Geraldo Rivera Changes Opinion On George Zimmerman-But Still Supports The Killer & Blames The Hoodie

Geraldo Rivera Changes His Opinion On George Zimmerman, But Still Supports The Killer

Geraldo Rivera "I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was."

..................

Geraldo. Sir. Stand up so you can sit back down. You claimed Trayvon was a thug who could have avoided murder if he considered changing his wardrobe, but you think Zimmerman deserves punishment for threatening the woman who was foolish enough to date him? And according to reports, those threats may not even be real!?

Geraldo continues, "My basic reaction is that this man is hanging by a string. I think that he is a borderline psychotic at this point. Zimmerman is a person who has so immersed himself in the gun culture...He was lionized by many–by some at least–as a hero, he has no clear direction in his life... I think he's a very, very dangerous person and he could hurt this woman," Rivera then went on to blame the trial and media spectacle for Zimmerman's behavior, speculating that Zimmerman might be traumatized from the events of the past three years. Traumatized?! Seriously. That's why Zimmerman is acting out?

.....................

Zimmerman's bail was set at $9,000, he was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device and stay at least 1,500 feet away from the residence where the domestic incident occurred with his girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe. The judge declared he would be denied the use of guns until the issue is resolved. Too bad the judge didn't decide to deny his use of guns after murdering an unarmed teenager who was simply walking home. SMH.
