"Someone stops you...you don’t know...if someone wants to kill you." GZimm's brother

Karma/Irony alert


Zimmerman's brother claims family gets 400 death threats a MINUTE and that a Starbucks employee told him 'they'd beat the s*** out of him'

George Zimmerman's brother today revealed their family receive as many as 400 death threats a minute on social media sites and said he almost got beaten up by two Starbucks' employees.

Three weeks after his brother was acquitted of all charges relating to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Robert Zimmerman reveals for the first time the psychological impact it has had on the family - who live under constant fear and have to keep in touch 24/7.

'No one has really asked us to get into the psychological aspect of this,' he said. 'You don’t know if some one stops you in public and says, "excuse me sir", you don’t know if you dropped your wallet or if someone recognizes you and wants to kill you.

...because your brother got away with murder and you're bragging about it.

How about this? Shut your piehole since it makes matters worse??

IMO he/they are trolling for donations from the True Believers

Crying all the way to the bank? Guess there's a need for a Perp Protection Program.

And what's the psychological impact of having your child gunned down and the guy who did it free to walk? Asshole.

You cannot script this shit. If you were writing a screenplay and put that in after what happened, the editors would take it right out...o one would believe that anyone related to GZ would say that after what GZ did to that kid.

Christ almighty...what is next??

That's the shit he said on CNN. Now he seems to have a problem getting home. I wonder is that what Trayvon felt when he wanted to just go home. Mr. Robert Zimmerman has a smart mouth. He has said some snide slick under the tongue comments that are just ridiculous. And yes some of it is ass kicking words. So if he thinks I feel sorry for him or his family...Well I don't think so!!! I feel sorry for Sabrina Fulton and Tracey Martin. They have lost their son whom they loved dearly. And Zimmerman with all his good buddies are profiting off the death of a child. That doesn't belong to none of them. I find it dis-tasteful and reprehensible. There are some really sick individuals in the Free Market!!!!!
