In reply to the discussion: Updated! Do you believe this latest Zimmerman saved a family from a truck story? New link. [View all]Kurska
(5,739 posts)19. There is absolutely no evidence to the contray for this story.
The fact that people are immediately yelling conspiracy or something goes to show just how often people will disregard information because it doesn't fit their world view.
I don't agree with what Zimmerman did, but that doesn't mean that I need to believe he will do nothing good from now until the day he dies. Some people are however obsessed with seeing the world in strict good and evil terms. I'm sure freaking Hitler would have stopped to help someone on the side of the road, that doesn't make him a good person

There's no way it's a staged event - too many people would have to be in on it

Yes, if it's being reported that he "saved their lives" then that is most likely PR spin.
