George Zimmerman Says Killing Trayvon Martin Was 'All God's Plan'

did a search and nothing came up. The only reason i put it in this section is because the reference to God..im just curious about some of your thoughts.

God's plan, huh??
abcnews.go.com...

George Zimmerman, accused of second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, told a television interviewer Wednesday that he would not have changed the circumstances leading up to the shooting and that he viewed the entire incident as "God's plan."

Earlier in the interview, when Hannity asked Zimmerman if he regretted the specific actions of carrying a gun or getting out of his car to follow Martin that February night, the neighborhood watchman said that he didn't.

"I feel that it was all God's plan, and for me not to second guess it or judge it," he said, trailing off.

You know what I find hilarious and ironic. How many people that have complained on here about the entire Zimmerman and Trayvon tragedy, yet these threads continue to pop up and people continue to eat up the bigotry in them. You know, if you want this whole issue to go away, then you ignore it. The only way to make something go away is to not acknowledge it. I, personally, am sick and tired of these Zimmerman/Trayvon threads. It's garbage, and really, there are more pressing matters in this world than a man who shot and killed a teenager in (maybe) self-defense. You weren't there, neither was I, but people are way too clouded by emotional judgement rather than looking at facts and keeping a level-head about this issue.

It is ridiculous and I wish ATS were intelligent enough to see it for what it is and just let it go to the courts, while we focus on actual news and actual significant things that happen in this world (not just one isolated incident that happened months ago in Florida).

And yeah, this has been posted before.

I think he’s right - It was God's plan for him and everything happens for a reason.

And if he’s found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, that too will have been God’s plan for him.

you have a very valid point...but i dont want to keep adding on to this thread since its been made already...

is there a way for me to delete my own threads?

When is Zimmerman's trial?

I don't care what his verdict is, I'm just tired of hearing about this case.

I doubt you will stop hearing about this for a long time. Look at OJ, Casey Anthony, and every other media circus trial.... Still mentioned today, you never hear the end of it.

My thoughts are that religious nuts always find a way to justify whatever they do as being gods plan, or justified in the bible or koran or whatever.

That's what inevitably comes when you believe there is some objectiely all-powerful being telling yuo waht to do and you are not actually responsible for your own actions.

He won't be, and everyone here is taking him out of context. He was just saying he didn't have any regrets. I wouldn't either if I was defending my life.

I am surprised it isn't obvious to everyone yet, that he is innocent of murder. I guess some people really want this case to be something that it is not (and the MSM appreciates those people very much).

I don't think he is a religious nut in the least bit. I think he was playing to his audience and saying exactly the right thing. The OP took him out of context. He was just saying everything that happens is "God's plan." Smart move and also indicative of an innocent person to have no regrets.

Neither would I in his shoes!

I don’t think he’s guilty of murder. I think he was attacked, I think he feared for his life and I think he did what he thought he had to do. I’m doubtful that he will be acquitted based on the level of outrage being generated by the black community (white guilt in effect) but I do believe he is innocent of murder.

All I said was that I do believe that what HAS happened and what WILL happen is God’s plan for him.

If you believe in God then you must believe this is true. Simple.

I'm sure it was "God's" plan.

But the God was a nasty one...
