we'll see. I still feel something fishy is going on. This murderer is not this stupid, is he? If this is true and, more importantly happens, I hope zimpig gets fucked up and lives in physical pain the rest of his natural life.

No one will really get hurt, just rich.

If I were DMX, I would seriously have a motivation beyond money to really, REALLY hurt this guy.

admiration of bigoted gun fanciers everywhere.

Maybe a free flight to wherever its supposed to happen.

he *will* be getting something he wants from this fight: more attention, and possibly even some praise from his erstwhile fans in wingnut land.

could a murdering pig like this be deemed a 'celebrity'. Only the media and those who fancy zimpig as the protector of their right to kill anyone and everyone that make them 'stand their ground' could create this travesty. What a fucked up country.

It might be unhealthy just how badly beaten I want that fucking scumbag.

This continues to be the most disgusting spectacle I've ever seen in the MSM.

(IMO murderer) killer of a 15 y.o. boy be considered a "celebrity."
The corporate controlled M$M, under direction of TPTB will do anything to prevent (those capable) Americans of considering the real
and worsening problem(s) that is destroying our country...inequality.
"They" air (totally unrealistic) "reality shows" and bestow the title of "celebrity" on killers, thieves and liars and then throw them into the "reality" mix.
The propaganda and their ignoring of the actual reality (poverty) that the majority of us face daily, makes them eligible for an "enabling award" that I believe, we the people, should start presenting to these cretins who are, in most cases, the babysitters of our youth. Mom and/or Dad are too busy trying to support their families (in many cases) or self medicating their psyche's, to connect with their children, let alone "entertain" them as the tee vee claims to do.
To "entertain" people, especially our children, with "reality shows" that bear no resemblance to their realities, is propaganda that is only hurting peoples ability to actually think or take rational action against true reality.
I do not believe that most Americans know the difference between famous and infamous.
Reagan had some great advice from his wealthy handlers when he had the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE made ineffective.
Amazingly, it took 30+ years and a corporate Constitutional Scholar to have the term "Fairness" completely removed from the FCC charter.

"To "entertain" people, especially our children, with "reality shows" that bear no resemblance to their realities, is propaganda that is only hurting peoples ability to actually think or take rational action against true reality.

Very well said. You should expand these ideas into an OP.

for a debate between Bill Nye (the Science Guy) and a "creationist" is proof that determined ignorance just does NOT want to give up. There should be a reality show for science vs creationists.

Boxing is the only sport I enjoy, or watch.

I hope it is not on pay per view.

Does anyone know any details ????

P.S. I am still in mourning over the retirement of the great Joe Calzaghe.

Head protection and 24 oz gloves, 2 minute rounds.

I'd watch if they went old school, bare knuckle. No time limit and not over until someone doesn't get up.

As far as I know it is going to be pay-per-view.

I live in extreme poverty.

I will not be able to see it.

Sorry about your poverty.

I will count myself lucky, to not see it.

lol

Zimmerman just might whip that ASS!!! you heard it here first

Wished he had picked The Game

...nt

no pun intended. DMX probably won't train himself properly and will be drugged out. I would rather it be the GAME. Maybe the GAME can kick Zimmerman's brothers ass, that is another one I'd love to see..

He won't have his gun and he is impotent with out it.

Say he was a 0.5 on a scale from 0 to 10?

Poetic Justice.

Zimmerman can pull a gun, shoot him, and claim SYG.

I'm sure he'll want to kill Zim.
But there is still something sleazy and wrong about this.
The murder of the boy was real but it's feeding a money making circus and does nothing for his loved ones.

It is a staged event so that both can make a lot of money.

there will be really heavy gloves, head gear and short rounds; but the punching will be real. I doubt that DMX would agree to pulling his punches, as happens in "real" celebrity bouts where the celebrities have something to lose by getting bruised up.

Plus, DMX will go all out because how's he gonna explain to his crew that he let Zimmerman whip his a$$? Zimmerman might be fighting for a pay-day; DMX is fighting for a pay-day AND to maintain his street cred.

This whole thing makes me want to take a shower. Step into the ring with him and you've already lost.

of how the Roman politicians would throw "gladiators", Christians and lions into the arena to (successfully) take the minds of their citizens off of their (perceived) hopelessness.

He already knows how.

no doubt thinking, "Yeah ... I'll fight the doped up, washed up rapper" (to play up the "thug" thing).

But I think he's making a mistake. I've seen DMX go (outside a Phoenix night club). Though he was clearly wasted, I must say ... DMX is pretty nice with his hands!

I'm 50+, but still wouldn't take on Roberto Duran or Ali, even with their known health issues.

Besides, Zimmerman has fought in gyms ... DMX on the street.

but i really hope dmx ivan drago's that fuck

from a teenager? I still believe in Karma...he'll get his some day.

I don't know that GZ has never abused an animal. He sure hits his women, beats up iPads, assaults cops, shoots teenage boys, and socks old men in the face, so I think he's any anything goes type of guy.

I think it is sad that this is happening. It is sad that George Zimmerman gets even more attention. It is also sad that people like DMX and others want to fight Zimmerman thinking they are doing it in honor of Trayvon Martin. Fighting with and beating George Zimmerman does not honor the memory of Trayvon Martin. I wish there was a way to stop this fight.

