George Zimmerman announces lawsuit against Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren for $265 million

[Soph0571]

According to the conservative Washington Times, reported that Zimmerman is accusing the Democrats of “maliciously defam[ing]” him by using the killing of Martin “as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”

“The obvious intent of Buttigieg and Warren’s Tweets is alleged race-baiting, in an attempt to draw African American votes during this Democrat presidential primary season,” Tea Party gadfly lawyer Larry Klayman said in a statement.

“Both defendants, Buttigieg and Warren, are alleged in the complaint to have acted with actual malice, as it is widely known that Zimmerman was acquitted of murder based on self-defense,” the statement said.

Emphasis mine

How on earth can they defame him with righteous truth????
Money grubbing Nazi really needs to fuck right off.

1. Who pays his lawyers? Perhaps he has a rich right-wing sugar daddy.

[aeromanKC]

2. Counter sue. Put the killer in debt for life.

3. +1

[luvtheGWN]

13. That was my first question.

[Odoreida]

19. It's all pro bono right wing activist lawyers

And he might win, unfortunately.

[spooky3]

22. I don't believe anyone on the right wing donates

Her or his services. Some moneybags is paying the lawyers and probably Zimmerman, to drain the time and resources of Buttigieg and Warren.

[Odoreida]

24. On this we can all agree -- Whoever is paying it's not GZ n/t

[NewJeffCT]

20. Didn't he get a lot of money

from RW groups doing fundraisers during his initial trial?

[Baitball Blogger]

25. I know the kind of circles around Seminole County.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone that is very connected to the local Republican party tapped Zimmerman on the shoulder and suggested the lawsuit. They probably have lawyers lined up to serve him.

[Midnight Writer]

33. Larry Klayman, quoted in the article, is Judicial Watch, a right wing non-profit.

Under our law, they don't have to disclose their donors, since they are "non-political".

[LastDemocratInSC]

34. Klayman is a right wing gadfly, for sure.

In addition to "fighting the good fight" I'm sure he smells a potential payday in all of this.

4. This can only help BOTH of them!

Zimmerman is the kind of f**king POS that is inspired by the POS-in-Chief.

[Grokenstein]

5. Dear candidates and anyone else listening: Stand your ground.

(interpret that however you wish)

[Submariner]

6. It's amazing that target for revenge is still upright

I thought someone would have killed that parasite years ago.

[KPN]

7. He's still alive?

[Farmer-Rick]

8. Oh so the murderer is now the victim?

What a load of crap. Zimmerman who admitted he killed an innocent boy, whines about his character being damaged?

He is funded by white supremacist who got in the WH by betraying the US and riding Putin's tailcoat. Now this idiot is riding the white supremacist and Russian gravey train.

[CaptYossarian]

9. It takes a big man to admit he was threatened by Skittles.

How can you possibly defame that?

[babylonsister]

10. He's such an attention whore. nt

[spooky3]

23. And as a result he is a public figure, which makes it nearly

impossible to win defamation suits.

[Gothmog]

11. This is a very sad lawsuit

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. So what did Buttigieg and Warren say exactly? Guess I missed

Something.

[redqueen]

30. The article doesn't cite whatever tweets they're talking about.

It's almost certain that this lawsuit is as baseless as their other ones. Morons.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. I just read an article that questionned why Zimmerman

didn't and doesn't let it all die. He got acquitted and keeps on doing outrageous stuff.

I really hope neither did tweet about him though. You can still think he's wretched and also think if a jury acquitted a person, as a public servant who respects jury decisions, you should talk about someone else???

[redqueen]

32. He thrives on attention.

He really is shameless.

Warren and at least one other candidate did refer to Michael Brown's killing as a murder, and when the did I thought we most likely would be hearing about that again.

[rurallib]

14. Bread and circuses - another clown takes the stage

[gembaby1]

15. FFS!

Is that crackpot STILL around?

[ecstatic]

17. +1000. nt

[denem]

16. Why would anyone think Zimmerman was racist?

[ExciteBike66]

28. I had to look it up, but

apparently the Confederate constitution included the right to bear arms in Article 1, section 9, clause 13, and not in a separate bill of rights. Thus, in the context of the Confederacy, invoking "the 2nd" and "our 1st" is nonsense.

This just further goes to prove my theory that Zimmerman is a f-ing moron.

[jcmaine72]

18. Huh? Can you actually sue someone for simply stating that water is wet?

You'd think he'd simply be grateful at his point for not being in a prison cell (where he belongs) getting violently sodomized and having the shit kicked out of him everyday for the next 30-60 years. You'd think.

[TheSocialDem]

21. This asshole auctioned off the murder weapon

For $250,000. Good luck you racist fuck

[BlueIdaho]

26. I for one

Am looking forward to the discovery process...

[Codeine]

27. Sad little man.

Difficult to live when you’re so obviously inadequate.

[thecrow]

35. You know, when I first read the post title I had to ask myself

who is George Zimmerman?
It took reading a few posts before I knew who we were talking about.
His lawyers must be wanting to get paid. What a pathetic little man.

[redqueen]

29. I thought this would have been done by Darren Wilson.

Fucking Zimmerman - did they even mention him?
