MSNBC: Zimmerman family launching Website to pay for legal fees and "living expenses"

Thomas Roberts, just now on MSNBC.

"LIVING EXPENSES?"

They've all given up their jobs and expect "donors" to pay the bills? What "LIVING EXPENSES" do they need "help" with?

The wheels are coming off of the motherfucking WORLD.

I could almost feel sorry for the wingnuts, getting fleeced by a bunch of whining accessoris after the fact of murder. But then again, wingnuts are more than happy to be fleeced down to their last dollar for law-n-order.

...representing some group, don't remember which (don't think it was the NRA) has already offered them $10,000.

I posted this about a week ago on DU, and as always, am too lazy to go look for the link.

being, and hiding, murderers, and not wanting to face the consequences of their actions.

not to worry though, I am sure there are plenty who will be happy to support them.

I could save a few weeks of used kitty litter, box it up in a nice package and send it along.

Hey there's a reason they're no longer hosting Wikipedia and it's because of their open support of SOPA/PIPA - now they're hosting sites for murderers like Zimmerman. Go figure.

And we need to know where every single dime the Zimmerman families get!

All of the monies that the Zimmerman family receives should be frozen pending the Martin lawsuit.

Presumably, contributions will not be tax-deductable, and will have the same anonymity as the dollar I give to a street person holding a sign.

will gladly give money to pointless grifterism. Then they'll claim they donate more money to "charities".

Naw, just off of Zimmerman's wagon.

Hannity Insanity gave Zimmerman's dad the easiest interview I ever saw in my life this week. And then Lawrence O'Donnell talked about it on his program the next night.
It is really odd to see Faux Snooze go in to this kind of fullcourt press mode to protect someone like Zimmerman. But, I think they did it because they think it will help them in Florida this fall somehow.

It won't, of course. But, next month there will be something else for Faux Snooze to whine about on every single program.
