Petition to STOP the Zimmerman Fight

[Heather MC]

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-george-zimmerman-and-promoter-damon-feldman-using-murder-racial-hate-america-profit/0yVh1nVD

in addition the entire idea of this event is to use racial tensions to lure people in to purchase the event. this will only hurt America as it will continue to stir up racial tensions that have been on going in this nation for quite some time.

No Promoter or Celebrity Boxer should ever be allowed to use racial tension to profit.

It is sad that a guy who gained notoriety for killing someone is now considered a Celebrity

1. I wonder how many the approached before they got to DMX

I also wonder how it will go; will it be scripted or will it be genuine?

2. I bet they just went to the Rejected Celebrity Rehab wannabes closed their eyes and threw a rock

and it hit DMX in the head.

4. They didn't approach anyone. More than 15,000 people applied to kick his ass.

He said last week that he was accepting offers for someone to step into the ring for a three-round, pay-per-view fight with Zimmerman.

"The news has been out for an hour and my e-mail is overloaded with 8,000 people wanting to fight George," Feldman told CNN on Thursday.

Early Wednesday morning, he said he'd picked the contender. Out of more than 15,000 e-mailed requests, he's going with DMX.

6. I stand corrected nt

7. Scripted.

Feldman's stuff usually is.

9. If it's scripted who wins? Who would want Zimmerman to win?

DMX was probably picked as being a scary guy, maybe, so maybe the point is to show Zimmerman beating up a black guy? But if that really is the point, that's pretty terrible.

If the point is that Zimmerman finally gets what's coming to him that seems like it would have more appeal.

3. Wait..... people are petitioning the President to stop a boxing match from taking place?

Under what even remotely plausible legal scenario would Obama be able to stop this fight from going ahead? Does everyone who signed this petition pretty much want the president to rule like a king, being able to do whatever he pleases?

[PeaceNikki]

5. Yes, and we want him to build the Death Star, too.

WH petitions are, in many cases, silly.

10. Petition are stupid but this is more about the attention I guess

Perhaps if people hear about the Petition they might think twice about support Zimmerman.

I signed a million impeach Bush Petitions, I lost all faith in Oline petitions

8. I'd be interested to see how that law is written...

"No one may profit from racial tension..."

11. That would put an entire politcal party out of Business
