This Zimmerman story sadly follows the plot of To Kill A Mockingbird. Zimmerman is falsely accused of committing the crime to provide cover for an unfortunate, in this case tragic, event that caused harm and embarrassed a community. The racist mob (the media, Obama, Sharpton, et al.) repeatedly wants to lynch Zimmerman (Tom from TKAMB) but the steadfast O'Meara (Atticus) proves beyond a doubt that he is not guilty of a crime even though the act was committed. In this version, the jury is not racist and the accused is exonnnerated because he is innocent. The mob wants revenge and is hell bent on and taking it. No doubt the Bob Ewell of this version (Sharpton?) is desperate to save face. I just hope there are a bunch of Boo Radley's out there to save the next innocent targets as the mob lashes out.
Sorry for the vanity, but thought some might like to see the similarity.
Good one, hog.
One major difference -— Atticus Finch LOST his case.
so who is Scout ???
Mark O’Meara is a professional golfer.
Mark O’Meara is a golfer. Mark O’Mara was GZ’s lawyer.
Well put.
Beat me by 75 seconds.
Slow backswing, fast downswing.
Actually there is no such person as Atticus Finch. He was a fictional character.
I see the similarities.
He’s a golf pro and a defense lawyer?
Isn’t he a TV minister too?
When does this guy sleep?
allegory, my friend, allegory
grayhog, said the exact same thing to family and friends last week. Difference being instead of a small town being part of a lynching, a large part of the whole country played part in lynching an innocent man.
And we could see it all in real time.
I did feel like I was sitting in the gallery fanning myself and shaking my head through this whole thing.

Late to agree, but I thought the exact same thing, especially after his press conference where he blasted the MSM. Its a bit of an exaggeration but the situation is certainly similar.
Tonto’s Horse!
“Daggummitt”, Coach Bowden.
Scout is the nickname of the (12 year old ???) daughter of Atticus...
I wondered who in the Zimmerman case was in the place of Scout...
