" George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of second-degree murder last year in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, plans to take up celebrity boxing and is on the lookout for an opponent, the website Radar Online reported.

Zimmerman, 30, linked to the Radar Online report in a post on his Twitter account with the words, "Here we go."

Promoter Damon Feldman is behind the celebrity boxing match, set to take place on March 1, according to Radar Online.

"Boxing isn't new to me," Zimmerman told Radar Online in an article posted on the celebrity news outlet's website last week."

Some guy is going to kill him in the ring.

[Avon Barksdale]

The Young Turks made a video about it. Apparently "The Game" really wants to beat the crap out of Zimmerman , Cant blame him though

Also here is the political commentary south park made on the whole incident.

[Cattle Rustler]

It'll be interesting to see how he does without a gun.

He's gonna drop faster than a bar of soap.

[Tail Gunner]

This guy should have left the U.S. and lived a life of obscurity somewhere.

Life is unfair, but you need to roll with the punches and make the best of the situation.

This story falls into the category of "WTF is he thinking?"

[Wutang]

Good thing it's not a MMA match cause Zimmerman's opponent would be screwed once he takes Zimmerman down and mounts him

[2Wycked]

Prediction: this thread gets locked.

Once again, if you haven't gone over the facts of the case, you don't deserve to have an opinion on the subject. Reading some tripe on DailyKos or whatever doesn't make you informed, it makes you an idiot.

[vinman]

I don't like his chances.

[speakeasy]

This guy is like the new OJ Simpson. Rather than hopping on the next plane out out of the country and living a quiet life out of the spotlight, he'd rather become a media attention-whore. He's gotten into trouble with the law twice since the incident. My prediction is he's eventually going to do something stupid and end up in prison regardless.

[WanderingSoul]

Out of the Tanya Harding playbook.

Dudes gone mad.

[KorbenDallas]

He has a ton of debt. Could be in his contract that he has to try and repay it before he can file for bankruptcy. I don't know how bankruptcy works or how having 1mil+ in debt works, but there is the fact that he has a lot of debt.

This is the side of winning an innocent verdict that everyone overlooks.

He's still fucked for just being accused due to the legal fees.

So of course he's doing this shit for the money. Even though he's free to court system still fucked his life.

He's thinking "you messed with the bull, you get the horns."

Never back down before the media. Never, never, never.

[Hencredible Casanova]

Looks like Zimmerman is going to be facing DMX.

Honestly, it's going to be pretty lame I think since it will be celebrity boxing style.

There will only be three 2-min rounds, and they'll be wearing headgear (lame).

Just getting caught up in a clinch can waste a lot of time.

Probably not worth watching.

[Wutang]

Is X gonna give it to him

[Aziz Nuts]

Zimmerman is a fatass, and DMX has an anger problem and smokes crack. You'd probably have to beat DMX 9/10 to death to make him stay down.

We don't know what happened that night. We don't know who initiated the physical struggle. We only have Zimmerman's side of the story---the only other witness to the totality of the incident was killed by Zimmerman.

Because Zimmerman's word is all we have---and the rule of the law is sacrosanct---Zimmerman's acquittal was probably the right move...but his history of violence and his behavior since the night of Trayvon's death DEFINITELY makes me question his version of events that fateful night.

I won't feel bad if he's beaten to a pulp in the ring.

[Agent 47]

Am i the only one here who wants him to win just so he can pull off the biggest troll job of the year???

It is gonna be guaranteed shenanigans if he wins.

Headline: X tried to give it to him, but he acted a fool and lost his cool. Zimmerman is the Ruff Ryder.

He's donating all proceeds from the fight to charity.

From what I understand, sympathizers from the internet had raised the necessary money to hire his attorneys in the first place.

He's also sold some painting since the trial, one of which fetched for 100K on eBay.

He would have been fucked if there was a civil suit but that never had any legs.

[Tex Pro]

I think Zimmerman wants to become a celeb. He got a taste of fame and now wants to milk it for all it is worth.

All the money will go to the save George Zimmerman Foundation, that's for sure.

Hopefully this doesn't go the distance or come down to a decision.....it'd be more entertaining if someone was stopped....dropped....

[CaliforniaSupreme]

DMX is going to beat the skittles out of Zimmerman.

Comments on news articles around the world are cheering for DMX to pummel the "criminal". I guess these people didn't bother looking into the background of DMX.

