Inside forum joke if you remember Kasey Chang's old WTF?, people doing stupid shit threads.

Wasn't trying to be a jerk, but I can see how it might look that way.

Edit - I'm sorry, if it wasn't clear. I just think of it like curved swords or the krimnal sopina as I've only ever associated it with the forum. ..

Oh yeah? Well your state looks like a penis.

Jag, why don't you get angry like this? This is fun.
First, your line is clearly less personally insulting.
Second, there's no need to drag Jag into this. We don't need a consensus on whether I'm being a titty baby. I don't think it's some deeply held conviction of PK's, and I have no serious expectation he'll even consider my feelings the next time this old chestnut starts to roll out (even Fark quit beating that horse FFS).
I don't expect an apology, but it was starkly banal and nakedly contemptuous, so I threw a red flag. Carry on.

You got one anyway. Sometimes what sounds innocent in my internal voice is anything but, especially in writing without queues. I can also be rather esoteric in my non-attributed throw away references.

Self defense?
A man who made a 911 call on behalf of a motorist who was involved in a shooting with George Zimmerman said the man told him he "had to shoot."

The unidentified man in the 911 call released Tuesday made the call on behalf of Matthew Apperson. Apperson was involved in the shooting with the former neighborhood watch leader in the Orlando suburb of Lake Mary on Monday.

The caller tells a dispatcher that Apperson says he was forced to shoot Zimmerman and that Apperson is requesting that police officers respond.

Documents also released Tuesday show that detectives are investigating the shooting as a possible aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. No charges have been filed.

Stay classy, George:
The Florida gun store that declared itself a “Muslim-free zone” is now selling prints of the Confederate battle flag—painted by none other than George Zimmerman.

Florida Gun Supply came under fire in July after owner Andy Hallinan declared his Inverness store a “Muslim-free zone” on YouTube. “I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots,” Hallinan said in the video. In response, the Council on American-Islamic Relations sued.

“George started painting an American Flag on this canvas, but heard about Andy getting sued by CAIR (the Counsel for American/Islamic Relations) while he was working on the painting,” the gun supply store’s site said. “George decided to scrap the original American Flag painting and repaint it with a Confederate (Battle) Flag.”
...
The print is going for $50 on the site, with the two splitting proceeds to “support their legal funds, living expenses, and advancing their mission to change the country. A percentage of proceeds will also go directly to the Boys and Girls Club to help the support the next generation.”

WaPo
George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watchman who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012, filed a $100 million lawsuit Wednesday against the teen’s family, a publishing firm and a law enforcement agency for defamation and “malicious prosecution."
...
Zimmerman, tried and acquitted of homicide charges in 2013, now claims police and prosecutors conspired with Martin’s family to fabricate a narrative that cited what the Sanford, Fla., man alleges was false evidence.
...
The attorney who represented Martin’s family, Ben Crump, went on to write a book titled “Open Season: Legalized Genocide of Colored People," which was published by Harper Collins in October. Both Crump and the publisher are named defendants on the lawsuit. Joining them is Fulton, Martin’s father Tracy Martin, witnesses in the case, various members of the prosecution team and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
...
The allegations in Zimmerman’s lawsuit are based largely upon a book and film released in September that claims the Martin case was a “hoax” built upon “witness fraud.” The director of the film, Joel Gilbert, planned to screen the film Thursday at the Coral Gables Art Cinema to coincide with the lawsuit announcement.

But responding to criticism it faced for hosting the event, the theater tweeted Wednesday that it “was not aware of all the details surrounding this event and has made a decision to cancel it.”

The lawsuit claims all defendants “have worked in concert to deprive Zimmerman of his constitutional and other related legal rights.” Zimmerman is represented by Larry Klayman, an ardent conservative who founded the right-wing group Judicial Watch before splitting with them in 2003.
...
Most recently, Zimmerman was arrested in 2018 on charges he cyberstalked and harassed a private investigator working with film producer Michael Gasparro and Jay-Z on a documentary series about Trayvon Martin. The private investigator told deputies that Zimmerman called him 21 times, sent him 38 text messages and left him seven voicemails, all within two and a half hours. Z

Newsweek
George Zimmerman is suing Democratic presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren, claiming they defamed him while paying tribute to Trayvon Martin in order to "garner votes in the black community."

According to a lawsuit filed in a Florida court, both Warren and Buttigieg acted with malice or "at a minimum a reckless disregard for the truth" after they tweeted about Martin on February 5 on what would have been his 25th birthday.

It's an interesting case. I think Zimmerman is scum, but he was acquitted. Is it slander for candidates to call him a white supremacist?

A) No one mentioned Zimmerman directly.
B) No one actually stated that Martin's death was actually due to white supremacy
"My heart goes out to [Martin's mother] @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today," Warren tweeted to her 3.7 million followers. "We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children-especially young Black boys-can grow up safe and free."

In a tweet to his 1.7 million followers, Buttigieg added, "Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today. How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?"

Today, public figures as well as public officials must prove that a defamatory statement was published with knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth.
UPI, 2014
A Florida judge ruled Monday that George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Martin, is a public figure, dismissing his libel suit against NBC News.
...
She said he had been a public figure since 2010, when he protested the slow response by Sanford Police to an incident where a white officer's son broke the nose of a black homeless man.
