Three years after the death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has come forward, releasing a 13-minute video regarding the incident and his life following it, lashing out at President Obama amongst other things. In the video, Zimmerman made the following statements:
- "Only in a true life-or-death scenario can you have mental clearness to know that you cannot feel guilty for surviving. In all fairness you cannot as a human feel guilty for living, for surviving."
- "By far, the president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama." (when asked who has been the most unfair to him)
- "To me that was clearly been a dereliction of duty." (regarding President Obama inviting the Martin family to the White House)
- "Unfortunately for the president, I'm also my parent's child and my life matters as well. And for him to make incendiary comments as he did and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution he by far overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects to where you have an innocent American being prosecuted by the federal government."
- "They (the Congressional Hispanic Caucus) aligned themselves with the Black Congressional Caucus and did everything that they could to throw me under the bus. ...[They portrayed me as a] white racist...without knowing anything about my character."
I find it rather humorous that George Zimmerman painted himself as an innocent man with great character in this video, because no matter how much he wants to claim his innocence in the death of Trayvon Martin, the guy's record has been about as clean as a Chicago Cubs fan that said in 1908 he wasn't going to shower until the team won their next World Series. Here's a timeline of Zimmerman's legal troubles since the Martin trial:
7/28/13: He gets pulled over for speeding
8/19/13: He gets pulled over for his windows being tinted too dark
9/3/13: He gets pulled over for speeding again
9/9/13: He gets taken into custody after a "domestic dispute" with his wife, whom just recently filed for divorce
11/18/13: He gets arrested and charged with felony assault for pointing a gun at his girlfriend
9/12/14: He threatens to kill a man in a road-rage incident
1/9/15: He gets arrested and charged for aggravated assault with a weapon, allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend
So, in less than two years, this "innocent" and "character-driven" man has been pulled over three times by police, been named in a road-rage incident where he allegedly threatened to kill a man, and has been arrested or taken into custody on three separate occasions due to charges of domestic violence of some kind. Does he seriously think even the least rational among us would buy what he's selling about him being an "innocent" and "character-driven" man? I don't think so. No matter what George Zimmerman wants us to believe through his drivel and no matter how he wants the world to believe he's the true innocent victim here, one person will never speak again because of him, and at least three other lives may have been close to receiving a similar fate.
