After being cleared by the DOJ, the man too strong for this thread sticks his neck back out to talk about religion and Obama “turning people against him”:

George Zimmerman in a recent interview accused President Barack Obama of a “dereliction of duty” by using “racially charged comments” to divide the public against him during his murder trial.

Although Zimmerman turned down many requests for interviews after he was acquitted for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, he spoke to his divorce lawyer about the case in an interview recorded earlier this month.

“I feel that now is the perfect time to speak my mind without fear of retaliation by the president, the attorney general, the federal government etc.,” Zimmerman explained. “Initially I was extremely alleviated. Quickly that turned into realization that the Department of Justice finding that there was no basis to pursue [federal] charges was just the beginning of a journey — my personal journey — to correct the wrongs that the federal government did. To ensure that it never happens to any innocent American ever again.”

The US government gives billions of dollars to terrorists all over the world ever year, they cant just give a bored soldier/agent 50k to bump this guy off?

But it’s Florida! If you start sending the message that you can’t act like Zimmerman in Florida, then Floridians might as well start moving out of state, and I’m sure we don’t want that.

Man, they starting them young in Florida.

There are so many things wrong with that…i don’t know where to start. Dammit, Florida. I remember when food fights used to be fun…

Mutant mosquitoes, killer snails, and now hybrid super termites.

He still doesn’t have his “Stand Your Ground” themed fastfood joint.

Bringing “God’s plan” into it…told you guys he was crazy.

What Zimmerman did wasn’t illegal, though, and was exonerated in court. He should be able to put his life together.

SF2GuileX · March 29, 2015, 7:36pm

He is no better off than he was before the shooting. Still in debt, still threatening women. Nothing has changed. Maybe after his wife shakes him down throughout the divorce, he can get his life together.

You know all those stories where humans accidentally create a monster that eventually runs amok and destroys everything? That cautionary tale is playing out in real-time in Florida right now. With termites.

In a new study published in PLOS One scientists found that two incredibly invasive species of termite, the Formosan subterranean termite and Asian subterranean termite, have started breeding, giving birth to a new race of super-strong, highly adaptable termites that are itching to devour your hardwoods. And it’s all our fault.

The two termite species, which originated in separate areas of Asia, spread across the world by hitchhiking in cargo holds. There are only three places in the world where both species have a foothold: Hawaii, Taiwan, and South Florida, but usually the ants’ mating seasons don’t overlap. In Florida, the Asian subterranean termite mates in February, months before the Formosan. But in both 2013 and 2014 researchers observed both species mating at the same time, producing large broods of hybrid termites. The researchers note in the paper that both years had warm winters in Florida, hinting that climate change could have forced the change in mating season.

Hybridization between invasive species is a very rare occurrence according to the researchers, who are waiting to see if the first generations of hybrids can reproduce. If they can, the worst case scenario would be a new kind of termite capable of thriving in climates from North Carolina to Brazil, Thomas Chouvenc, author of the study told Live Science.

But even if they can’t reproduce, this new pest could still pose a huge environmental problem. Even if they don’t reproduce, a colony of hybrids could contain millions of termites, which could live for up to 20 years, chewing their way through farms and cities. It’s a classic case of ‘if you build it, they will probably already be there, gnawing on your two by fours.’

Once Florida realizes the most Florida thing to do, then he’ll have his life together.

this time it was the picture that makes it worthy. one guy decked out in his,“Keep them damn bees off me!” gear. The cameraman? Shorts and a short sleeve shirt, as if to say,“I know they’re bees, but IDGAF.”

I don’t know anyone who leaves Outworld for Earth Re-uh, Florida for other states. Everybody is always coming HERE from other states.

It’s like a (flaccid, dick shaped) sponge soaking up the crazy from the other states.
