DMX and GZ cancelled

(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.
So now you are reduced to just 'C&Ping'.
That sums you up perfectly.
Go fuck yourself.

You are one sick boy...............
 
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.

I like GZ for the simple fact that he has, more than anyone else, exposed the lefties for the ignorant, hateful, racist hypocrites that we've always known they were. For that and that alone I'd like to buy him a few drinks.

Oh, and as a taxpayer, I appreciate that he took out a worthless thug wanna-be who was destined to be a drain on society. What's not to like?

Just as I thought. There was pressure from the race baiters to stop the fight. GZ had nothing to do with it.

Another thing I appreciate GZ for is the way he makes lefties look like fools.

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.

There just wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

actually there was like no evidence

and the state was almost as helpful to the defense as the defense was

that white Hispanic certainly did do that
 
George Zimmerman did not chicken out, it was the promoter who cancelled it.

You left wing racist haters morons are wrong yet again.


You left wing racist haters morons are wrong yet again

and this surprises you how

It's a simple fact that the haters on the left don't want to admit: the Sanfird Police Department had it right when they let GZ go in the first place. It was a pure case if self defense.

Martin assaulted GZ and GZ defended himself. Open and shut case that never should have gone to trial.

He doesn't even do that, dumbass.
 
How's that federal prosecution coming? And the massive civil suit filed by the parents, has that happened yet?

So name them bitch. You can't b/c George has never "beaten up a girl".
You're a liar.
What kind of fucked up mind would someone have to have so that their own kids won't visit them? Not only that but the kids wives refuse to allow the mother-in-law to enter their houses or have anything to do with their children?
The kind of fucked up mind that still believes George's "cheap gun" recoiled and broke his nose. Not 'T's' fist.
What's the matter? Aren't they showing any 'Golden Girls' episodes today in the 'Activity Room'.

circus they wanted
