George Zimmerman's Parents Sues Roseanne Barr Claiming She Sent 'Lynch Mob' After Them

George Zimmerman's parents is suing comedian, Roseanne Barr for tweeting their home address claiming in what they say was an attempt to send vigilantes after them.  Robert Zimmerman and Gladys Zimmerman's lawsuit says the actress and comedian, Roseanne Barr also said she herself might go to their home herself. They said Roseanne posted their private information in violation of Twitters privacy policies.  "I don't believe a word of it!  I don't believe Roseanne Barr would put her career in jeopardy over people like the Zimmerman's, since they have a vigilante murdering piece of crap son - who got away with murder." Even though sources said that Roseanne Barr knew at the time of her tweets and her threat to personally come to the Zimmerman's home that it was an open and obvious call for vigilante justice… intended by Roseanne Barr to cause a lynch mob to descend on Robert Zimmerman and Gladys Zimmerman's home,” according to the lawsuit, filed in Seminole County, Fla.

A spokesman for Barr did not immediately respond to a request for comment from media outlet, The Wrap.  The Zimmerman's say, Roseanne Barr tweeted their address on March 29, 2012, later adding, “At first I thought it was good to let ppl know that no one can hide anymore.” She added, “If Zimmerman isn't arrested I'll rt his address again – maybe go to his house myself.”  "I wonder why the Zimmerman's waited one year to file a lawsuit against Roseanne Barr?  Hmmmm!

Roseanne also wrote, “vigilante-ism is what killed Trayvon. I don't support that,” according to The Smoking Gun website. She also admitted to “not fully understanding that it was private not public.”

Zimmerman's parents said their son had not lived at the home for more than six years.  The couple said they had no problems related to his case in the month before Roseanne Barr tweeted their address, but that news media began arriving at their home almost as soon as she did. They said they were forced to flee and have not returned to their home in the nearly two years since. They do not claim that any lynch mob ever materialized — only that they had to leave to avoid potential vigilantes.  But the timeline in their lawsuit conflicts with one Robert Zimmerman gave the Orlando Sentinel in an interview, the paper reported. He said on March 15, 2012 – two weeks before Roseanne Barr tweeted the address – that he and his wife had already moved out of their home because of death threats, the Orlando Sentinel said.  Roseanne Barr is the second celebrity to be accused of overzealous tweeting involving the Zimmerman case.

Another Florida couple has sued Spike Lee for re tweeting their address and mistakenly identifying it as Zimmerman's. He later apologized.  George Zimmerman, who said he shot Martin in self-defense, was acquitted in July 2013, is a crock of bull crap.

George Zimmerman: Living In Constant Fear Is Now Suffering With PTSD

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!
