(NEWSER) – George Zimmerman burst back onto the scene in the most unexpected of ways this week, rescuing a family of four from a vehicle that had overturned on a Florida highway. Now, Zimmerman's attorney is explaining that Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle "really wanted" to thank Zimmerman publicly, but canceled a press conference planned for yesterday afternoon over fears of "blowback." They were worried about being linked to someone who is "right now very toxic," Mark O'Mara toldCNN last night. Reuters adds that the Gerstles aren't talking to the media and have placed a "no trespassing" sign on their lawn.

Its lookin like he really Did help them,, Sorry, Star, I know you wanted it to be a bogus claim, PR stunt..

...sigh, here we go again...see, he's a bad guy!...no. looky here he's a good guy!...Enough, case closed.

Zimmerman is not a bad guy and I'm not even sure what would constitute a good guy. He's just a guy who had a habit of helping people. Read up on what he did for his neighbors in the years previous. He wanted to be a cop but didn't have the physical tools.. He's not a racist and attempts to paint him as such with audio edits and outright lies are  disgraceful. I'd like to think 99% of us would have pulled over to help if we were the first ones on the scene of an accident. The story is not a lie, but its not a big deal either.  
I agree with jog, let it go. It's over.

Whatever Sri, whatever....

Sorry but, no...
A regular ol' nice guy,.... doesn't get charged with 3 felony charges relating to a Police assault...(they were dropped,... but, Daddy's a judge)...
Also,.. a restraining order against him from his fiance...

I know,... you guys will say,"No big deal"... but, at the same time Travon's smoking some weed, and flipping the bird are...

That is a supreme hypocrisy...

I was teenager,.. I smoked some weed,.. I have flipped the bird... I got into a few fights as a kid, too...
I have never been issued a restraining order, or been charged with 3 violent felonies...

How many of you can say you never smoked weed, or flipped the bird?... Were you perfect angels as children?...

Be honest... you can still support Zimmy without trying to make nothing out of violent felonies...
... but, it is unreasonable to say they are nothing...
The relevance is,.. the case was about a violent felony... a murder...
Not petty theft,.. smoking dope, schoolyard scuffles, flipping birdy's, or wearing hoodies...

The preponderance of fact goes to violent felonies,... not rebellious teen behavior...

It's not that we're supporting zimmerman per se, its more that we are objecting to the fact this case was hijacked and turned into something it wasn't. When sharpton and company get involved, I get justifiably  suspicious. Fact is, this was turned into a political tool and many used this incident to boost themselves in whatever fashion they could, including Obama. When that happened, it no longer became about a single incident. Lines were drawn and you were forced to take sides.

It became apparent with the NBC editing, the false coon statement, wall to wall coverage, that the left had decided to crucify Zimmerman to continue painting republicans as racist. As the efforts intensified from the left, the right pushed back just as hard. in that sense, the left got what they wanted. Honesty, many on the left will benefit because he was found innocent. They can keep this issue alive even longer. Fact is, you on the left didn't care about Martin anymore than the right cared about Zimmerman. The left spent a enormous amount of energy on this false racism case for a year and a half and in that time literally thousands of travon martins were brutally murdered and the left  didn't give a darn. There was nothing political to be gained showing black bodies piling up if you couldn't find  someone useful to blame.

I read the news as much as anyone else and I don't recall much about STG lads until this case was hijacked.
