Half the country thinks he murdered or set into motion a chain of events that resulted in a 17 year old getting shot to death.
The last statistic I saw said that, after seeing the facts in the trial, %75 believe him to be innocent.

Nope but I've been on this site a long time, and lots of discussions about topics and ideas are just that "ideas" people's thoughts. That's still okay here right??? or do we all have to march in line with the majority opinion.
In my opinion which I'm quite free to have last I checked... this smells way funny... like Osama's body being tossed at sea

Sadly that is what it has become. Now you get lambasted for not following the popular opinion.
All of this smells like a BS PR stunt aided by the sandford police department...the same police department that refused to arrest George Zimmerman for 44 days
While we have no way of knowing what Zimmerman's overall relationship to the department was, it is pretty safe to say that publicly demanding that the Police Chief lose his pension and accusing the department of covering up a crime is not the action of a man looking to endear himself with the department.
1. The Sanford Police Department said the 29-year-old was one of two men who helped the family trapped inside their overturned Ford Explorer at the intersection of I-4 and route 417 in Florida on Thursday evening. It is Zimmerman's first known public sighting since the verdict was announced on July 13.
2. It’s being reported that Zimmerman has saved a family in Florida from a burning car. The accident happened on July 17th in Sanford, Florida near the intersection of Interstate 4 and State Road 46. Assisted by another man, Zimmerman approached the overturned blue Ford Explorer that was on fire. When officers with the Seminole County officers arrived, they spotted Zimmerman and the unidentified were assisting the family of four out of the car.
Zimmerman left the scene after making contact with police. I guess those same police gave old Zimmerman a pat on the back for once again helping them do their job? WTF?! I thought Zimmerman was in hiding and his own parents didn’t even know where he was?! He’s evidently still in Sanford being the local hero? Was this a Black family? That would seriously be the icing on Zimmerman’s mea culpa cake.
On Wednesday, July 17 at about 5:45 PM Sanford Police responded to a single car accident in the area of I- 4 and State Road 46 in Sanford. A blue Ford Explorer SUV traveled off the road and rolled over. There were four occupants inside the vehicle, two parents and two children. An eyewitness to the accident told Breitbart News the SUV lost control in front of the witness's car. The SUV later caught fire.
The deputy reported, when he arrived on the scene that one of the two men helping the family was George Zimmerman. According to Sanford Police Zimmerman had a fire extinguisher with him. The eyewitness told Breitbart News he helped assist the family out of the vehicle and put out the fire with the extinguisher.
"Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash, which was why he was not referenced in the police report," a Sanford Police spokeswoman told Breitbart News. "He left after making contact with the deputy. There were no reports of injuries of any of the vehicle's occupants," she said.
An eyewitness to the accident told Breitbart News that people on the scene recognized Zimmerman and thanked him for his help before he left.
Zimmerman's location has been unknown since he was found "not guilty" of second degree murder and manslaughter of Trayvon Martin recently.
These reports are not mine...........I am posting news items as I see them.........Looking and hoping and praying that it was a non-white family.

WHAT FREAKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHAT THE SKIN COLOR OF THE CRASH VICTIMS ARE? I could say, "I am sorry for yelling," but that would be a lie in this case...
In all honesty, why would you care? Zimmerman did not care what the color of his attacker was....all he cared about was getting out alive...
