ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A judge in Florida has dismissed a defamation and conspiracy lawsuit former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman had filed against the parents of Trayvon Martin, the teen he fatally shot almost a decade ago in a case that drew international attention about race and gun violence.

Judge John Cooper in Tallahassee dismissed all counts against all defendants in the lawsuit filed by Zimmerman against Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin; attorney Ben Crump, who had represented the family; and others.

In his order, the judge wrote that Zimmerman had failed to show “any fraudulent representation” and said any further arguments in the case would be futile.

“There can be no claim for conspiracy to defraud if there is no adequately stated claim for fraud,” Cooper wrote in the order filed more than two weeks ago.

1. Please, Please, Please...

Make them pay for all court and attorney's fees. That would shut them up for a while......

[brush]

36. Make them pay? You mean zimmerman, right, not Martin's parents?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. That lawsuit was really bogus

[hlthe2b]

3. About time. Geez, how long has this torment gone on?

Keep adding to the bad karma, Zimmerman. It will catch up eventually.

[ificandream]

4. He's got fucking nerve to sue them...

[Solly Mack]

5. Fuck Zimmerman.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. Zimmerman was not engaged in "neighborhood watch"--he was a vigilante.

Or to be more accurate, he was a cold-blooded murderer.

[KT2000]

25. +1

[elias7]

6. If he had lost the initial trial, he might have a case, but he didn't

[Cha]

7. Asshole Lawsuit.

[ShazzieB]

8. This is the first I've heard of this lawsuit.

I had no idea that nasty little weasel was suing Trayvon's parents! How absolutely disgusting.

Some people have way too much nerve and not nearly enough brains for their own good!

[canetoad]

9. I'd almost forgotten about this maggot

Here's an update on his miserable existence.

George Zimmerman can’t outrun the Trayvon Martin shooting simply because he doesn’t want to. Zimmerman claims that the media won’t let him live a normal life, yet he’s the one that keeps resurrecting the case. George told The Daily Beast:

“If I have to live my life and if I have to go about my business as a normal person, then I would do that. However, I’m not afforded that luxury anymore. You guys. The media. The masses. The Fulton-Martin family. They took that from me.”

In a canceled November 2021 gathering dubbed the Lethal Force Gun Laws 2021 Tactics & Strategies Conference, Zimmerman was due to give a ‘step-by-step narrative’ of the events that led to Trayvon’s shooting.

10. That statement from him makes me want to puke. Trayvon is not afforded the luxury of going

about his business as a "normal person" either because you murdered him, asshole.

[GB_RN]

11. Uh, Yeah...No.

The media have nothing to do with it and no one took anything from you, you racist POS. Blaming the media for your own bad choices is so typical of the regressive/conservative mindset there, Zippy. Go fuck yourself.

[canetoad]

14. Someone in a link

Called him 'Racist McShootface'.

[GB_RN]

33. Not Bad...

I got “Zippy” from the late, great Bartcop. Been calling the fat, racist fuckstick that ever since.

[Grokenstein]

15. "The masses. The Fulton-Martin family. They took that from me."

Get a load of the unimaginable audacity of this speck of dog shit. Karma, I know you're busy but I hope you can move this clown up on your schedule.

[niyad]

21. Hang on a minute. . .paging Nemesis. Paging Nemesis. .Nemmie,dear cousin, could

you attend to this racist pos? Last week would be nice.

[canuckledragger]

19. Perhaps the murdering asshole shouldn't have murdered an innocent kid

If he doesn't like the negative attention he alone is responsible for receiving.

[pandr32]

29. He absolutely "shouldn't have murdered an innocent kid"

Karma needs to catch up with Mr Zimmerman.
I noticed the Canadian flag.

[jaxexpat]

17. Zimmerman is addicted to 15 minute fame aaaaaand......

he's also fond of the occasional donation notoriety has brought him.

[Johnyawl]

12. Zimmerman's a loser...

...I'm sure he filed that lawsuit because he's broke, and being ignored by the rest of the world. He had his 15 minutes of fame and now he's nobody. It's tough to hit your life's peak that young.

[pandr32]

31. Hopefully he doesn't plan a redo

He absolutely enjoyed all the attention and opportunity to play victim. The nut is a dangerous one and he'll look for someone who doesn't really pose any threat to him--like another kid.

[PatSeg]

13. My god, how low can he go?

Suing the parents of the boy you murdered? Speechless.

[Bristlecone]

16. That guy is a total scumbag.

[Collimator]

18. Gee, why doesn't he just. . .

Make up a bunch of hoodies with young Trayvon's face printed on them and a target fixed over the young man's image? That way he could be rich AND scummy.

(And yes, awful people would buy them. You know that they would.)

[calimary]

22. Oh GOOD!

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Got away with murder.

[Mr.Bill]

24. Good!

This guy just needs to go away.

[twodogsbarking]

26. Piece of dog excrement.

[Joinfortmill]

27. Zimmerman is a disgusting, entitled, do nothing, know nothing, murdering pig.

Sorry DU, I couldn't help myself.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. What a jackass!

[iluvtennis]

30. Zimmerman murdered Trayvon and has the gall to sue Trayvon's parents. Zimmerman needs to

just disappear.

[FakeNoose]

32. The lawyers who represent Zimmerman need to be DISBARRED

Make an example of them for this nuisance frivolous lawsuit that also happens to be RACIST in nature.

Please Judge Cooper!

[live love laugh]

34. Piece of 💩

[C Moon]

35. People are forgetting about him, so his money is probably draining.

What next, murderer? Rob a bank? Go ahead: you got away with murder, maybe you'll get away with robbing a bank.
