  1. but did sustain facial injuries from flying glass

    When I read that the first time, I thought it read, “but did sustain fatal injuries from flying glass.” Wishful thinking I suppose. I know; I’m bad.

  2. Zero chance this guy doesn’t die a violent death. Zero. There are Crips and Bloods and Number 3’s in Al Qaeda that have a better chance of dying of old age than he does.

  3. His mother really, really needs to make sure she has a black dress and black stockings in her closet at all times.

  4. …Whereupon the Life Insurance Association of America announced: “If you climb Everest every year, sky dive daily, and regularly scuba dive in shark tanks you have a better chance of getting life insurance than if you are George Zimmerman.”

  5. If we find out Zimmerman instigated this thing…then the other guy drops charges I’m going to be convinced someone is putting horses heads in all these victims beds.
