George Zimmerman apologizes in interview with Sean Hannity

[alp227]

Asked Wednesday night if he'd do anything differently the night he came face-to-face with Trayvon Martin and fatally shot the 17-year-old, Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman told a national television audience, no.

"I feel like it was all God's plans," he told Sean Hannity on Fox News in his first television interview since the shooting.

Zimmerman apologized again to Trayvon's parents, calling the shooting a tragedy.

"I would tell them that again I'm sorry. I don't have, my wife and I don't have any children. … I am sorry that they buried their child. I can't imagine what it must feel like, and I pray for them daily," he said.

1. Well yes, of course

God made him do it.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. I had a feeling he would claim Jesus as his own.

And the Right Wing would back him up.

[grasswire]

3. It was God's plan for Trayvon to be murdered?

Oh bushwah.

Outrageous.

[hamsterjill]

22. +1

And I feel it was most disrespectful for Zimmerman to say something like this!

4. guilty

5. So Zimmerman disobeying the dispatcher was "God's plans"?!

I guess it's always someone else's fault. Invariably, it is God's fault, since he make all the plans.

16. Great observation! n/t

[naaman fletcher]

6. I generally believe him

If you look at his life, he is the product of our fucked up society. An urge to be a cop.. to be accepeted by a society where his identity is not clear. So, he assumes an identity where he is accepted, and acts it out.

This does not excuse him at all.

I just don't think he is lying that he is sorry.

[zeemike]

19. No he is not lying about being sorry

But it is not about killing someone...it is about him having to take responsibility for it.
Sociopaths have no feelings for anything but himself and what they own and control. He is sorry that he can't get away with it.

7. I just watched that lame interview.....

How was Sean allowed to be defense attorney? what a croc.
Hannity did everything but pour chocolate syrup
on Zimmerman and lick him clean.

[Swede Atlanta]

9. Remember Sean...

shows very strong tendencies toward racism. He probably considers Zimmerman with his guns to be a hero figure.

[SoutherDem]

8. Guns don't kill people, God kills people?

Don't blame God, the gun or anything else.

The only person, thing or deity which killed Trayvon Martin is George Zimmerman.

10. Reminds me of when Hannity used to run P.R. for that cop who sodomized Abner Louima

Hannity used to have Justin Volpe and his family on the show often create sympathy for him, and he would demonize Louima as "Lyin' Louie."
Of course, Volpe ended up pleading guilty and Hannity never mentioned the story again or apologized to Louima.
It was Sean's "Tawana Brawley moment" and should always be brought up when he wades into cases like this.

11. The God Card.

The guilty usually save that one for death row.

[hamsterjill]

23. When he's convicted, I hope he remembers this.

If he's convicted, will that also be "God's plan" for him? If so, I hope he remembers his statement when he stands for his sentencing.

[uppityperson]

12. "I'm sorry I killed your kid but I'd do it exactly the same again" is an "apology"? W.t.f?

[permatex]

13. I'm finding it harder and harder to give this guy

benefit of innocent until proven guilty. Everytime he opens his pie hole, he inserts his foot in it.
He just needs to STFU.

[uppityperson]

15. There's a vid in Vid forum. Has he no clue this won't help at his trial? Seriously

After watching the video, all I can do is shake my head at why the hell did they let him do this? The more they let him talk, the worse it will be for him so I'm all for letting him talk now.

[agent46]

14. American Exceptionalism

taken to its logical conclusion. This guy is the new standard. He is media endorsed. Watch out!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. Apologize for following God's plan?

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What ?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done ?"
God says. "Out on Highway 61".



George was just heeding the voices in his racist little head. No need to apologize, a jury can talk louder.

20. Bald-faced LIAR

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Maybe god has a plan for George to spend some jail time.

[frylock]

24. hopefully god's plan also includes zimmerman getting his face caved in at the stripey-hole
