Zimmerman doesn’t need to lose any more brain power.

DMX has been in several films where they have him as a martial arts fighter. He has filmed with Steven Seagal, he is very fast and would have wiped the floor with George who is a couch potato. Also, DMX has been in jail several times and he is not just tough in films he is a jail hardened tough guy.

DMX should be teaching George how to toughen up not fighting him.

That “fight” wouldn’t have ended well for GZ; he’s smart to have canceled it.

I have to say... On behalf of what’s left of western civilization, I’m relieved.

Yes, he WOULD have if he'd actually gone thru with the fight, but consider ... he just got a ton of free publicity at zero cost ... that's smart marketing.

Good. I hope it’s because somebody talked some sense into him.

Since when is doing a couple weeks in a county lockup for driving without a license and drug possession tough? Yeah, DMX is real hardcore. Guess that's why he was also arrested for animal cruelty. Takes a real tough guy to abuse an animal that is dependent on him.

If you’re referring to Zimmerman, I don’t think he’s “retarded”, rather i think that maybe all the stress of the trial and everything before may have messed him up.

Lie low, George. Move if possible. Definitely change your name, and get a quiet job somewhere under the radar.

He did nothing wrong, while the safe move maybe to hide, to paraphrase a movie, some things work harder on a man than fighting.

In the coming time when Christians are under assault, would you offer the same advice?

Going “full retard” is a quote from a movie.
