I doubt his story of the severity of he beating, and I've seen more than my share of people who have taken a beating and never thought they were going to die as a result............much more severe beatings then Zimmerman claims to have endured...................like I said, if ur that soft that a punch in the face is gonna put you in fear of your life, leave your gun in the house and stay on the couch.......................all his injuries were consistent with a school yard brawl.................and he never even got xrays for a broken nose.

this guy didn't even seek medical treatment for his life threatening injuries...he went to a Dr the next day to get a note to excuse him for the day of work he missed!! did you know that?

that's the big question, did the beating he supposedly get warrant dpf................from all I've heard he wasn't getting a severe beating nor did his injuries even remotely suggest he did.

like I said, people get big balls when they strap on a gun....

there's a big difference between finding yourself in a dpf situation and intentionally putting yourself in one......if this guy was such a pussy, as his defense team made him out to be, he should have stayed in his car...........apparently his thought was that he can just shoot the guy since he knew that's all he had as a personal defense.

The Lord? don't get me started on something that may or may not exist....I'll go with what the jury decides.

"A man's got to know his limitations" and unfortunately Zimmerman did not..........for that he'll pay for the rest of his life.

if your balls get bigger when you strap on a gun, put it back in the closet and stay on the couch...........

my biggest issue with this is, if Zimmerman was such a pussy that he couldn't even punch his way out of a paperbag, and that's how his defense team portrayed him, than why in the world would he pursue him? because he had a gun and he knew that he could fall back on that if things got rough?...the way I see it, most people don't look for a fight if they know their such a mess, unless they're given no other choice, he had other choices but chose the wrong path......they say, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but in this case don't intentionally bring a marshmallow to a fistfight.

oddly enough, the State never wanted to charge him, but they were pressured to do so...........I don't think this was ever brought out in trial...but with that being said, I can't imagine any parent accepting that.

If someone is coming through your door to commit a crime you can defend yourself...........and reading the signs, are Chicago and Illinois two separate States?

yes, but his assets, if he has any will go first, and then they'll go after his income....as little as they can get at a time..................any lawyers want to confirm this? I assume it's like an award in a divorce, you can claim you're broke, but they will garnish your wages to get some sort of payment........if I'm not mistaken, Zimmerman at first claimed he was broke and misrepresented his financial situation because of the funds that had been set up.

I don't think it's based on a person's assets, but what the life of the deceased person is worth. For instance, if he had killed a million dollar a year doctor, they look at it as how much financial loss is the family looking at because of his death.

What happens if the new website doesn't bring in enough funds for both George's living expenses and the costs of litigation? His lawyers can apply to the court to have him declared indigent, and the state will have to pick up the costs of litigation (which are different than legal fees.) Those fees could easily run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

that was due to the hurricane, the usual check in process starts Nov 1st.

There have to be some fees, why else would his friend have written the book about the incident to help pay for legal fees? and even if he's acquitted, the family will file a wrongful death suit and that will fall on Zimmerman if they win..............look at O.J. Simpson, he was acquitted, but the family still won a wrongful death suit to the tune of a few million dollars.....makes little sense, but that's what happens.

It's probably a good idea to make sure that what or why you're getting involved in something is well worth the potential ramifications..........regardless of how this turns out, Zimmerman's life is going to be a disaster from this point forward, financially and emotionally....and for what? I can only imagine what his legal bills are going to be, and they will be the same if he's in jail or not.

my advice, if you're going to be hunting State Land is, concentrate on Oct 1st to Nov 1st..........between those dates you don't have to deal with the check in process.......after Nov 1st it becomes a big hassle as far as I'm concerned.........and you need to have access and parking permits, so take care of that ahead of time.

treat your outer clothing with permethrin, it dries odorless, and works very well. Are you going to be hunting private or public land?

#1 on your list should be tick repellent.

good point, if a woman or child was being attacked in this manner it would seem much more reasonable to resort to such force. I agree, women seem to have more "balls" then men in many situations.............unfortunately there's only one person able to tell the story of what or who brought on the physical altercation.

no doubt there's 1000's of communities with neighborhood watch organizations made up of sensible people.............and I'm sure many have someone involved who is over the top and everyone else looks at as a nutjob..................if Zimmerman was such a physical mess and couldn't punch his was out of a paperbag, as portrayed by his defense, and his ONLY way of defending himself in any situation was to shoot, he should have stayed in his car...............and I'm sure right about now he's thinking the same thing, his life will be a prison sentence in one way or another once this is all said and done.

not sure what they teach at neighborhood watch meetings, but I would be shocked if they tell you to arm yourself and pursue any and all suspicious looking people.........especially in NY.

but he didn't draw his weapon first and tell the kid to stop, he woulda been better off with that scenario.

most NORMAL people carry a gun in a "right to carry" state to protect themselves and their families if they are targeted by criminals, they don't go looking to put themselves in that situation...................... with that being said, you can't just be involved in a fight with someone and just pull your gun and shoot them, you have to have the a REASONABLE fear that you're going to die.............from watching the "experts" speak at this trial, Zimmerman had minor injuries.
