George Zimmerman Claims To Be Homeless And Suffering From PTSD

[Initech]

George Zimmerman, the 30-year-old Floridian acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, says he's homeless, jobless and struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Zimmerman made these comments in an interview with Spanish-language television network Univision that's scheduled to air at 7 p.m. Sunday, a week and a half before the second anniversary of the shooting. An English-language translation of the interview was released Saturday.

Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch volunteer who encountered the unarmed 17-year-old at a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman said he suspected that Martin might have been the burglar responsible for a string of break-ins. Amid a confrontation, Zimmerman shot the teenager, later saying he did so in self-defense.

“In my mind and between God and me, I know that if I didn’t act, act the way I did, I wouldn’t be here,” he says in the Univision interview.

4. Perfect background reading music. I have a prayer/hope for the future I just made up for us all.

I hope the decent homeless people of Florida shun you, I hope the door at labor ready is always closed to such as you. Let the alley cats hiss as you pass by, displaying their rumps for your viewing pleasure, urinating on your possessions, as stray dogs feast themselves upon your scavenged subway sandwiches. As you fester in loneliness and shame, we shall hold the memory close of the one who you have taken from us. We shall forget your name in time, but let us never forget Trayvon and His Family. You are nothing. Good day, Sir. We say, Good Day! Now leave us. That means Go Away.

I don't wish PTSD on anyone, not even people like him.

I'm just saying.

8. He's fulla shit. nt

9. He's still better off than Trayvon Martin.

I wonder if he's going through a kind of "Tell-Tale Heart" experience but doesn't have the self-awareness to realize it? I'm guessing that killing someone in cold blood will give you PTSD, and he wouldn't be homeless if he'd been rightfully convicted.

12. I hope he gets help.

The lynch mob will be happy if he doesn't.

13. WELL! Maybe you shouldn't have stalked & killed Trayvon then!

And why the hell is Univision giving airtime to this freak? Trying to make up for that boxing match with the rapper being cancelled?
