George Zimmerman – “I’m Above the Law”

Christi O’Connor has released Part 1 of her investigative report on video.  She doesn’t tell us much of what we don’t already know about George Zimmerman, but she does, along with many, ask why.

When watching the video of George Zimmerman destroying Shellie’s iPad, we see people who are not identified and that we did not hear from.  In her recently released video, O’Connor interviews one such person.  He tells O’Connor that George did have a gun on him that day, and that George’s girlfriend, Samantha, placed the gun in her purse to hide from the police.  That man also said that George stated he is above the law.

OstermanIn one frame, we see who looks like Mark Osterman standing with Shellie and the man who O’Connor interviewed. (Hat tip to and correction by Jeff.  The man in this photo is Kelly Sims, Shellie’s attorney.)

Could this confirm what Samantha said about George being alone and no longer having friends?

What O’Connor has ferreted out supports what Shellie said about George believing he is invincible.   She addresses evidence withheld and law ignored in the six months since George’s acquittal in the shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

        Look at Chris Christie. He bullied people around when he was the U.S. Attorney for NJ and during his first term as governor and now the current U.S. Attorney has Christie in his sites (wide screen version?).

    I would answer “Yes”

    Somehow, though, he has some sort of control of these people….almost like he has them on a lease which he can tug hard whenever it pleases him.

            I was wondering about that, because if the “painting” doesn’t sell, the photographer has no damages. About the only thing that a court can do in that case is enter an injunction and/or order Zimmerman to destroy the “painting.”

  13. I just added the following to Xena’s past article on “Prosecuting Hate Crimes” in reference to what the DOJ could use to build its case against GZ:
    ………………………………………………………..

    Let’s not overlook GZ’s effort to falsely attribute the word HOMIE to what he said were Trayon’s words to him.

    Twice in GZ’s FIRST interview, the interview that took place the SAME night that he killed Trayvon, GZ said that Trayvon used the word “Homie” in addressing GZ.

    February 26, 2012 Investigator Singleton’s interview with GZ:
    [audio src="https://216.58.158.174/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/audio_statement_0226_1.mp3" /]

    Timestamp 13:22

    Zimmerman: So, I was walking back through to where my car was and he jumped out from the bushes and he said, “What the F…ck’s your problem, HOMIE? And I got my cell phone out to call 911 this time.”

    Timestamp 22:30

    Singleton: And what did he say before that?
Zimmerman: Ah….
Singleton: You said he asked you like something about, he said you got a problem?
Zimmerman: He said “You got a problem, HOMIE?”

    This is proof that GZ attempted to falsely STEREOTYPE Trayvon Martin to Investigator Doris Singleton. Trayvon Martin’s generation does not use the term “Homie”.

    This represents proof along with GZ’s “f….ing c…ns” expletive on the NEN call that his killing Trayvon Martin IS a hate crime based upon racial hatred toward Black youth.

    GZ racially profiled and pursued Trayvon in anger.

    LLPapa in this video points out that the term “Homie” is outdated (not used by Trayvon’s generation):

      The main issue before the Florida Bar, according to Friday’s letter, was whether O’Mara knew the Zimmermans were taking in significant amounts of money via a fund-raising website when he questioned Shellie Zimmerman at an April 20, 2012, bond hearing.

      She told Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. that she and her husband were broke. In fact, they had collected more than $130,000 in donations.

          Just like the suit against NBC, Zimmerman needs evidence and to prove damages.

          When he killed Trayvon Martin, he was financially broke and unable to pay his bills, had failed to earn his college degree, and was looking for a career other than the one he had at Digital Risk. Because of his actions, the public paid his living expenses and fed him for over a year. He was actually in a better financial position after killing Trayvon than he was previously. Damages for defamation my foot!

    • Shannon, I don’t think there are any motions before the court, such as a motion to dismiss. Status hearings generally tell the court where the case is at, for instance, proceeding to discovery. The court would then enter a schedule for conducting discovery. Zimmerman is in a dangerous position because he cannot take a chance of being deposed while the federal government still has him under investigation.

      • “White guilt” is a phrase that carries many meanings in the circles that coined it. Those circles are White Supremacists and sovereign citizens.

        They believe that Whites voted for Barack Obama because of “white guilt.”

        Any association between Whites and Blacks, unless it’s a relationship of Blacks being oppressed, is said to be caused by “white guilt.”

        Blacks being employed, highly educated, living where they can afford, and freedom to go wherever they please, is said to be caused by “white guilt.”

        It’s a catch-all phrase applied to any and all situations after the Civil War to explain why Blacks have all rights and privileges as U.S. citizens and exercise those rights. In other words, the people who believe in “white guilt” are saying in a round-a-bout way that freed slaves would never have wanted to exercise freedom and leave plantations had it not been for “white guilt.”
