Freepers getting less thrilled with defending George Zimmerman

George Zimmerman, of shooting Trayvonn Martin fame, was boasting about it in a bar and got punched. When last I posted on Zimmerman's saga of post-shooting violence and trouble, I wondered whether Freepers' paranoia was up to the task of continuing to cover for this guy.

So far, it's holding, but you can tell they're not super into it anymore.

sagar does not understand how shame is different from guilt:
If True, Zimmerman is an absolute moron - he should never, ever mention that event again. Even though he did the right thing, many people only know the caricature of events as narrated by leftists, i.e., liars.

Why not? Since GZ did the right thing, talking about it is NOT wrong. It is his first amendment right to talk and speak up so that others know what they can do to defend themselves. Since he was acquitted of any crime, he has first amendment rights.
bigtoona is pretty willing to write this guy off:
He was a democrat at the time of the shooting if I remember correctly. It may explain his wacky nature...
digger48 doesn't bother with any spin, and just relies on all the past work he's done rationalizing Zimmerman as not a violent ass:
When it comes to George Z., you can pretty much take it to the bank that this headline and story are 180 degrees from the truth..
Altura Ct. is even lazier than that!
I trust little to nothing of what the press says about racial issues
Now SaraJohnson brings the specialized reality denying I was expecting!
I don’t believe the story that he was bragging. That is a cover story for the aggressor to look justified, is my guess.
Maverick68 forgives Saint Zimmerman for all he does:
Some people say :”Zimmerman has been acting like an idiot”...
After the treatment he received by the press and the thuggish culture, he has every damn right to act any way he pleases.
But Gold Star families had better watch themselves!

RetiredArmyMajor smugly points out that Zimmerman is a killer:
Not sure I’d go around punching people who have been known to defend themselves with deadly force against people who started punching them.

    "I created the burkini to give women freedom, not to take it away"

  2. "He was a democrat at the time of the shooting if I remember correctly. It may explain his wacky nature... "

    Stuff like this has always puzzled me. Do they really not get that for the bulk of the population saying I'm a (insert political party/religion/ect.) really doesn't mean that much of anything. People are going to act how ever they fell like.

    It's like they think saying "I'm a democrat" is a magic chant to make you do stupid things all of a sudden and "I'm a republican" is the chant to make you a super genius.

    1. Considering all the times Freepers called themselves true blue (or red?) Republicans and now seem to be throwing the party away as if they never believed? I don't see how it is that they get to leave their party and another can't and they not understand the hypocrisy. Until I remember everything else that constantly changes reality for them at every turn.

      The only thing consistent with the their views is that they believe they've always believed what they currently say.

      Except that deep down they don't and just hope no one else sees through the facade.

  3. Zimmerman was always disturbingly brown. Latino capping a feral is a narrative you can get behind based on the latter criterion for only so long. After a while the former reasserts itself.

  4. I find SaraJohnson's comment highly ironic:

    I don’t believe the story that he was bragging. That is a cover story for the aggressor to look justified, is my guess.

    ...could be written as:

    I don’t believe the story that he was being attacked. That is a cover story for the aggressor to look justified, is my guess.
