Lets see how this gets spun in the MSM, if its covered at all.

I'll bet they don't make the "For want of a nail the shoe was lost . . ." connection that, basically, would surmise that if Zimmerman was convicted, he would not have been there, and thus, if only one person was attempting the rescue, and the car lit, possibly (but only possibly) one or more of the occupants might have died a horrible death.

Some people are just determined to do what they think is right no matter what.

I can't wait to find out it was a Black family.

There's Zimmerman, playing "Batman" again!



I'm being facetious; but forget what MSM is going to do with it, I'm wondering what a few of the forum members here would say:

"He should have never gotten out of his car."
"He should have just called 911, and let the professionals handle it."

I'll bet the driver of the truck was greatful for the verdict!

I bet it was and that is why no liberal media coverage.

Decent fellow over all. He can move in next to me anytime. I would be glad to have him, democrat though he is.

So glad he got of his car and tried to help his fellow man. It gives me hope that though this trial was terrible for him I am sure that his core values remain in place.

The news media is over the top with "controversial acquittal."

The truck was over turned when it was targeted in a drone attack. It was a setup to catch Zimmerman.
Gun control is like stopping drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to drive.
