I don’t know, I saw some hero worship around here for Zimmerman. Some folks seemed hurt when he further proceeded to step on his crank after his ordeal in FL.

Divorces are usually messy, even without media scrutiny. Beyond that, what are you referencing? Speeding? Most people speed, at least the ones who pass me like they’re headed to a fire. He saved a whole family’s life soon after being exonerated and the people were so afraid they couldn’t even thank him publically. Did you forget about that?

Look, if George’s father had been Peruvian, and his mother white, he wouldn’t have had a name that indicated he was white. In that case, the Trayvon Martin case would have had about as much publicity as the one-thousand and second black-on-black killing that happened halfway between Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. But with a last name of “Zimmerman,” it was easy to label him a “white Hispanic,” and we were off to the races.

So the whole point of the Zimmerman trial was not George Zimmerman at all - it was white people in general. Therefore, it made perfect sense for us to look at the question of whether he got a raw deal from the justice system. Other than that, George Zimmerman was, and still may be, a Democrat. IOW, not necessarily the brightest bulb in the pack. But that wasn’t relevant to the Trayvon Martin issue.