Quote:

Since becoming a public figure, DMX's multiple arrests have been for offenses including: animal cruelty,[30] reckless driving,[31] unlicensed driving, drug possession,[32] and identity falsification.[33]

1998-99

DMX was tried for rape and sodomy, sexual abuse, and unlawful imprisonment.[34][dead link] The case was dismissed when the DNA evidence did not match his own DNA.[35]
DMX joined rappers Jay-Z, Method Man, and Redman for Jay-Z's 1999 Hard Knock Life tour, during which he was arrested for charges of a stabbing at a tour stop in Boston, Massachusetts; he was cleared of the charge (and another assault charge during the same year in his hometown of Yonkers).
DMX and his wife were arrested in 1999 after his uncle (and then manager) was accidentally shot at a hotel in New Jersey, charged with animal cruelty and possession of crack cocaine and weapons.[36] DMX successfully plea-bargained, which reduced his sentence to paying fines, probation, and community service.
When officers of the Fort Lee Police Department executed a search of his home in 1999, DMX promptly surrendered himself on weapons possession charges.[37]

2000-05

DMX served a 15-day jail sentence in 2000 for possession of marijuana.[38]
Following a concert in Buffalo, New York in March 2000, DMX was arrested from a vehicle on New York State Route 33 in Cheektowaga, New York. He was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to signal, driving without a license, failure to notify the DMV of an address change, and possession of marijuana. He failed to appear at the subsequent hearing scheduled for March 21 in Cheektowaga, which lead to a warrant for his arrest. He later turned himself in, pled guilty to a reduced charge of driving without a license, and was sentenced to 15 days in jail and fined $400.
DMX served another jail sentence in 2001 for driving without a license and possession of marijuana. His appeal to reduce the sentence was denied; rather, he was charged with assault for throwing objects at prison guards. DMX entered rehab to treat his addiction to drugs in 2002.[39][40]
In June 2003, DMX was arrested for using indecent language during a performance at Saint Kitts and Nevis. The country's Information Minister alleged that a contract signed before the concert stipulated the show would be without indecent language on stage. DMX was released on $376 bail.[41]
DMX was arrested in June 2004, at the John F. Kennedy International Airport, on charges of cocaine possession, criminal impersonation, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, menacing, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, while claiming to be a federal agent and attempting to carjack a vehicle.[42] He was given a conditional discharge on December 8, 2004, but pled guilty on October 25, 2005, to violating parole.[43]
DMX was sentenced to 70 days in jail on November 18, 2005, for violating parole; the lateness charge added a 10-day extension to the original 60-day sentence.[44] DMX was released early (for "good behavior") on December 30, 2005.[45]

2008-11

DMX pled guilty to charges of drug possession, theft, and animal cruelty, at a hearing on December 30, 2008; he was sentenced to ninety days in jail on January 31, 2009.[46][47]
On May 22, 2009, DMX entered a plea agreement/change of plea, and pled guilty to attempted aggravated assault.
After serving four out of six months for violating drug probation, DMX was released from jail on July 6, 2010.[48] That day, a television pilot was filmed to portray his road to recovery; however, DMX was arrested three weeks later and the pilot did not evolve into a series.
On July 27, 2010, DMX turned himself in to Los Angeles Metropolitan Court for a reckless driving charge he received in 2002. He was sentenced to serve ninety days in jail.[49][50]
DMX was arrested in Maricopa County, Arizona on November 19, 2010, on charges of violating his probation by consuming alcohol (at a performance). On December 20, 2010, DMX was moved to the Mental Health Unit of the Arizona State Prison,[51] and released on July 18, 2011.[52]
DMX was arrested on August 24, 2011, for speeding (recorded as 102 mph in a 65 mph zone), reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license. While DMX admitted to speeding, he claims he was driving 85 mph, not 102 mph as charged.[53]

2013

DMX was arrested on February 13, 2013 in Spartanburg, South Carolina for driving without a drivers license.[54]
He was arrested again on July 26, 2013 in Greenville County, South Carolina and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, as well as driving without a license.[55]
DMX was arrested on August 20, 2013 in Greer, South Carolina during a traffic stop after a car he was a passenger in made an improper u-turn. He was arrested due to an outstanding warrant for driving under suspension. Four packages of marijuana were also found in the vehicle, and he along with the driver were cited for them.[56][57][58]
DMX was again arrested on November 4, 2013 by the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport police near Greer, South Carolina after police, who were familiar with his prior arrests, noticed DMX behind the wheel of a vehicle at the terminal. DMX was booked on charges of driving under suspension, having an uninsured vehicle, and not having a licensed vehicle. He was subsequently released after spending three hours in jail.[59]

This is just race bait tension to garner views. All liberals will side with DMX simply because he's black.
