More armchair speculation: When Zimmerman claimed that Martin said "You're gonna die tonight MF'er"

[Duer 157099]

I'd bet that it was actually Zimmerman who said that, and the reason he told the cops that TM said it was 1) to give a reason for why he felt threatened, but more importantly 2) because just in case any witness overheard that comment. It sounds like something GZ would say, not something an unarmed kid would say.

GZ said to TM "You're gonna die tonight MF'er!" and then told the police that TM had said it. Because by that point he knew there were some witnesses who heard something going on, and he had to quickly explain away that comment.

Just speculation.

1. I don't think either one said it

It's too Hollywood bad movie line. It's just too silly to imagine anyone said it.

2. I don't know, it's much easier to imagine George saying it

and after all, it *did* come out of his head, one way or another. It sounds just like what a wannabe cop carrying a gun would say to a "suspect."

3. There are a lot of Hollywoodish lines

or scenes stated by GZ. This is certainly one of them. This guy must have some serious problems. His dad is a judge, yet they wouldn't hire him as a police officer in VA. He has almost 150 hrs of college credits from a community college, a two-yr school! Most BS degrees only require 120 hrs! Has he taken every class offered at the school in every discipline?

He has NO regrets about what happened that night! That in itself tells me he is not a properly-functioning human. He is a wanna be cop & I believe he decided when the last one "got away" that By God, he was gonna get the "next one". He was looking for a fight & packing heat for that very reason. This nut-case should have never been issued a gun permit, especially not a carry permit.
Wonder what we would have found out if he had to take a psychological test BEFORE being able to purchase a gun?

4. 150 hours from a communnity college is a lot of hours, without a degree.

Maybe it's not true. Maybe he switched majors. Maybe he's lying. I don't know.

But we do know his dad isn't a "Judge" (at least I think we know that). My understanding is that his dad used to be a magistrate in Virginia.

8. I stand corrected. However,

dad would still have had some political insider connections to help him in his quest to become a police officer, IMHO.

5. "Why are they doing this to me..."

In the trial of Green beret doctor McDonald, he said that his murdered wife Nicole was saying "Why are they doing this to me...". The prosecutor speculated that McDonald probably reported half-truth from Nicole's likely saying to him "Why are you doing this to me..."..

which sentence sounds more plausible?

6. I understand...

Which one out of the two had immediate access to a lethal weapon...why Zimmerman!!!

Trayvon, he only had access to a cell phone, a bag of candy and a can of tea...thus no access to a lethal tool.

Yeap...it was Zimmerman making the B-movie line famous.....not Trayvon.

7. I'm more inclined to believe that the murderer said it

pretty much for the reason you state
