He only fights black guys when he's armed… and still ends up getting his ass kicked.

So Trayvon was beating Zimmerman?

Guess he found out there are no guns allowed in the ring.

Opps.

Most conservatives find it hard to fight fair.

It's not in their nature.

How can Republicans still justify supporting this guy? He's obviously trying hard to keep his name in the news, while his only claim to fame was shooting an unarmed 17 year old.

Zimmerman is a registered democrat.

The only thing I ever supported for Zimmerman was that he get a fair trial and not get convicted because of emotion, politically correctness, or race baiting beyond that I don't care about him or what he does.

While I disagree with what he did, I agreed with the verdict. There just wasn't enough evidence to convict him. The fact that he would use such an unfortunate incident to keep his name in the headlines is despicable though.

He really should just take his not guilty verdict and disappear hopefully the fact no one cared about this stupid fight will accomplish this.

What? I can't tell if I'm misunderstanding something or if you're unspeakably awful

Trayvon would have been 19 a few days ago.

Trayvon would have been 19 a few days ago.

Probably would have been celebrating it in jail

Trayvon would have been 19 a few days ago.

Yeah. He'd now be in a Fed prison convicted of attempted murder. And the 'Makers' would be paying to keep the simian fed and clothed for twenty years.
Thank you George for your good work saving the 'Makers' tens of thousands of dollars by killing off a human parasite.
All 'monkey-boy' had to do was open the door and walk inside and lock the door. Instead he choose to go commit felony assault b/c he had sized up George and thought he could assault George...no problem. Instead 'monkey-boy 'got dead'.
There's always a silver lining.

Poor Zimmy. No teenagers wanted to volunteer!

(Reuters) - The celebrity boxing match between rapper DMX and acquitted Florida killer George Zimmerman has been called off, its promoter said on Saturday after threats were made against him.

The three-round match would have pitted Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting death of unarmed, black teenager Trayvon Martin, against the trash-talking musician with a history of arrests, most of them drug or driving offenses.

Damon Feldman, who has organized numerous bouts between celebrities, said on Twitter that the Zimmerman-DMX match was off after generating a public outcry this week.

"Done with George Zimmerman if you had a major payday sitting in front of you, I know no one else would walk away like I did ***Next!!," he said in a Tweet.

Martin's shooting and Zimmerman's self-defense claim polarized the United States on issues of racial justice, stand your ground laws and gun control.

Feldman came under a barrage of criticism after the fight between Zimmerman and Earl Simmons, better known as DMX, was announced on Wednesday, Martin's birthday.

Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton, who has backed Martin's family, cautioned against glorifying Zimmerman. The "Cancel George Zimmerman's 'Celebrity' Boxing Match" Facebook page generated 315,000 "likes."

Sherry Schaefer, Feldman's assistant, said that the promoter had been threatened and had to get a bodyguard.

Feldman was approached about seeking a bout for Zimmerman, although the promoter did not consider him a celebrity, she said.

Schaefer said billionaire Alki David had backed the proposed fight for his FilmOn.com online television service.

The fight was first set for March 1 and then switched to March 15.

In a statement, a spokesman for DMX said the rapper had never agreed to the fight and it would not affect his concert schedule.

After Zimmerman's acquittal, his lawyer said it would be difficult for his client, like defendants in other notorious crimes, to find normal employment.

In his 2013 trial, Zimmerman was accused of racially profiling, following and shooting Martin, a 17-year-old guest in a gated neighborhood in central Florida, as the youth was returning from a convenience store. Zimmerman claimed self-defense.

The trial put the spotlight on Florida's stand your ground law, which allows someone in fear of his or her life to use lethal force.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law. He has twice been stopped for speeding, once in Texas and again in Florida.

In September, Zimmerman was questioned by police after his estranged wife called authorities saying he threatened her with a gun. He was not charged in that incident.

Silly sheeple. It was never going to happen. The whole thing was a publicity stunt.
