Doublethink

2nd October 2014MalloyProducer0 Comments
It’s been eight years since Mike read Orwell’s classic 1984 on the air. It bears repeating. Beginning tonight, Mike will read a selection from the novel each night until the book is finished. And we will also make these segments available to you as a download. Give it a listen, it will be doubleplusgood.

Speaking of alternate realities, the family of George Zimmerman are redefining crazy. Seems George may just be the sanest of the bunch. Their antics rival the Palin’s for sheer lunacy. Have you heard about this crew? There’s quite an expose in the latest issue of GQ. Seems all the Zimmermans love their guns, suffer serious paranoia, and George’s brother Robert wanted to get George a reality TV show that was some kind of hybrid of Candid Camera and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

You can’t make this stuff up.

See, before George killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin a couple of years ago, his brother Robert was considered the black sheep of the family. Robert recently sat for a GQ interview with Amanda Robb, and this is from her article:

“Unemployed. College dropout. With a DWI and a boyfriend,” he {Robert} said, listing his sins. But then, overnight, George had become “the Wreck-It Ralph of America,” and Robert—articulate, sweet-natured, maybe in over his head—was thrust into the role of family savior. “You know what that means?” he said, ordering a second gin and soda. “Zimmerman in charge of rebranding.”

So Robert got to work, defending his brother in the media dozens of times over the next year. The circumstances may have been grim, but the small doses of celebrity could be fun. He had both Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity in his phone contacts. He braved HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, appearing on the show shortly before the first anniversary of the night that George shot Trayvon Martin. Unlike with the news channels, he got paid this time: $800. It was the only income Robert earned that whole year.

After George was found not guilty of second-degree murder in July 2013, Robert began thinking about how to accelerate the Zimmerman rebranding project. There had to be a way to capitalize on George’s notoriety. A family business, maybe. He and his mother had an idea: George could be the frontman for a home-security company called Z Security Products. “They all start with Z,” Robert explained, walking me through an imagined product line. “There’s the Z Bar, the Z Rock, and the Z Beam. They’re all targeted to women. One is to secure sliding doors. One is to put in the front door. The light is to carry and is designed by George. It has a little alarm—you know, Help me, help me!”

Robert’s ultimate goal was to turn George into a reality-TV star. His models were John Walsh, who began hosting America’s Most Wanted after his 6-year-old son was abducted and killed, and the Kardashians, whose fame was launched by Kim’s leaked sex tape. “I learn a lot from watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Robert told me. “Like, use the shit you’ve got.” One idea was for George to be the focus of a Candid Camera-style program. One episode, for example, might feature a professor teaching a class about self-defense, and at the end of the episode it would be revealed—surprise!—that George was one of the students.
Oh my God, where to begin? A Zimmerman security business with a line of “Z” branded products?? A little alarm that cries “help me. . . ???” Too bad Trayvon didn’t have a “Z” bulletproof vest. And forgive me, but who in their right mind would think it was a fun surprise to have George Zimmerman suddenly “pop up” in unexpected places? Sounds like some kind of horror show. Remember, his wife Shellie left him after a much-publicized 9-11 call in which she claimed he was threatening her with a gun. Now wouldn’t it be fun to have George pop up as say, a car wash attendant ready to suds up your minivan? SURPRISE!

But wait, there’s more. The whole Zimmerman clan is gun-crazy. Immediately following Trayvon’s murder, the family armed up, starting with George’s little sister. GQ continues:

It was Grace, the little sister, who first grasped how all their lives were about to change. “We need to get guns!” she screamed when she saw the first news report pop up on her phone. The brief story didn’t even have George’s name—the shooter was still publicly unidentified—but that was no comfort. It was only a matter of time.

The Zimmermans already owned a lot of guns—at least ten altogether, between Grace and her fiancé, her two brothers, and her parents. Still, Grace bought herself a new Taurus pistol.

They had good reason to believe they might be in danger. Soon after Reuters published George’s name on March 7, 2012, the New Black Panthers put out a $10,000 bounty for his “citizen’s arrest.”

The family decided they could no longer stay put. George and Shellie holed up with a friend who was a federal air marshal, so they were reasonably safe. But for years, George’s name had been on the deed to the house where his parents lived. Someone would find them. Bob worried about the large window that faced the street at the front of the house. “That’s my mother-in-law’s room,” he said. Gladys’s mother: 87 years old, Alzheimer’s-afflicted. “I could just see somebody shooting into the bedroom or throwing a Molotov cocktail or something.”

George still hadn’t been charged with a crime, and he was sick of waiting until it was dark outside to walk his dogs. So in early April, the couple snuck out of Florida to a scrubland trailer on a remote island off the coast of Maryland. The rest of the family, meanwhile, hid out in one Orlando-area hotel after another, moving every few days to avoid being seen by the same people. Money was getting tight—their only income was Bob’s and Gladys’s modest public-service pensions—so they often booked just one room for five adults. They paid in cash to avoid using credit cards. They used false names. They tore up their garbage and threw it into random Dumpsters. They usually declined housekeeping; maids, they told me, could be spies or thieves.

The hotel-hopping went on for nearly two months, until Bob found a 1,200-square-foot two-bedroom house for rent on Craigslist in a nearby subdivision where most of the homes had been lost to foreclosure. In other words: cheap and very few neighbors.

There, the family formalized new security protocols. They watched the movie Argo to learn how to live like CIA. Code names for everyone. No mail delivered to the house. No visitors. No talking to the few neighbors they had. No long phone conversations—keep it short and vague to outwit surveillance. Never discuss your whereabouts via phone or text. Keep a weapon close by at all times. Robert slept with his gun. Still does.

And in case someone—or multiple someones—decided to mount an attack on the house, the Zimmermans pre-packed their own “go-bags” filled with everything they would need to flee in a rush, as well as what they called “footballs”—like the one President Obama has with the nuclear codes—that contained laptops, cell phones, and other essential electronics.

They also memorized a color-coded threat-ID system. Code blue: Law enforcement at the door. Code brown: Draw your weapons. Code black: Come out guns blazing.
Come out guns blazing. Would they be “Z” guns, perhaps? The article continues, going on to describe the incredibly bizarre existence they have carved out for themselves. The sad truth is, they would probably make a compelling reality TV family. They are certainly loonier than Boo Boo and more gung-ho for guns than the Duck Dynasty tribe.

Read it, it’s better than fiction.
