no fucking reason..."

According to the judicial system, that's not what happened, so...that's, um, YOU passing judgment.

[Bjorn Against]

14. Zimmerman passed judgment on Martin and killed him

Zimmerman's disgusting fan club treated Martin as guilty until proven innocent but every rational person knew that this was murder. Just because the NRA and ALEC created a piece of shit law to excuse that murder does not make it any more morally justified. Zimmerman and his supporters are pond scum that should be shunned in the same way the KKK is shunned because they are no better than the KKK, they are mostly racists and every last one of them is a murder supporter.

[flvegan]

15. Care to try again?

A little less emotion, now. We're talking facts, law and due process now. Grown-up stuff.

[Bjorn Against]

18. Here are the facts

Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black kid who was walking home from the store, moments earlier the killer said "these assholes always get away" and said he was following him. Then the kid ended up dead and a bunch of racist fucking assholes tried to excuse the murder and used a law crafted by right-wing extremists at the NRA and ALEC to do that.

I view Zimmerman supporters as the same type of racist murder enabling scum bags that join groups like the KKK and the Aryan Nations, if they don't like me calling them racist murder supporting scum then they should stop defending a piece of shit racist murderer.

The fact is that Zimmerman killed a person who posed him no threat, there is no defense and anyone who tries to defend it is in the same class of scum that tried to defend the murder of Emmitt Till.

[DrDan]

30. did you watch any of the trial?

I did - I live 30 minutes from Sanford so had a vested interest.

I watched all of the defense case. There were issues with each witness - and that was confirmed nightly by experts with real backgrounds in the law - lawyers, judges.

The jury obviously felt the same way. You can call them racist because they came to a different decision than you, but they were the ones chosen to make that decision. It's the lawyer's job to rid the jury of racists..

I have read many many of these threads here. I have yet to see a DUer support Z. What I have seen are mature (read grown-up) discussions/explanations based on our judicial system. Have there been and are there faults with it? Sure, but it's ours and it drives who is punished legally and who is not. Do you really not see the difference between supporting a defendant and supporting the judicial system?

[Bjorn Against]

35. Yes, I did watch that sham of a trial

Instead of trying Zimmerman they put Trayvon Martin on trial and judged him as guilty until proven innocent all while one of the jurors was working in the background to secure a book deal. It was a travesty of justice and I am not going to pretend otherwise just because some people tell me it is the "grown up" thing to do. I say what I think about the injustice and the people who cheered it, and yes there were people here supporting that Zimmerman shit bag. I am not going to call out individuals and get a post hidden, but most people here saw them. People who support Zimmerman are no better than the people who supported the Emmitt Till murder, they may not like me saying that but I am not going to be silent about my true feelings about them, they deserve to be shamed.

[brush]

40. WELL SAID! WELL SAID! nt

[hack89]

43. When the prosecution witnesses support Zimmerman's story

then you have a huge problem. It was a hard case because there were no eyewitnesses and the prosecution witnesses undermined the prosecutions case - the very definition of reasonable doubt

[Bettie]

52. Yes. It is the new way to win if you stalk and kill someone

Convince everyone that the victim was really at fault for his own murder.

Makes me sick.

And it is also weird to me how many fanboys and fangirls Zimmerman has, how he's some sort of vigilante super hero now.

[Vattel]

71. I think the jury came to the right decision.

That doesn't mean that Zimmerman isn't a murderer. I wasn't there and so I don't know what happened. But there was all kinds of reasonable doubt (IMHO).

[madville]

49. I thought they didn't use Stand Your Ground

As a defense? The defense argued under the regular self-defense that have been around forever because they had a much better chance of winning.

Stand your ground laws put the burden of proof on the accused while a regular self-defense defense puts it on the prosecution.

[Lost_Count]

58. Correct...

There was a thought that Zimmerman would bring it up again post-trial as it also provides civil immunity but it was left out of the case.

[truebluegreen]

60. They didn't use it per se

but it is now written into the definition of "self-defense" in Florida so they didn't have to. As I understand it.

[jmowreader]

17. "These assholes, they always get away"

"Are you following him?"

'Yeah.'

"We don't need you to do that."

[Th1onein]

26. Yeah, because the justice system is always right.

That's why we have never executed an innocent person in Texas.

[kcr]

45. Respect for the law doesn't mean you can't discuss its process

or have any opinions about anything that happens in the judicial system.

[Jenoch]

13. Does anyone know if Zimmerman was ever

actually paid, in USD, for that other painting that was auctioned off on eBay?

[Voice for Peace]

63. yep .. $100,099.99.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/12/george-zimmerman-painting-sells-for-100000/

[Jenoch]

73. I'm looking for confirmation that he actually was paid.

So fa, I have only read about the bidding, not that Zimmerman actually collected the cash.

[davidn3600]

20. Well...Corey isnt exactly that great either

This prosecutor has an endless amount of complaints against her. She has a reputation of hiding evidence and overcharging cases. An example is the Marissa Alexander case.

[sakabatou]

22. Shouldn't Zimmy pay the photographer for using the photo?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. What is with Zimmerman and G.W.Bush picking on paint and canvasses?

[raccoon]

31. Godwin's law! So did Der Fuehrer. Except AFAIK he did watercolors. nt

[jmowreader]

75. Der Fuehrer did fairly good watercolors

These are some of Hitler's paintings:









They've got kind of a Bob Ross feel to them.

[pinboy3niner]

32. It's an easel gig

[NCTraveler]

33. Not very impressed with Corey myself.

But she didn't chase down and kill an unarmed man you fucking asshole.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

39. Sure laugh now!

When our grandchildren are visiting the Louvre someday and the "Zimmerman Collection" is on display nobody will remember your shallow criticisms of his insightful artwork! The irony. The perspective. Pure genius!

The reality is that this is a scam so his wealthy backers can funnel large sums of money to him. We'd all be better off if they took to just leaving paper bags full of cash on his front steps, then we wouldn't have our eyes and sensibilities assaulted by this garbage .

[pinboy3niner]

41. Louvre Zimmerman alooooone!1!!

[Tree-Hugger]

50. .

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

67. Can't you picture the commercials now?

Hi, I'm Wayne LaPierre. When I'm not shilling for the gun industry, I enjoy fine art. Now you too can bring the work of one of the true masters of our time to your own home!

And that's not all. If you order now we'll throw in a second Zimmerman masterpiece for free. Just pay separate shipping and handling.

[pinboy3niner]

69. Slight extra charge for black felt

[Laxman]

54. Right After The Oil on Velvet Retrospective!

You're Insane!

Put that sense of humor to work on something productive!

[Beach Rat]

72. I think that this is the future of his artwork

Every Van Gough must Go!

[Paladin]

47. And a happy Friday to our resident Zimmerman backers.

I don't think there are as many of you as there used to be.

[kcr]

68. They'll come back when their latest hero

the guy who shot a texter in a movie theater goes on trial

[SCUBANOW]

51. Is anyone buying his stuff?

[Erose999]

53. I painted a better picture on my toilet paper after my morning constitutional.

[Shoulders of Giants]

61. I'm a terrible artist also.

Maybe it's time for me to quit my day job. I wanna make $100,000 a painting by painting terrible paintings also.

[Vattel]

70. He got Corey right.

[Blue Diadem]

76. AP is on it! AP is demanding the halt of the sale.
