Hell, if I ever happen to see gz taking a stroll, theres a pretty good chance I will view him as suspicious because he does have darker skin than me, and he is not the kind of people we trust around these parts.
This post makes no sense to me. Please rephrase in the English Language.

I'm feeling very short on patience, it is so damn obvious the whole thing. His friend texted gz to let him know to hurry over to the accident site. The car was not on fire at that point, and nobody was injured. Not exactly what most people envision when hearing how he risked his life to 'rescue' them from the vehicle. So, big deal, he wanted to try and turn the publics very bad opinion of him, so he mosied on over and at most held out his hand to help escort them out of the car, no life threatening dash into a car in flames. Nobody was injured. It was totally fake. People do this all the time, just last night I called for help for a stalled motorist who didnt have a cellphone. I didnt call a press conference, and nobody else would either. They never planned to have a conference because then they would have to answer some difficult questions. It was just a way for them to associate the name of the killer with something positive, in the hopes some stupid people might fall for it and think of him a wee bit less ugly than they already do. But 99% of the people Ive heard discuss it, its almost unanimous that it was staged, in the desperate hope it would help sway the sentiment at least a little bit,knowing the vast number of Americans who want his head on a stick. From what Ive heard, it hasnt worked and has actually done the opposite, people are pissed at the sheer nerve and ******* behavior of gz, the only thing bigger than his ego is his pants size.

Does anyone know if gz donned a fireman uniform to leap over to pull people from the suv? i can see him using an old halloween costume with a plastic fire extinguisher and a plastic jack olantern so he could kill two birds with one stone! Good oportunity to again play crazyman role and score some snickers and reeses candy at the same time!

I'm not sure the media would have been interested in a white guy saving some lives prior to his shooting incident.

John Wayne Gacy visited sick kids in hospitals dressed as a clown. Brought smiles to their faces.

Like Zimmerman, a swell guy.

What a setup...This is like news for stupid people, because in the first place it was well known even by his own lawyers, that he would have to go the f... away, and remain in hiding. So even if he did 'save' someone from a car, why was it broadcast in the first place. Either they decided there is really not a significant threat to his life, or they got so desperate to have a little good p.r. for him, that they didnt bother really thinking it through much. Since passersby help other people in many scenarios but dont have the story broadcast, I completely agree that having a 'press conference right after just reeks to high heavens of "****, we need something,anything to try and make gz look less rotten than he is
Yikes! Talk about LOW INFORMATION!

Clue: It was the police who broke the news about Zimm being at the accident scene and helping the people. Zimm had nothing to do with it.

Now you know.

Edited to add: Now I have a clue....I just noticed your join date. Shame on me for responding!

Funny how there continues to be threads and posts all over the place demonizing a dead teenager and his family and the same people doing that now seem to be involved in some lame PR campaign to try to create an image of Zimmerman that puts him in the best light possible.

Gag me.
Doesn't matter whether most of us would have done the same thing or not. Most of us didn't. Zimmerman did. It takes a special kind of partisan hack to not only not give credit where credit is due when someone rescues another person, but even make a post against it.

It's also funny how the same people doing that are the same people who make posts attacking conservatives for refusing to give Obama credit when he does something good.
