George Zimmerman is a God Warrior!

A few new details have come out in the case of George Zimmerman that I think ought to be brought to light in this community.





For one, Zimmerman and his lovely wife commmitted perjury!

This is particularly relevant as it shows a. a disrespect for the law, and b. George Zimmerman is perfectly happy lying when it suits his needs. Given that he is the sole witness to the murder that should cast some serious doubts on his inconsistent story!

Or is he the only witness?

Then of course is the revelation that Zimmerman sexually assaulted his cousin for more than a decade. Why is a sexual assault relevant to Zimmerman's second degree murder charge? Amanda Marcotte of Slate puts it well;

"In fact, accusations like these are completely relevant for two major reasons. The first is that, as feminists have been saying for decades now, sexual assault isn't really just a matter of someone's horniness overtaking him and causing him to pig out on a woman's body as if he hasn't eaten all day and she's a piece of cake shoved in front of him. Sexual abuse is a form of bullying, a violent crime whose pleasure for the attacker is far more about enjoying their power and dominance over the victim than it is about sexual urges. Subsequently, sexually violent men tend to be more violent generally, particularly against people they believe are lesser or weaker. If you're trying to establish that Zimmerman had it in him to hunt down and murder a teenager who is much smaller than himself, than a history of sexual assault does help demonstrate this.

Also: A lot of the prosecution's case depends on establishing whether or not Zimmerman is a glib liar who is capable of viciously attacking people and then playing the innocent "who me?" card while insinuating that the victim was asking for it. Pretty much all men who sexually assault women have developed an ability to do this; part of the routine of a rapist is terrifying and hurting someone only to convince the community to embrace him after the fact and write off the victim as hysterical, a liar, or a slut trying to cover her tracks. We know that most sexual assailants are repeat offenders—indeed, this is what the accuser in this case is claiming of Zimmerman—which means they have a lot of opportunities to practice playing innocent and blaming the victim after they've committed the crime. If the prosecution wants to establish that Zimmerman is the kind of guy who is capable of assaulting and even murdering someone and then playing innocent victim, a history of cutting his teeth as a sexual assailant helps establish that narrative."

Oh and his cousin also claims that his entire family has a bit of a problem with the blacks! Surely that will help out if there is to be a federal hate crime charge and conviction

Of course Zimmerman doth protest

How has the latest information affected your opinion in the case? Is any of this new information relevant in your mind to the case? Was Trayvon Martin's murder all part of God's plan???

Well no shit. He could plead the 5th all day but that wouldn't really help his self defense case would it?
