Lil' Zim-Zim scurries into a waiting vehicle with his bag of beef sticks, taco chips, word jumbles.

All of the treasures he had left over from his $75 shopping spree in the lockup's canteen.



Be safe, Little Zim-Zim!

Watch lots of cable TV and cartoons and jack off and eat your sugary, salty snacks, but don't drink any alcohol, because you're not a' spose-to, and as we all know, the reason you're innocent is that you NEVER do things you're not a' spose-to.

Plenty of people will keep sending you money on your Website. Maybe you can use that money to buy something cool, like a Playstation, or a blow-up love doll, or maybe you could pay a Web Designer to put together a Website for you that doesn't look like some hopeless GoDaddy template piece of shit, but that probably won't happen, because while some Web Designers might be willing to be your whore for pay, the overwhelming majority wouldn't touch a scumbag fuck like you with a ten foot pole.

Well, at least you apologized to the Martin family.

Actually, you didn't. What you said between the lines of your sorry-assed "Sorry for your loss" horseshit was "I'd kill that fucking coon again if you'd only put the gun back in my hand."

Sweet dreams, Sweet Prince. Justice is coming. Like a train down the motherfucking tracks. Enjoy life in your "undisclosed location," because if you don't end up behind bars, it's where you're going to spend the rest of your worthless, wannabe rent-a-cop slapping your girlfriend piece of shit LIFE.

1. Want to bet that somebody leaks his location?

And it would be a shame if somebody tracked him down like he did to Trayvon ...

2. Part of the reason for the delay in his release...

...was supposedly the ease with which a GPS tracking device can be hacked.

It's a matter of motivation and free time. He'll either be left alone or he'll become a trophy. Time will tell.

5. Your comment is really out of line

You say it was wrong for what Zimmerman did but you also say it's OK to do the same thing to Zimmerman. Which is it going to be? Is it OK to hunt down unarmed people or isn't it...you can't have it both ways.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. I'm sure he forgot to include the "sarcasm smiley"...

...I've read a number of Bake's posts and do not believe that he would advocate violence against anyone.

[Meiko]

8. I am sure you are correct

This whole Trayvon Martin thing has me wound up. I need to take a break and play with my dog.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. We're all wound up, it's to be expected.

Bake's on our side. That's all I was saying.

[Bake]

13. Thanks, AV. Yep, I'm on your side.

No, I'm not a violent person nor do I espouse violence on the part of others.

I did say it would be a shame ... even if it weren't a big surprise! Frankly, I'll be surprised if Zippy makes it to trial.

Bake

[Bake]

12. Geez, I SAID "it would be a shame."

What part of that don't you get?

I will say, however, that I don't entirely trust a jury full of Florida rednecks. Make of that what you will.

3. Is that a Steelers jacket?

If so, no need for a trial. Go straight to jail.

[magical thyme]

7. yup. nt

4. The guy standing behind him looks familiar. And very tired of the whole thing.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. Before the "apology," Zimmerman whined about how "he lost his life too"...

...and here's what I think.

If he didn't put a bullet in Trayvon Martin, he's right, and we are wrong (he needs to prove it).

If Trayvon actually attacked him, threatened his life, said bad move cliches to him like "You're gonna die tonight" and "You GOT me," he's right, and we are wrong (he needs to prove it).

If he's a "self-appointed neighborhood watch captain," packing a concealed weapon (frowned upon by legitimate neighborhood watch programs), and he put a bullet in an innocent kid trying to get back to his dad's home while carrying a bag of candy and an iced tea, he deserves whatever justice is meted out by the courts. The cour of public opinion is a different matter. That can lean dangerously toward "vigilante justice"...kind of like a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain packing a concealed weapon and putting a bullet in an innocent kid trying to get back to his dad's home while carrying a bag of candy and an iced tea.

[freshwest]

11. I'd argue he didn't have a life to lose. Look at his record. What a mess.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. That's our justice system

There are sick people in the world. They destroy. They are like vermin, just roaming the world and taking whatever meets their agenda. And the justice system acknowledges mental illness. It acknowledges a guy like Zimmerman who is so disconnected that he thinks it's a good thing to put a bullet in the chest of a fucking 17 year old kid who was walking home to his dad's place with candy and iced tea. They acknowledge the sickness, and they don't want to punish him for it, so they spare him prison time (where he would most surely be snuffed out in a matter of days) and send him off to some "safe place" where he can eat his candy and beef sticks and taco chips and fill in his crossword puzzles and word jumbles and contribute nothing to society beyond his continued presence.

Zimmerman's right.

His life, as he knew it, is over.

And that may not be a bad thing, considering the fact that Trayvon Martin's family will spend the rest of their life experiencing their son through photographs and memories.

[freshwest]

15. I wonder how much this has to do with blue and red states. I live in a blue state, and we've spent

A lot more on rehabilitation and mental illness in the past but in red states that I've been in, they see it as a moral weakness. Not an illness that needs treatment. This might have been part of the problem here.

There are so many varieties of things that go wrong in the brain and the limbic system. Z was going to find trouble one way or the other. He showed a lack of impulse control before, but did his tail between legs routine when caught to escape punishment.

He knew what the rules of proper society (okay, general term) were in relation to how to treat others but broke those rule repeatedly. And was compelled to not follow the rules of the neighborhood watch and the dispatcher. Those who argue the term 'order' and 'suggestion' from the dispatcher are weaseling.

Where I live, if a person is found to be incapacitated in mental health court, even if only to get them in the hospital, at the very top of the list of what their future life will look like after they get out, is they will never be allowed to legally carry a gun. Period.

But low-regulation, low-tax states don't provide these services or they leave offenders in privately run places like the boot camp where kids have been killed in Florida. No accountability. There seems to be a child welfare crisis there as well, and rampant religious wackery there. And obviously very lax gun control. This is a case for it.

Zimmerman should never have been allowed to carry. If he hadn't, I'll bet he'd have stayed in that truck since he said he was afraid. He was afraid or he was not afraid. No matter what, Z thought this would give him a leg up in life in the future.

But the Martins will never get to know what their son might have done, good or bad in his life in the future.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. Explain this to me, if you can...

...and I do not mean this in a racist way. That's not who I am. People who have read my posts know that.

But please explain to me why the clueless, inbred hillfolk of FreeRepublic continually insist on referring to Zimmerman as a "white guy?"

I've seen the photos, I don't see a "white guy." I understand that in his mother's country of origin, there are people who "look white" and people who don't. I look at George Zimmerman and I do not see a "white guy," but that's how the freepers who are donating money on his Website like to see him.

Why is that?

Not that it should matter. But I see George Zimmerman and I do not see a "white guy."

Is it because he's not Trayvon Martin, and he's "not black?" Becaise he's definitely not "a black guy" like the CHILD he fucking MURDERED.

Is "not black" the new "white?"

[pokerfan]

20. Yes, we can't forget who the real victim is in this tragedy

[grasswire]

17. the guy in the back is zimmerman

the guy in the front appears to be another released man with his own bag of stuff

[freshwest]

19. Ah, he shaved. You're right. I dragged it and lightened it. Thanks.

[KG]

18. he's hiding in Duluth, MN under the name 'George Dylan'
