George Zimmerman apologizes in interview with Sean Hannity

[Baitball Blogger]

Asked Wednesday night if he'd do anything differently the night he came face-to-face with Trayvon Martin and fatally shot the 17-year-old, Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman told a national television audience, no.

"I feel like it was all God's plans," he told Sean Hannity on Fox News in his first television interview since the shooting.

Zimmerman apologized again to Trayvon's parents, calling the shooting a tragedy.

"I would tell them that again I'm sorry. I don't have, my wife and I don't have any children. … I am sorry that they buried their child. I can't imagine what it must feel like, and I pray for them daily," he said.

[Initech]

17. Yeah WTF! Did God shoot first and ask questions later?

[chemenger]

32. Maybe it is God's plan ... to get this racist loser and bully off the streets

and into prison where he belongs before he kills someone (in self-defence ) again.

2. What a BS line! "I feel like it was all God's plans." What a BS line. n/t

[Raine1967]

3. GOD's PLAN?

Are you Flucking kidding me?

What a truly worthless human being.

Maybe that is gods plan -- to show us how terrible he really is.

(oh, and Fox too)

Guh. God didn't plan to Kill Travon ferkeeristsake.

[rrneck]

5. Well

fuck him and the blind bow legged goat he rode in on.

[Systematic Chaos]

27. Calling his wife that is an insult to blind bow-legged goats.

[freshwest]

6. Why the hell is this piece of excrement allowed to discuss a pending trial on television?

[RKP5637]

11. Yep, what a POS. Fox News + Sean Hannity + Zimmerman, what a combination. n/t

[freshwest]

16. A trifecta of _____.

[RKP5637]

[ecstatic]

8. He is truly delusional

Really?! You wouldn't do *anything* different, like mind your mf business, perhaps?! Not stereotype, perhaps?! You wouldn't even heed the 911 Operator's suggestion to not follow (STALK) Trayvon??? WTF?

[AnOhioan]

9. Oh, for shits sake......can't believe the gall of this guy

[GarroHorus]

10. So if you go to prison, is that "God's plan"

Funcking asswipe murderous bastard.

The DP is too good for your crime against humanity.

[uppityperson]

12. He would do NOTHING different? Nothing? Not try to defuse the situation but do everything the same?

W.T.F.

Go to hell zimmy.

[Quixote1818]

29. Not a smart answer at all! He fucked up. nt

[SoCalDem]

13. Not only is he nuts, but he has the world's worst lawyer...n/t

[SDjack]

14. Choreographed by his lawyer. The performance means nothing. nt

[freshwest]

20. To further taint the jury pool? I've never seen anything remotely close to this BS.

[Solomon]

21. Au contraire. He gave up tons of impeachment

material for the prosecutors. They'll definitely be looking at the tape for gems to use.

That interview was outrageous. If i was the judge, I'd be livid about it. Hannity did most of the "testifying", but Zimmerman more than hung himself here.

Zimmy doesn't know it yet but his lawyer wants to plead him. The purpose of the interview was to raise money. Lawyer's going to be paid. As a former criminal defense attorney, I can't imagine letting a murder defendant run his mouth publicly about the case. Unless I knew I was going to plead him. What he said in that interview can be used to impeach his testimony at trial if he says anything different.

[Blue_Roses]

23. Makes sense

to why his lawyer yanked up that money and put it in a "trust".He wanted to make sure he got paid.

Do you think his lawyer sees this as a tough one to win? Just wondering how it looks through the eyes of a criminal defense lawyer.

[Angry Dragon]

15. He makes no sense

If it was god's plan then what is he sorry about??
Is he questioning god??
Is he just making things up as he goes along??
Is he just a killer looking to save his ass??

[uppityperson]

18. He's sorry Trayvon's parents had to bury him. But he'd do exactly the same thing again.

I wonder how this will impact his chance to get a fair trial (sarcasm there).

[cbrer]

22. Pray for them daily? Really?

WTF

[FedUpWithIt All]

24. Eww. Self centered in the extreme.

"I hope it's the most difficult thing I'll ever go through in my life."

Just

What a disgusting display.

[Zoeisright]

25. Fuck both of you, Hannity and Zimmerman.

[Starry Messenger]

26. Gosh, where are all the Zimmerman apologists?

I want an explanation of why this poor man was forced to go on right-wing hate TV to pretend to his false god that he was sorry.

And there is no fucking thing as a "neighborhood watch volunteer"--he's a lone nut vigilante, a murderous one.

[Quixote1818]

28. My guess is the words "your going to die" came from Zimmerman and not Martin

I don't believe for a fucking second Trayvon ever said that when he didn't have the gun. A pot smoking, mellow kid who had never been in a fight before? My gut feeling tells me Zimmerman got the gun and said "Your going to die you son of a bitch" thinking Martin was trash.

Zimmerman is such a lying piece of shit! Every time he lied you could see him blink funny.

[JDPriestly]

31. Those words don't sound like what a 17-year-old boy would say.

Not a 17-year-old who still lives with family and is not on his own. No way he would have the confidence to say that. Think back on when you were 17. A 17-year-old is still a child in many ways. Even the hardest kids are still children at that age. This is not believable.

[Quixote1818]

33. I agree 100%, I think Zimmerman's prejudice view of black kids in hoodies

might have made him think the story would ring true to the cops. Then we find out Trayvon came from a loving middle class family in the neighborhood and the whole lie fell to pieces, at least to rational people. I really, really, really hate this fucking piece of shit Zimmerman and how he would trash a kids reputation to cover his fucking lame ass.

Zimmerman confronted Martin, and a fight occurred. Zimmerman started to lose and because he is an angry, short fused, son of a bitch shot without a second thought. A good kid is dead and a family torn to bits because he is an idiot.

Also, look at Trayvon's friends and brother. ALL NERDS! This was no gangster kid, he was probably pretty peaceful and mellow just scared to death and fighting for his life.

[PBass]

30. God wanted him to drive around the neighborhood with a loaded gun? (NT)

34. WP opinion page says Zimmerman should regret giving the interview

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/zimmerman-should-regret-hannity-interivew/2012/07/19/gJQAwTNovW_blog.html

Seems to be pretty much what everybody is saying.
