Celebrity Boxing News

Fifteen thousand people have volunteered to fight non-convicted murderer, George Zimmerman, in a to be announced 'celebrity' boxing match. So far, a black rapper, DMX, appears to be the winning candidate. As long as they don't fight under Florida rules and Zimmerman is allowed to use a firearm, I guess it could be a more or less fair fight.

As much as I know about rappers that are not Jay Zee and have that one song I like, I had to look up DMX. Well, first I looked up DMZ. I didn't think that was right but, I gave it a google. Then, DMX hit me like I was a pasty, doughboyish murderer and I found a link. I still don't know his music. He's 43 so I guess his best rapping days are behind him. Not to mention Ice T beat him to the job of playing a cop on Law And Order and he's in his mid fifties. Zimmerman is 30 and used to fighting teenagers and women. So, good fight? Probably not. I remember when Danny Bonaduce was on WLUP in Chicago, he fought Donny Osmond in a celebrity boxing match of former teen stars. That made sense.

Danny v. Donny was fought on the radio(!) but, for charity. That is celebrity boxing. Bonaduce was a DJ for "the Loop" at the time and fresh off an altercation with a transvestite hooker in Arizona so he could fight women and men, at the same time. And lose. Donny is still a nice Mormon kid and always will be. Danny was in it to win it and I recall he made nasty remarks about Donny's sister, Marie. There was some video of the fight and, if you wanna see a MorMAN get mean, talk like he's fucking his sister. Yikes! Danny Partridge is an asshole.

This Zimmerman v. DMX does not make sense. It's sick. It'd be like- back in the day- pitting O.J. Simpson in a tag team match against a beautiful blonde and a handsome waiter. It's a freak show that solves nothing. It contributes to the decline of the American Empire.

It's some asshole entrepreneur's money-making venture though. Hopefully it fails and never gets off the ground and onto TV. I can appreciate that Zimmerman will never, ever, again have a normal life. Whatever he did for a living before he murdered Trayvon Martin, he can't go back to that or to anything that involves dealing with the public, especially the black folks public. So, he has to do stuff like this to make a living. These are the things you don't think about before you pull the trigger.

Speaking of Zimmerman and Stand Your Ground, it appears that stand your ground states have generally seen a rise in homicides and no greater decrease in crime than in states without such laws.

Keep paying attention to the 2 cases involving the entitled (by rights of gun ownership) in Florida.

1) the retired police captain codger in the movie theater.

AND particularly, in trial now:

2) the software developer Mike Dunn who hated loud music so much that he backed up his order to turn down the music and unloaded 10 rounds into the offending SUV.

See the surveillance video of his girlfriend in the store. Audio reveals that he sprayed half his rounds, had a pause, and finished.

THEN, the facts are that he and his girlfriend took off to their hotel and ordered/had pizza.

There was no weapon in the SUV in which the victim was killed.

I've read a bit about both. Unbelievable! When is our State Department going to issue Travel Advisories for Florida?
