In reply to the discussion: Oh Noes...the 'story' of the Zimmerman crash is falling apart at the seams.. [View all]Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)162. World net Daily weighs in...with a follow up questionnaire
Do you think George Zimmerman would have helped the trapped family if they were black?
1-No, he's clearly a racist
2-No, he would have left them to die or find another good Samaritan
3-No, and I'm pretty sure he staged the rescue to redeem himself. He probably forced the car off the road first
4-No, and it doesn't change the fact that an innocent teenager is dead as a result of Zimmerman's misconduct and stupidity
5-No, he might have feared for his own life approaching a vehicle with blacks
6-Maybe, but only to make a point
7-Probably, but he would have reported their race to 9-1-1
8-I dont know
9-Yes, he would have been even more zealous to help a black family, to show everyone he's not racist
10-Yes, and now that a jury has given Zimmerman a second chance, I hope life will present him with many future opportunities for redemption
11-Yes, and they should have an award ceremony for Zimmerman to present him with a brand new gun
12-Yes, there's not a doubt in my mind
13-Yes, he's been helping black people, living with them, dating them and working with them all his life. Of course
14-Yes, Zimmerman is a hero. The only possible verdict in his trial was 'not guilty' of all charges
15-Yes, George Zimmerman is the definition of someone who is not racist at all
16-Yes, of course. Zimmerman is a good and decent man
17-Other
