George Zimmerman - In the news again

And even Trump thinks moron George Zimmerman is a sicko and bad news. (Although that was in 2012 and 2013, so who knows what he thinks now.)

Gee, ya think? :rolleyes: [

Actually I would be surprised if he hadn’t been threatened. These days when your at the center of such an emotionally charged and well publicized issue, death threats come with the territory. It just takes one idiot with a phone.

I seriously believe it’s safer to assume that whatever Zimmerman asserts is actually the opposite. He is the type of liar that doesn’t just have zero credibility. He has negative credibility, in the mathematical sense. So it doesn’t matter if what he claims is plausible.

That one might actually be true.

Here is the Gun Broker announcement:

They know the shit-storm that would come down on them if they allowed this auction.

Martin Shkreli wants to buy the gun.

Wouldn’t we all be more surprised if he didn’t?

I’m skeptical. That article gives no source and a number of false bids have been made under famous names.

Why is this even newsworthy? Let the idiot sell his damn gun to whomsoever wants to buy it, who gives a shit? The less I hear about this dangleberry the better I like it. He clearly misses his brief time in the spotlight and yearns for the attention of the media. He should be totally ignored; that he would not like at all.

Okay, Rawstory is also reporting it. They’re marginally more credible than a blog post on Occupy Democrats, but all they have are some quotes (not screenshots) of Twitter posts, and those posts don’t explicitly say that Shkreli wants to buy the gun.

I looked at Shkreli’s Twitter feed (God, i’m never doing that again), and all i see is the post quoted in RawStory, where he essentially makes a hypothetical comment, saying that he would only ever consider buying the gun as a museum piece and a reminder of racism.

I see no evidence that he ever seriously considered making a bid or actually buying the weapon.

Agreed. The idjit in question alerted the news media because he’s simply a fucking troll who was sad because he was not getting more attention.

And the news media falls for troll bait once again. (as do we all)

Someone needs write some Real Person Slash starring Skreli and Zimmerman. Call it “The Hate Fucks.”

I’m waiting for Zimmerman fanboy doorhinge to drop by. I’m certain it will be enlightening.

Lately he’s been busy in this thread promoting Arithropobia and basically trying out for the starring role in Idiocracy Too.

Arithropobia: [noun] an extreme or irrational fear of Ar*tha Franklin.

Let’s see you try to coin a new Latin term meaning “fear of math”. :smiley:

A good candidate for head of the FBI, one suspects…
