I love you so much right now

I'm laughing so hard

 

[Omnicent]

This is turning into a thread of the ages. I'm trying not to laugh so hard while at work.
At first reading this news had me feeling a bit sick, but feeling better now.

 

[Aylinato]

Killed someone in self defense and acquitted. Basically it goes like this, "Killing is murder but not all killings are murders so not all killing is bad".

They didn't prove self-defense. They did fail to prove he did it because the prosecution botched the case.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I know it's funny to a lot of people but it's disturbing as fuck to me that a guy in this country tries to market himself as a celebrity after murdering another human being.

I get where you're coming from, but he could advertise himself as God and I wouldn't care as long as I get to watch someone beat the shit out of him.

 

[bidguy]

he should be in prison right now

this is mockery i hope someone knocks him into a coma

 

[Lucario]

if he dies, he dies

 

[Nokagi]

Disgusting.

 

[massoluk]

Fuck this asshole. Innocent or not, you killed a fucking boy, you lay low, not cash in on it.

 

[C.B.]

In all seriousness though, he's walked away with no consequences for killing someone, and has walked away from what seems like various other cases and problems. Dude probably feels invincible and thinks no one can touch him. It's no doubt that he's come across supporters, so he probably legit feels he's done the right thing and is a stand up guy. Unfortunately the value of life means very little to some people, and to them it's all symbolic.

 

[Satch]

those comic pages


im screaming

 

[electroshockwave]

Something smoldered within the dungeons of The "White" House, and for once it was not hashish.

"A thousand curses!" cried Caliph Hussein Obama, "First the honkynfidel foiled Operation Caliphate, and now he dares to challenge the first sport we stole from the white devil!" He flung his moon god idol across the room, nearly striking a trembling Jay Carney in his weak liberal forehead.

"With his superior strategy and intellect, he'll destroy any of our strongest brutes, even if they were hopped up on our most potent marihuana! If only there were a way..."

"Sir..." sniveled Carney in a probably homosexual sort of way, "Aren't... you half of each?"

Obama's face twist at the word "half" and his scimitar was already partly drawn before he stopped to reconsider.

"Yes... yes, Carney. You're right. The blood of Yacub, that for so long I considered a curse, could be my greatest weapon. I will turn the crackers' own strength against them! Carney! Call George Zimmerman! Tell him he has a match!"

I love you, Emcee.

On a serious note, this just shows what a disgusting human being Zimmerman is. I hope he gets wrecked and shows how pathetic he is but that won't undo any of the damage he's done.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Kinda hope someone stabs him a few times to be honest.

 

[Rayven_king]

I love you so much right now

I'm laughing so hard

*tears* I'm dyin here

 

[ced]

What an idiot, he should be in hiding somewhere.

 

[dan2026]

Bwahahaha!.

This is kind of darkly hilarious, like a South Park parody.

You have to admire this idiot's balls. He's basically saying 'come at me black people, I killed one of you and got away with it and I can do it again!'

 

[ReiGun]

C.B. doing the Lord's work. I can't breathe.

 

[Bay Maximus]

Perhaps he's grown tired of punching his significant others.

This person is detestable as is his hordes of supporters who rallied behind him when the 'big, bad government played the race card'. I certainly don't wish his death or anything but I wouldn't shed one tear if an actual boxer tuned him up real good. Though I wouldn't pay or watch it, he doesn't deserve the income.

 

[90TilInfinity]

omg. C.B. and Emcee are killing me.

 

[Alienous]

GAF, what have we just witnessed?

 

[Zips]

So how long until someone else kills someone, with the plan of trying to make themselves into a "celebrity" out of it?

Pretty damn sad that he's been making money off of this.

 

[harSon]

Make a comic about this story: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=760637

 

[Miletius]

I know it's funny to a lot of people but it's disturbing as fuck to me that a guy in this country tries to market himself as a celebrity after murdering another human being.

I too, am rather disturbed. At least have some humility for the suffering you've caused.

The story and the comics are hilarious though.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Lyrics from Love Game by Eminem ft. Kendrick Lamar, Kendrick's verse: "I want you as bad as the head shattered on George Zimmerman."

