George Zimmerman, the Florida neighbourhood watchman famously acquitted after killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has filed a lawsuit against Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg over tweets the presidential candidates posted to commemorate the shooting victim's birthday.
The lawsuit cited separate tweets both candidates posted on 5 February, the victims birthday, in which they call out issues of gun violence and prejudice in the US.
Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today, Mr Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, wrote in his tweet. How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?#BlackLivesMatter.
Ms Warren (DMA) said her heart goes out to the shooting victims family and friends, writing: He should still be with us today.
The senator added: We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our childrenespecially young Black boyscan grow up safe and free.
Though neither of their tweets so much as named Mr Zimmerman, the 36-year-old claimed in his lawsuit that Mr Buttigieg and Ms Warren were committing defamation with actual malice or at a minimum a reckless disregard for the truth.
The lawsuit was seeking $15,000 (11,524) in damages, while alleging the Democratic candidates wrongly connected the shooting victims death to gun violence.
Mr Zimmerman, who has long claimed self-defence after killing the unarmed black teenager, said Mr Buttigieg and Ms Warren posted the tweets as part of a political agenda to garner votes in the black community.

Zimmerman is a murderer in my mind, but is Martin really the person to martyr? I don't think he did anything worth dying over, but he wasn't squeaky clean either was he? Unless my interpretation of Martin is just completely off, there are certainly other victims of gun violence that would be better to champion.

Zimmerman could have disappeared from the the public eye and just remained a (very) controversial figure, but he's consistently doubled down and gone into piece of shit territory too many times to count now.

A victim doesn't have to be "squeaky clean" for their death (and the acquittal of their murderer) to be a huge injustice wtf

Possibly why he doesn't just fade out, knows once hes a nobody again he could be killed and it wouldn't even be a headline. Good chance they'd make him a martyr if he dies while still known

Yes, even the worst criminal can be unjustly killed, but people also won't generally take up the charge for someone who was a scumbag. Though looking at Wikipedia, it seems like he was just a punk who may or may not have committed robbery, so I might have been mixing up another case.

I mean I get she shut up and disappeared but the only reason she's not in prison is because the people doing the investigation were incompetent.

I really find it interesting how public opinion and media attention turned him from an average guy into a full on lunatic. He'd make an interesting psychological case study.

This is how I see it. If you want to make a statement about racism, great, but using the Martin/Zimmerman story is one of the worst examples possible given how very little we actually know about what happened, how controversial the story was, etc.

I don't understand how these politicians can be so clueless.
