hope folks do not pile on george
54,000 for a few weeks living expenses??
He could be putting up legal retainers and such.
"Hey, dude!, you're about to crack open my skull on this sidewalk!"
"Oh, wait, you're black. Carry on!"
Do you have any idea how difficult and expensive it is to line up multiple secure locations for yourself and your family?
Would you want to sit around your apartment or in Motel 6, unarmed, and watch as your family get attacked right before you get killed?
What does a legal defense fund have to do with bail? Apples and oranges.
>> Lester said he is also concerned about revealing the names of donors.
I’m proud to have donated to George Zimmerman.
And if some Holder’s SOB comes after me or my family because of it, well, I’ll be proud to take care of ‘em in accordance with TEXAS castle-doctrine and self defense laws.
Trade places with him. Think of the money you could make.
He was/is in hiding. I’m sure he had to buy a lot of new stuff for this.
Also, he has to pay $8.00/d for his GPS bracelet (heard this on the news).
He probably also had to pay for his previous legal advice lawyers.
Stuff adds up.
I figure this could happen to any of us any time self defense requires lethal force.
The "progressives" don't think that right should exist.
Are u a Dem troll or just naive ,
Legal retainers ,
24-7 security
PR advice to fight the Al and Jesse media assault. !
If this happened to you do you have the means to fight it?
We owe GZ thanks.
The persecutors want to limit zimmy’s finances for his defense.
That does not sound excessive at all to me. Security is probably very expensive, plus living on the run and in hiding can not be cheap.
If he can set up a fund in his father's name, so he will be technically indigent, and the state will pay for his attorney, I would be happy to contribute again and again to such a fund.
The government, who allowed this fiasco to escalate out of control, should be on the hook for his legal defense, and in a just world should be paying for his living expenses in hiding, and for round the clock security with 3 or 4 armed guards at every moment, plus a secure perimeter. Why no arrests of the bounty posters? But, the government is not going to pony up one thin dime for his living expenses or security. As far as they are concerned, if he is beaten to death by a mob, it would be a great outcome.
So, it is up to his friends and supporters to help Mr. Zimmerman. It will be years before he sees a nickel from NBCX, CBS, etc, but he still has to live during that time. Even if the charges are dropped, he will need constant protection.
Think about his townhouse. He can't live in it, and it is not really salable. Would you live at a address where a black mob could show up at any moment? I didn't think so. OTOH, the mob didn't tear up his mortgage. The bank still wants their payment. Think about what would happen to you if your house became unlivable and unsellable, but your payments continued.
Showing great courage and a real sense of morality, his employer fired him. He has no steady income, and who would hire him, even years from now?
If all the conservatives on FR contributed a few bucks each, we could help Zimmerman and stick a collective finger in the eye of the racist media and the racist government.
I think the point is to make it enough of a burden that they are not tempted to run.