On second thought, make sure the fight is NOT held in Florida, otherwise guns WILL be allowed.

A man who gained celebrity by murdering a child through racism and either stupidity or evil is fighting a celebrity boxing match.

He should fight Iron Mike Tyson.

the thought of this makes me

We were all so concerned about his well-being.

And I'm supposed to cheer DMX? Fuck that. Zim is making $. This is a boxing match joke. Fuck everyone involved. Anyone donating proceeds to TM's family??

I don't know this person fighting him or what he's done, as long as he kicks his ass.

Trayvon Martin's family.

...nearly all of it will be used to pay for medical bills. Because DMX is going to f*** him up!

That way, he can exercise his right to stand his ground.

and/or cash.

Trash act for a trash audience making light of a young mans death.

If you were a black guy who had the chance to pound the living shit out of George Zimmerman, wouldn't you take it?

DMX is going to hit Zimmerman so hard his nose is gonna be on the back side of his head.

the trial, he doesn't have history with this issue but he's using it due to a flagging career.

Given that, any black guy with decent fighting skills, which describes DMX, is going to pound Zimmerman very thoroughly.

.. great for him

those tour dates are set months in advance and screwing ticket holders and event organizers out of the money they spent isn't the right thing to do. Plus, concerts are the way musicians make their money since CDs and record deals has so many people getting their cuts before a musician gets his dimes & nickels.

I guess what is important is what was he doing when the shooting & aftermath since many of the people that expressed outraged probably didn't realize a trial is going on. If that is hard to find because I don't think Facebook or Twitter goes back that far, I'm sure he expressed some sort of opinion whether it was in private or not.

I'm not really defending him because this whole event causes me to even question reality and if I'm dreaming all this, you can't write this kind of thing. Truth is stranger than fiction. I think everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves but asking the question, who wants to fight Zimmerman should get a lot of responses and will attract people who wants to see the prospect of Zimmerman "getting what's coming to him" and while DMX may be upset over the shooting, I believe he sees it as more of an opportunity to getting back at the system that has "kept him down" multiple times for drugs, DUI, and animal cruelty.

of his, the first CDs anyway, and I don't want to think he didn't realize the stakes of the trial.

He might be a bit too into his gangster mentality but I think he got a lesson on how the public feels!

My issue with rap is some of the best rap songs are performed by the best rap artists who have a lot of other songs that talk about murder, talking shit, homophobia, etc. (Troublesome '96 is one of the most creative and passionate songs about murder) When I was younger, I thought it was all cool but I became mature and think murder is very serious stuff and very against it, including state-sanctioned homicide. I don't wade through it all to find the positive (or songs that talk about the realism rather than turning it into glorifying and outright threatening to murder other rappers) stuff when the rappers that stay away from being homophobic & misogynistic aren't very good.

I really hope DMX gets his life in order as I could sense from some of his songs he has a heart and wants improved conditions and also understand he's been dealing w/ bi-polar which I don't know what is like. I know there are highs and lows but no inbetweens but don't know what it is like to actually have it.

Zimmerman is one celebrity short.


rocktivity

Cause if he doesn't have Satanic symbols all over his body what is the point? ...

A worthless piece of excrement just like Zimmerman. Fuck 'em both.

Rapper DMX held on animal cruelty, drug charges

(CNN) -- Rapper DMX was arrested Friday on drug and animal cruelty charges after attempting to barricade himself inside his Arizona home, sheriff's deputies said.

DMX, 37, whose real name is Earl Simmons, faces seven misdemeanor animal cruelty charges and four felony drug possession charges, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

He was apprehended at his home in Cave Creek, Arizona. A news release from the office also said deputies were serving a search warrant at the Mayo Clinic in nearby Scottsdale, Arizona, involving possible fraud charges involving the rapper.

According to sheriff's deputies, five pit bull mix puppies were taken from the rapper's home by an animal control unit and will be taken to to a jail where they will be cared for by female inmates.

Makes the whole spectacle even more obscene.

...one of those "so bad it's good" Steven Segal movies, featuring DMX...but after that story came out I can't stand the sight of him.

It would do nothing but ad to his reputation. He'd be a hero in prison, and his music would sell out everywhere.

He has staged a large number of these "celebrity" matches in the past. Apparently, Zimmerman isn't getting anything as it's all going to charity (they didn't say what charity). They also interviewed a proposed opponent, The Game, a 6' 5" rapper. When the TMZ host asked if The Game's goal was to knock Zimmerman out, he came back with a great answer (paraphrasing so sorry if it's not exact): "A goal is something like getting a college or university degree. This is going to happen". The promoter's going to make a fortune on this, I think, because people want to see Zimmerman destroyed.

And Zimmerman' s no celebrity

meegbear

I hope mr Zimmerman get what he deserve in that match... And I also hope, he have to go all the rounds before the last light goes out of him...

What are their body weights?

n/t

...but now that it's becoming a reality, I disapprove of Z'man profiting from the death of Trayvon.

TYY

You do not get to become anything anyone wants to see, anywhere, at anytime, by killing a child. He should be shunned by the entire human race. Not promoted.....
