“After this is all over, you’re going to be able to just have a great life,” Shellie Zimmerman said.

“We will,” George Zimmerman replied. “I’m excited.”

“Yeah, you should be. You should be excited,” Shellie Zimmerman said.

“I wish you were here, of course,” she said.

“I will be,” he said.

“Isn’t it crazy how something like this just makes you put everything in perspective in life?” Shellie Zimmerman said. “It’s amazing how insignificant the things we stress out over are.”

“I agree,” he said.

1. God I hope he goes away for a long long time...

and the Trayvon's family sues him in civil and gets every penny from that fucking PayPal account.

[zeemike]

4. That would be sweet justice.

But these fuckers have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves to thwart justice....let's hope it don't work for them.

6. I hope they civil suit them, too

And win a huge settlement. HUGE.

[BlueToTheBone]

2. Well, I wonder if she thinks it's all so insignificant now.

And Trayvon is still dead. These are not nice people.

[ecstatic]

3. She thinks they're going to ride off into the sunset with millions of dollars

donated by hateful bigots. I really REALLY hope the jury doesn't reward him for his crime.

5. This conversation amkes me hate both of them

Actually hate. Especially contrasted with the photo of Trayvon, dead on the wet ground, the rain drumming on the tarp covering him.

[nolabear]

7. Insignificant. HE JUST KILLED A YOUNG MAN!!

Perspective. Yah. That photo says it all. I could weep.

8. I can't stand either of them and I hate to play devil's advocate, but

I think she meant, don't the things we USED to stress over seem insignificant now that we are facing this prison sentence....

That's the way I interpret it anyway. Not that the murder itself was insignificant.

I believe she was basically saying, "we USED to think we had problems...now we know what REAL problems are.."

10. Hadn't thought of it that way. You might be right

I imagine most people who are sitting in jail and facing murder charges would give anything to go back to complaining about having car trouble or waiting in line at the post office.

It's a common theme. When you're life goes off the rails, it does put things into perspective.

I'm sure Trayvon's family is feeling the same way too, only worse.

9. He won't be so excited when he is convicted of 2nd degree murder.

[frylock]

11. it's just a dead black kid..

don't sweat the small stuff, right shellie? these two are perfect for each other.

[AzDar]

12. Horrible people. I hope Trayvon's family takes every goddamned cent they've got...since that would

seem to be their only sad measure of fulfillment.

[dsc]

13. It is crystal clear what she meant

I think he deserves to be in jail and she does too, but clearly she meant that now they had a real issue to stress out over as opposed to before now.

14. Passports and deposit bottles

They are talking about two passports - GZ says "hold on to THEM," not "hold on to THAT" as previously transcribed.

Shellie also says "Because what you told me to do yesterday would then mean that I need to go and get that out."

Were they planning a trip?
