I'm not surprised that George Zimmerman is looking for more attention form the media since being acquitted of murdering teenager, Trayvon Martin. He claims he lives in constant fear and suffers from (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. George Zimmerman also claims that President Obama helped to inject racism into the votroversial shooting in order to win votes for himself during his re-election. That a crock of bull crap!
George Zimmerman's comments in a Spanish-language interview with "Univision" that aired Sunday marking his first public statement since being aquitted of murder in the February 26, 2012 death of Trayvon Martin. He told 'Univision' that he lives in a consant state of fear, needing bodyguards and bullet-proof vests and that he sufferes from PTSD. In a separate interview that aired on CNN, Goerge said, he still get death threats.
"I have a lot of people saying that, you know, they guarantee that they're going to kill me and I'll never be a free man," he told CNN.
George Zimmerman blames many of his woes on "unfair" media coverage and said even President Obama contributed to his problems. How convenient to blame the President for your problems too. George said that Obama's comments after the shooting that Martin, "Could have been my son." George Zimmerman beleieves that Obama spoke about the racially-sensitive case in order to win more votes. The former neighborhood watch captain said he is broke, owes his lawyers $2.5 million dollars in fees and has no chance of getting a job. He has recently started selling painting and the first one went for $100,000. Despite the turmoil of his life, George Zimmerman said he has no regrets about pulling the trigger.
"In my mind between God and me...I know that if I did not ac the way I acted, I would not be here," George told Univision. "When you hit your head repeatedly against the concrete, you have a broken nose, eyes full of blood and tears, you're not in the position to do much."
After firing at Trayvon Martin, George was initially worried that the bullet had missed the teenager and gone into a neighbor's house. Instead, the argument ended "immediately," George said, with the Trayvon faitally wounded. Following the acquittal, George Zimmerman has faced a myriad of legal problems, including accusations of domestic violence from his girlfriend, (I don't remember her name) although charges were later dropped, several traffic stops, and a pending divorce from his estranged wife, Shelly Zimmerman. George just wants to find his new normal, to move on with his life. He even aspires to be a lawyer.
"Honestly, I would love to live a calm life without being in the press. I'd like (to be treated like) any American citizen, to get a ticket for going at high speed or having an argument with his wife, if the police come and not have everyone aware," he said. "But that, as I said, that's my life and I do not understand why this is. But I'm living my life as I have always lived."
I don't know how every American in this country really feel about George Zimmerman, but, I feel he tries to fine ways to stay in the media about his woes ( making money) and then cast the blame on everyone - even the "President" for his comment because, with everything that is going on in his life, it will be hard for George to hold onto a job or really move around in peace. He got to live with it - I could careless!
