Diapers and Spoon-Feeding. Really, Robert?

[K Gardner]

I know this is old news by now. But I can't get over what Zimmerman's brother said. So I have to get this off my chest.

This is to you, Robert Zimmerman, Jr. You said, among other things:

"George was out of breath, he was barely conscious, his last thing he remembers doing was moving his head from the concrete to the grass so that if he was banged one more time he wouldn't be wearing diapers for the rest of his life and being spoon-fed by his brother," Zimmerman Jr. said. "There would have been George dead had he not acted decisively and instantaneously in that moment when he was being disarmed by his assailant."

Diapers, really? Spoon-fed? This is what George was thinking in that "life and death struggle" that got his adrenalin surging enough to miraculously recover and shoot the guy who was beating his head against the concrete?



Barely conscious, seriously? You mean.. this guy??



So, the kid trying to get home with candy "snuck up on him"? Snuck up on a guy who was so paranoid he called 911, chased a kid because he was wearing a hoodie, called him an ""F-ing Coon" and said, "these assholes always get away". That guy turned his back and let the dangerous thug sneak up on him? Really?

"The Mythology that George chased a person is false." OK. So, he got all the way behind Trayvon's apartment, how?

The other thing I'm wondering, Robert, is it true you hadn't spoken to the brother, whose dying thought was that you were going to spoon-feed him and change his diapers, in two years? Because your brother's own attorney said you hadn't spoken in two years. Why would he say that, I wonder?

One thing you said was true, however: "The Tide has Turned." Indeed it has, for Trayvon Martin and his family.


(pic is symbolic)

As Jack Nicholson's character said in 'As Good as It Gets': "Go sell crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here."

One last thing: We'll stop trying this in the court of public opinion when your brother is tried in front of a Jury. Not one minute sooner.

1. Those Zimmermans seem to be so full of BS

The story just does not hold up. 40 minutes from shooting to the time George was unloaded at the police station without any blood on his shirt from that alleged broken nose. And if he were treated by an EMT for a gash on the back of his head there would most likely be a nice white bandage on the back of his head we'd see in that video.

I don't believe a word they say.

2. I'll tell you why

Little to do with his brother's magical healing powers....

Each interview is MONEY.

CACHING!!!!

3. This whole thing

is typical behavior for an extremely dysfunctional family that has a lot to hide. They are all scared shitless the abuse or other 'family secrets' will come out.

Or they are all narcissists loving the attention and interview $$ in which case it makes perfect sense why GZ is the way he is.

9. Very interesting observation. I realize it's speculative, but you may

be right. (just thinking about my own famiily, LOL)

I read somewhere the brother appeared on the scene hoping for some $$.

4. Indeed, for the beating he described his

brother should've been in a neck brace. There is nothing that irritates me more than someone peeing on my leg and telling me it's raining!

5. K&R! Why are we hearing from these relatives who weren't even there?!

What is the point (except to muddy the waters...)?!

6. "These assholes always get away"

It clear to me he wasn't going to let Trayvon get away. This was definitely murder.

7. Short of Divine intervention, Trayvon was the walking dead from the second that creep laid

eyes on him. He intended to murder him and it would not surprise me for someone from within his inner circle to come forward and talk about zimmy's fantasies about being able to murder someone, preferably a young black male fitting the profile of the so-called "burglars" who'd committed the 8 break-ins.

10. I don't know why THAT sentence alone isn't or wasn't enough to arrest him. It

makes absolutely no sense.

[K Gardner]

11. It does seem that there was "premeditation". I don't get it.

Now the family mouthpieces are changing their stories and saying Trayvon went for the gun.

Well, which was it? Scared of diapers or protecting the gun?

8. I love OPs with good visuals

I'll rec for that.

12. And now it comes out that a second EMS responder was cancelled. So this

story can be filed along with the rest of the b/s "friend and family" accounts.
