George Zimmerman says his problems continue.

He told a Spanish language television station he is now homeless, battling post-traumatic stress disorder, more than $2 million in debt and lives in fear for his life.

Zimmerman opened up on the Univision television show "Aquí y Ahora" (Here and Now) that will air Sunday on the Spanish language station at 7 p.m.

Zimmerman also discussed his well-known struggle with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen who was walking in Zimmerman's neighborhood in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.

After he called the cops, the two got into a fight that ended with Martin's death.

Zimmerman says the teen attacked him and threatened to kill him.

1. daddy has enough money to take care of him, he did get him off from murder after all.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

56. I really don't think there was anything to that story

I'm pretty sure the family is slightly ethnically diverse white trash.

[hollysmom]

60. I remember his father ws a retired magistrate from maryland or viginia

and he was politically active in Florida. I am not sure how much money he has, but it seems that his father was involved with getting him off other things when he was younger (i.e. charges dropped), I would have to spend some time searching to prove it, but I do remember reading it in the not too distant past. .

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

69. Whatever he is, Judge Elihu Smails he isn't.

[Warren Stupidity]

2. What happened to all the loot he raised from right wing god and gun obsessed racist idiots?

Huh?

My heart goes out to poor George. Such a tragic life. He seems to be on a downward spiral, things could get much worse for him, much, much worse.

[stevenleser]

3. No matter what shape he is in, it's better than Trayvon's. nt

[catrose]

10. ^this^

[Hoyt]

42. Exactamundo!!!!!!!! Perfect response.

[LostOne4Ever]

85. ^Another This nt

[LiberalAndProud]

4. $2.5 million in debt from the trial.

Who said you can't buy justice a verdict?

[underahedgerow]

78. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

He's going the 'homeless' route so he can declare bankruptcy and get out of his legal debt.

I'm shocked I tell ya, shocked.

[SummerSnow]

82. Wow, the gun nuts didn't support him when the bill came? rofl

[herding cats]

5. I thought he was selling his "art" like hot cakes?

Did it lose its appeal to the RWers?

[Brother Buzz]

21. I think the copyright infringement cease-and-desist letters put a kibosh on his art franchise

http://www.newsy.com/videos/ap-george-zimmerman-stole-our-photo-for-his-painting/

[Major Nikon]

55. That and the declining market for fine art made with latex house paint

[lonestarnot]

73. Snort.

[Hello Dragon]

6. It is hard to get a job

In his circumstances.

[SamKnause]

40. It should be hard for anyone

to get a job that stalks and kills an unarmed child.

If he was in prison, where he rightly belongs, he wouldn't

have to worry about finding employment.

[Gormy Cuss]

7. PTSD?

Post Trayvon Shooting Disorder?


He lives in fear for his life now as he did before he stalked and killed Martin.

[Stellar]

20. +1 hear, hear! nt

[malaise]

23. Freaking perfect

Fuck that murderer

[WinkyDink]

58. *APPLAUSE*

[Solly Mack]

64. !

Thank you.

[flamin lib]

8. Uh, so he admits to suffering from a psychosis?

Does he still have his Keltek K9 and concealed carry permit?

[Myrina]

13. ^^ that's a REALLY good point ^^

n/t

[randome]

9. Is it evil of me to imagine Walter James Palmer and George Zimmerman having a go at each other?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[msanthrope]

19. American Psychos. nt

[TBF]

35. We could send them both to the National Park

in Zimbabwe and let the remaining lions decide what to do with them?

[Myrina]

11. Oh, *now* he's Hispanic? Let him ask Trump for a loan to bolster his financial situation.

If his name had been Jorghe instead of George I doubt he would have been an NRA, Right Wing pet cause.
Interesting how it was never brought up when he was on Faux talking about that teenage 'thug'.

[Blue_Tires]

12. Last I checked he was still alive, which Trayvon can't say...

I guess ol' George is just jealous that Darren Wilson was able to rake in even more money after killing one of us, not even get charged, and vanish off the face of the earth...

[erpowers]

24. George Zimmerman Could Have Disappeared Also

The only reason Darren Wilson was able to vanish and not be heard of again is that he seems to not want to be heard from again. George Zimmerman could have mainly moved on with his life. His problem is that he kept putting himself in the media. No one has been following him and telling people where he is staying. For some reason he has kept threatening people. Shortly after the verdict he got into a confrontation with his ex-wife and her father. Later, he got into another confrontation with his girlfriend. Later, he got into a confrontation with another motorist. Later, he got into another confrontation with that same motorist. In between that time period he was found by police sitting in his car outside of a building. Zimmerman claimed he was just watching the building for a friend. No one has heard from Darren Wilson since he was not indicted in the Michael Brown shooting.

[Blue_Tires]

41. Wilson also had a cool million+ bucks, which made it much easier

and he's protected by his brothers in blue...Meanwhile Zimmerman is probably still trying to pay legal fees...

