I think some folks missed a large part of what happened. To be more precise, after George said, "OK," to the dispatcher, everything that follows seems to have flown straight out of heads.

Amusing.

I doubt righties will get the race war they have been yearning for.

Doubt it.

Someone, anyone please show me where people are calling George Zimmerman a hero, I'd like to read the context.
To be honest, I have seen some posts where he was called a hero for killing a furture thug. Pretty disgusting comments IMO, but they have been made here and there, but not in any large quantities.

I'll agree with you on that. Also, "it is what it is", "if this thing works". Still think they will win, though.

FYI:At the top of this thread, there are options...choose the search this thread option, type in the word "hero"
I just did and there was 35 pages from this thread alone.

I just searched and only found 2 instances where people honestly called Zimmerman a hero, I did however have to weed through 4 pages of posts where people were calling Zimmerman a hero in a negative way and were pro-Trayvon supporters.

I'm with the defense on this one. Really-how much more bizarre could the case have gotten..

I have seen plenty of posts calling GZ fat, porky etc.. but few and far between. Its just emotional responses from people.

There have been comments all over the spectrum about both parties.

Most logical adults don't feel extreme about either person involved.

The whole situation for both parties is a terrible event.
