I really don't like this meme: it really s a good idea to wait for more information before jumping to conclusions. It's a bad idea to rush to conclusions that suit your preconceived notions. I say this as someone who firmly believes in systematic racism; it does exist, but that doesn't mean every single time a black person is hurt in an interaction with police officers that the police are the bad guys. Far more often than they should be, but not always, and we need more information to figure out who is who.

I understand that racists hide behind this explanation to disguise their racism, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one.

You cant flim flam the Zim Zam! I mean what was this other dude thinking? You cant convict or kill the Zim Zam baby! Charges nor bullets stick to this motherfucker. This dude must be the result of an accidental pregnancy from a broken teflon condom. He practically has super powers. And now thanks to this dude everyone else in Florida is going to have to deal with a very angry Zim Zam that just got shot in the face.

I think Zimmerman may be the white Suge Knight.

Personally, I think its highly probably that Zimmerman is the victim here since there is a lot of people whose the sole existence of him is a representation of a society that hates them. Im not chastising people that want to wait for the other side of the story or any particular user, just for the character assasination that both the media and the defense dabbled in during this specific trial.

Maybe the shooter was watching the neighborhood and thought Zimmerman was suspicious, so he followed Zimmerman alongside Zimmerman's car. Then Zimmerman flashed gang signs at him while smoking pot, thus making the shooter fear for his life and shoot at Zimmerman in self-defense.

Sounds like either he or someone else shot through his passenger window and the glass slightly injured him from what the OP posted.

I can't be happy to learn that a fellow human being, whoever he or she is, has been shot.

That being said, Karmic justice is not what it used to be.

I read his comment as being sarcastic...

Opiate you are totally right. I due believe when people use it sarcastically, its not done so to incite others into jumping on the gun on judgment but as a reaction to others who are trying to, like you said, hiding behind a vale. Reserving judgment is implicit to asking question trying to get a better idea of all aspects of the situation. People hiding are typically trying to play "devils advocate" from a given side and willfully ignoring other perspective and even going as far to make unqualified inferences on who the perceived victims are.

That said, I thin the usage here is simply dark (hilariously) twisted humor that given Zimmerman's history, can be expected. I admit I chuckled in a dark corner about it and I'm a bad person for doing so :(

Would chuckle again!

It doesn't sound like anyone was shot - rather, a bullet went through Zimmerman's passenger side window, and he was injured from flying glass.

Now, it sounds like that's the only exit/entry point for the bullet - if the bullet was fired into his car, the bullet should be in his car. If the bullet was fired by Zimmerman, it won't be anywhere to be found, at least, not in the car.

For some reason I expect the bullet to not be found.

Thanks for the clarification.

I can't believe how such a walking catastrophe is allowed to roam freely in a whole country.
He should at least enroll in the police forces.

I bet this guy goes to Walmart and malls and shit just to provoke shit. He swears he's untouchable.

And he still lives in Florida. He's either got huge balls, or the stupidest person alive. I go for the latter

"Well he should have been a better shot and got him in the head"



... is what the Butthole Surfers sing in that one song.