[CharlotteVale]

14. Boo fucking hoo.

[DanTex]

15. I guess teabaggers got bored with buying his paintings.

[raccoon]

16. He's full of it. Doesn't his family have all kinds of money? nt

[Arugula Latte]

17. Well, ain't that a shame.

[BeeBee]

18. Karma's a bitch. n/t

[WDIM]

29. Was about to say the same thing. nt

[Gothmog]

22. That is tough

[marmar]

25. Did all his wingnut welfare benefits get cut off?

[Adrahil]

26. Boo Fuckin' Hoo, George! I hope the rest of your life is one misery after another! nt

[NOLALady]

27. He's Homeless,

suffering from PTSD, and he's alive, unlike Trayvon Martin.

[abakan]

28. Oh poor George...

I hope it gets worse and his Karma kicks in.

[Charles de Gaudless]

30. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[restorefreedom]

31. could someone....sob sob......please

pass me..sob sob.... a tissue?

[jwirr]

32. No sympathy from this poster. Is finally getting just a small part of what he deserves. May the

trend continue.

[nilesobek]

33. I don't believe George Zimmerman is really, really homeless.

Not in my interpretation of homeless I should say. Not like I was for a decade, feral in the woods and networks of homeless camps.

I betcha he got paid a low five figures for his appearance on Spanish television.

If I'm wrong I would love to meet this guy and have nice conversation all in hushed tones around the campfire. (sarcasm)

[Lil Missy]

34. Awwwwwwww .....

jackass ..

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

36. I hope he keeps his appearance up. Wouldn't want him to get shot for not looking like he "belongs"

in certain neighborhoods.

[bullwinkle428]

37. Pawn your guns, jack-wagon.

[cpwm17]

38. Story dated February 15, 2014. n/t

[Go Vols]

50. Yep

This is from May this year.

George Zimmerman suffers minor injuries in shooting incident, police say

West said Zimmerman had recently moved out of Florida was in town for Mother's Day. He was on his way to a doctor's appointment before the alleged shooting.

[SamKnause]

39. Too bad you took it upon

yourself to stalk and murder an unarmed child.

You should be in prison.

You should be counting your lucky stars that you are free.

You should be counting your lucky stars that you are still breathing.

Too bad the same can not be said for Trayvon Martin.

Your lack of remorse is sickening !!!!!!!!!!!

Playing the 'God' card is despicable. I say this as an Atheist.

[ladjf]

[SoCalDem]

44. Good.. n/t

[City Lights]

45. Poor georgie!

[tblue37]

46. Maybe Walter Palmer will join him someday. nt

[Nay]

47. Trayvon Martin says he's dead. nt

[robertpaulsen]

48. Stop complaining! It's all part of 'God's plan', isn't it?

“I believe God has his plans, and for me to second-guess them would be hypocritical, almost blasphemous,”

Why can't you just be thankful to God that you're homeless, $2 million in debt and mentally ill, instead of second-guessing His Will?!



This certainly brings a song to my heart.

[SummerSnow]

49. What happening to his career as a artist?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

51. Could be worse, he could be dead.

I think he got off lightly. But if he needs a roof over his head, there's always the prison system, if he'd like to ask a judge to let him appeal his acquittal.

[Cleita]

52. Did his mom kick him out of her basement?

I have a job for him. He can join the military. He'll have a place to sleep, food, maybe even psychiatric help and all the guns he wants to shoot in a war zone should he be deployed.

[old guy]

53. Zimmy,

Try Gofundme. There a thousands out there that will fall for your schtick.

[HipChick]

54. He ain't missing any meals to judge by his size...

[Logical]

59. Nice, fat jokes are so funny. nt

[HipChick]

62. What's funny about it? His obesity and related health issues should be a concern at his age..

[Logical]

65. Sure, that is what you meant. nt

[HipChick]

68. I guess you've never had to deal with an morbidly obese sibling

[WinkyDink]

57. Have some Skittles, George.

[libodem]

61. I love to know he's suffering and all

But this article is from 2014. He is probably living off his child's welfare and WIC checks. No way would he be responsible enough to have a job to support his unfortunate spawn.

[Liberal_in_LA]

63. but he has his life unlike Trayvon

[Hekate]

66. Poor baby. All I want to hear is that he is completely disarmed.

He is one dangerous SOB.

[Bettie]

67. Nope, no sympathy

I'm normally a pretty sympathetic person, but I can't even conjure up one fuck to give about this guy. Not one.

[Catherine Vincent]

70. Well boo hoo

[MisterP]

71. then stop murdering people and threatening everyone in your family

maybe he can get some money strangling cats for a shelter or whatever

[bluedigger]

72. May he have a long miserable life, standing on some ground, somewhere.

[AtomicKitten]

74. I seem to have come down with a nasty case of schadenfreude.

[lonestarnot]

75. Boo fucking hoo; cry me a fucking river you murdering fuck. Rot your lying ass in hell.

[libodem]

76. Cry me a river

[tblue]

77. My heart bleeds.

[pansypoo53219]

79. 'not guilty' had a larger price.

[Frustratedlady]

80. I think most of us were hoping he'd get a new home awhile back, right?

He would have had 3 squares and no rent to pay.

Too bad things didn't go the way they should have, right George?

[Juicy_Bellows]

81. I have to agree.

I think he was likely mentally damaged before he murdered Martin. I won't take glee in his mental illness but if the jury got it right the first time he may have received the help that sick fuck needed.