Well, looks like your wish may be granted Kendrick.


Edit: Shit, bravo on those comics. Make more!

 

[Bulk_Rate]

Fuck this man.

Charity be damned, it's disgusting that this killer is hailing himself as a celebrity. He gained notoriety for shooting a minor to death, and now is trying to stay relevant in American culture. I hope Kimbo signs up to waste him.

Too funny; that was my first thought when I saw this thread title! I would pay to see that. Only thing better would be him in a cage with Rampage under PRIDE rules and in Japan where fights aren't stopped on a dime.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What is PRIDE rules? Is that where the Yakuza pays Rampage to take a throw the fight?

 

[zeemumu]

But it was proven that he killed a person and it's now being cherised for that fact, people don't want to see Zimmerman the man, but Zimemrman the killer. This is some kind of Roman empire bullshit.

The only person regarding him as a celebrity is himself, and maybe a small handful of people who will never be allowed to represent humanity in any way.

 

[lil smoke]

This seems like bait from Zimmerman and I hope no one falls for it.

 

[Bulk_Rate]

Well good point, but as long as he gets a few Soccer Kicks in first.

 

[Buzzati]

He better hope they don't choose an opponent based on weight class.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Someone contact mike Tyson . We need to see if Tyson still has that jab that can paralyze opponents

I lost it at the blood of Yacub..

 

[bomb]

Could you imagine if he fought a black guy....and won? He would be dead before leaving the arena.

 

[inm8num2]

I wish the media would leave GZ alone...

 

[kehs]

Turns out she was lying.

She chose to not press charges. That doesn't mean she was lying.

 

[Jimothy]

Can we start a kickstarter or something to get this published? I'm only half kidding.

 

[Ephemeris]

Outstanding

 

[KingGondo]

Can we start a kickstarter or something to get this published? I'm only half kidding.

I'm not.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Like it or not, he is a celebrity. Sure, not like Beiber, but he's a celebrity now.

He's making money everywhere. The media can't stop talking about him, they want book deals, interviews. People buy his plagiarized art because he is famous. And overall people can't stop giving him attention, including GAF.

This. Pretty much a scathing indictment of how disgusting our pop culture is. It's like some parody out of GTA.

 

[samus i am]

if he dies, he dies

 

[Esch]

omjfg

 

[Bucket Mouse]

Is this unprecedented, a child murderer becoming a media celebrity? Like something out of a dystopian satire.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Is it not strange that the guy who supposedly couldn't fend off a teenager who was "beating him to death" is now issuing out open boxing challenges?

 

[BitStyle]

Amazing...

C.B. and Emcee making this thread magical.

 

[Messypandas]

Is this unprecedented, a child murderer becoming a media celebrity? Like something out of a dystopian satire.

well, theres always this guy:

[spindashing]

"I'll fight anyone, even black people" got a laugh out of me and I'm black.

He's going to get fucked up. Or at least this is what I want to happen.

I heard The Game (rapper, not doofus-son-inlaw) wants a shot at Zimmerman.

 

[Valhelm]

This is fucking badass. I'd love an entire comic book of this.

 

[DC R1D3R]

Rapper The Game Accepts George Zimmerman's challenge

20 stacks on The Game!

 

[.GqueB.]

If this truly was self-defence (personally I don't buy it) I still wouldn't do it. Who wants to be reminded that they had to kill a kid however justified it was? Evidently this remorseless bastard but that's kind of the point.

I guess we're all making the mistake of looking at it through our own lens which is certainly common.

Thing is, all skepticism aside, in his world he defended himself and accidentally killed someone. He was tried and acquitted. In his world he saved his own life by unfortunately ended the life of another. He has done no wrong and we keep giving him attention so he's going to ride this wave until we stop providing it for him.

I mean look at GAF. Everything he does gets a thread. This is a direct mirror of what's going on with the media. He's riding the "celeb" wave and getting paid for it. To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure I'd do it differently.

This man's pathetic attempts to crawl back into the spotlights, it's a sad sight to behold.
