Nah.

Look up Boaty McBoatface if you want to know where that name came from...

[SoFloFreeper]

I remember him. He saved lives, didn’t he? :)

[Crucial]

I have the same question.

[Talisker]

How did Trayvon admit that?

While he was pounding Zimmerman's head, he yelled that he was going to kill him. The head bouncing on the pavement leant credence to the threat.

[Oztrich Boy]

So George’s word, establishing a defence.

How many folks these days remember Bernie Goetz?

I do; one of my silent heroes.

Did not got go gently into the new thugs reality before it was popular.

[Talisker]

So George’s word, establishing a defence

Not really - getting his head pounded into the concrete was enough of a defense, backed by the blood and head wound which was documented by photographs. That the person doing the pounding would threaten to kill him at the same time is hardly unreasonable.

the bidding on the weapon that killed Trayvon Martin

The media's all over this..."the gun used to kill TM". How about the truth...the gun used by Zimmerman to protect himself from an attacking TM.

I like this. I think its great when the news gets too stupid to pick a side and somebody unleashes some asinine shenanigans to monkeywrench the whole thing.

I was cool with Zimmerman defending himself and shooting the guy beating his head against the curb, but he's been nothing but a jackass every since.

How would any of us fare after a national libel campaign by the press and politicians and a bogus trial that should never have happened?

He was slandered by ABC News, NBC News and The Today Show. Alan Dershowitz said the prosecutor’s conduct, “...bordered on criminal...” His character was assassinated by the coward Eric Holder, who spent three years to see if he could invent a civil rights charge so that the racist in chief could prosecute.

To his credit, he hasn’t gone postal.

Now let's see if he gets to keep it.

[Publius]

The gun doesn’t have any real historical value.

Don't be so sure of that. That gun may be remembered as the gun that fired the first shot of the Second Civil War.

[Jonty30]

We will see.

"...Now let's see if he gets to keep it..."

---

George Zimmerman will naturally not keep the historic semi-automatic pistol.
He sold it at auction for $120,000 today. It will be transferred to the buyer.

I’m talking about the proceeds from the sale....
