My husband thinks that...

if Zimmerman gets off he'll eventually run for some kind of public office and use this to help him get elected.

He thinks he'll run somewhere where he's considered a 'hero'. (In Florida)

Sadly this doesn't seem so crazy.

"Vote for me, I killed one! And if elected I'll push to make sure you can kill them too!"

Your husband may be right. The baggers sure love this douche.

My daughter's boyfriend is a MMA fighter. He trains all the time and he's taught me how to hit properly on a heavy bag. I know how to throw a punch and make it hurt. I knew how before, but my point is the guy--his trainer--who said George couldn't fight is a liar.

He had a year's worth of working out and some training, he could have defended himself.

on Fux news where his adoring fans can hang on to his every word.

I'm also expecting the NRA to anoint him as their latest saint.

He ran for Gov. It didn't work for him. Let's hope it's the same thing for Z and even his daddy.

So stranger things have happened.
