So how did you hear about it, or any of us for that matter, if not via the news media?

GZ is NOT a public figure, he is not a politician, or an actor, or anything but a private citizen whose unfortunate actions under unfortunate situations brought him to the attention of those who tried their best to use him as a scapegoat in their commercial racist agenda, but failed. The fact that so many "hate" someone they don't even know is a sad commentary just shows their supreme ignorance.

Sorry to say, well actually I'm not sorry, but Mr. Zimmerman is what is referred to as a "limited purpose public figure," as the result of his high profile trial and subsequent scraps with the law. That makes him an open target for the media.

So, pictures of a teenager with a gun (Colorado prom photo), middle finger (Railman96 posted a counter pic) and weed (ASU kids doing drugs) and being suspended from school = thug

But an adult being arrested multiple times = well, he's not a good guy. "I probably wouldn't have a beer with him."

The black guy at Waffle House who shot someone in self defense was called a thug because he had been arrested, but no convictions.

The hypocrisy is pathetic.

Sorry, but Apperson looks like the crazed stalked type who his gunning for glory.
ROFLMAO Sorry but Z-man is well known for his waving his gun and threatening ..although in the past few years it was aimed at x-wife..her father and his past girlfriend..But put that aside...He GOT AWAY with that ( Intimidations no doubt)..Just like he got away with threats, stalking alleged by Matt Aspersion last year..and didn't press charges..GZ is either stupid..to once again confront Matt or IF as Westie alleges he moved out of the State,,WHY the Hell since GZ already know's Matt works there would he even go there/ Never mind GZ apologist will always support HIS RIGHTS....MA Also has Same RIGHTS... Both had permits for weapons.....BUT who has the actual HISTORY?? Who has actually killed another????

I refuse to accept West at his word..He is spinning..just like all defence attny's do....LOL But the mear fact that George initiated initial confrontations 1 year ago..followed up and stalked MA

However..GZ supposedly moved out of STATE ( per West)..excuse Mother's Day and Doctor's appointment....YET to be co-oberrated yet

.I'm truly wondering..WHY delay in executing search warrant of GZ's vehicle/Truck..Could there be evidence of printed matter?? Could there be evidence to prove that GZ wanted to confront MA??? Who know's?..GZ has this Pam Spray (Teflon) on him..Slips out from under charges ...???? What does GZ have hanging over Justice Departments?? LOL

ETA~~ People keep talking about rolling down windows..Yikes...It's been decades..Drivers have full control/ power-wise of ALL windows..That means power up..power down..lock one door or ALL!! etc..Please> Neither GZ nor MA needed to ROLL any window....Button push Open/Close/Lock.....OK???..But please remember what century you all are living in!! TYIA!!

George Zimmerman shooter Matthew Apperson uses 'stand your ground' defence' | Daily Mail Online
The only claim to such a defense was made by the anonymous writer who wrote the story. You really need to become a more discerning reader, or at least not to publicly demonstrate you're not.

Yeah, a "jew" from a strongly Catholic family who had been, in fact, an altar boy. But don't let facts get in the way of spreading all that misinformation. Ask yourself what else you have wrong.

Ahh. You state opinion. I'm guessing, based on your comments, that you don't have much personal experience with those you define to be "conservative" since you use the term as a pejorative.

His lawyer said this in a press conference.

George Zimmerman created a situation in which he unnecessary killed a kid who wasn't bothering anybody and it made many of us angry. Don't give us this commercial racist agenda baloney.

What is a sad commentary is the continued defense of this guy.

Since his behavior before that incident and since that incident indicates that he is prone to getting into altercations, the "supreme ignorance" is actually people who STILL believe his story about what happened the night he killed Martin.

BBM

I believe any force used against GZ is 100% justified.

he has proven himself to be a menace to society who is a loose cannon.
