Diapers and Spoon-Feeding. Really, Robert? [View all]

[K Gardner]

I know this is old news by now. But I can't get over what Zimmerman's brother said. So I have to get this off my chest.

This is to you, Robert Zimmerman, Jr. You said, among other things:

"George was out of breath, he was barely conscious, his last thing he remembers doing was moving his head from the concrete to the grass so that if he was banged one more time he wouldn't be wearing diapers for the rest of his life and being spoon-fed by his brother," Zimmerman Jr. said. "There would have been George dead had he not acted decisively and instantaneously in that moment when he was being disarmed by his assailant."

Diapers, really? Spoon-fed? This is what George was thinking in that "life and death struggle" that got his adrenalin surging enough to miraculously recover and shoot the guy who was beating his head against the concrete?



Barely conscious, seriously? You mean.. this guy??



So, the kid trying to get home with candy "snuck up on him"? Snuck up on a guy who was so paranoid he called 911, chased a kid because he was wearing a hoodie, called him an ""F-ing Coon" and said, "these assholes always get away". That guy turned his back and let the dangerous thug sneak up on him? Really?

"The Mythology that George chased a person is false." OK. So, he got all the way behind Trayvon's apartment, how?

The other thing I'm wondering, Robert, is it true you hadn't spoken to the brother, whose dying thought was that you were going to spoon-feed him and change his diapers, in two years? Because your brother's own attorney said you hadn't spoken in two years. Why would he say that, I wonder?

One thing you said was true, however: "The Tide has Turned." Indeed it has, for Trayvon Martin and his family.

As Jack Nicholson's character said in 'As Good as It Gets': "Go sell crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here."

One last thing: We'll stop trying this in the court of public opinion when your brother is tried in front of a Jury. Not one minute sooner.
