I used to work with Mr Zimmerman. He was , in fact , a liberal. He was definitely slandered by the liberal media.
Back then , he was young and a very good guy. I enjoyed his company.
When the facts finally came out , the acquittal was not surprising. I remember seeing Zimmerman in a news clip being brought to the police station. You could see the top of his head was bloodied and his nose was swollen. He didn’t look like I remembered. This was self defense whether the other side sees it that way or not.
Zimmerman took a black girl to the prom and started a company with a black partner. His black neighbors who he met with on watch reported no issues. His 911 calls, though high in number, spanned the spectrum in terms of the races of the people he reported.
The unrecognized tragedy of the incident is that police budgets were dropping in the town and the county at the time, and things were getting worse (though not as bad as now). An elderly couple in that neighborhood reported that when they asked the police to help protect them the officers told them to get an alarm and a big dog. Zimmerman was reacting to these conditions, which is not to say whether his actions were reasonable or not - but rather that if the state abandons the provision of safety, bad things happen.
I have been working on a rebuttal to that horrible series, Rest in Power. Work in Progress, would love to hear your opinion. Everything is based on evidence I have found and will eventually be fully sourced.
This is terrific. The thing that was so maddening to me, and it's because I knew Z, is the media TOTALLY dehumanized the guy. He was in his low 20s when I worked with him.
He was easy to work with and definitely collaborative at work. We often went to lunch and always had a good time. I felt bad for the guy for some of the events that happened after acquittal--but who knows how a guy would act or feel after being railroaded in so many media avenues? I'm sad to say I only spoke to him once while some of the events were happening. Told him I would just pray for him and that was the last time we spoke. I simply have good memories of the guy.

Thank you for that.
