24. Too many people on DU gave George Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt.

It was quite disturbing.

I'm glad that you can admit any misguidance. It was only a matter of time and now that his wife and her father will not press charges, it will free him to commit more heinous acts.

I just wanna know:

What does George Zimmerman have on people? What is it about him that makes people want to give him the benefit of the doubt or go to bat for him?

People have lied for him, cheated for him, even gone to jail for him. Even the police covered for him. And I don't care what anyone says, I believe that there was an entire network of state officials who deliberately withheld or suppressed information, ignored evidence, or dismissed anything that would have led to the questioning of Zimmerman's state of mind or character. (The greatest examples being the molestation charges brought by his cousin and the fact that he had been arrested before for assaulting a police office and domestic violence, not to mention the fact that he was taking a number of prescription drugs.)

By the way, check out this bag of pills the cop in this pic is carrying:
