REALLY?

Florida neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in July of 2013 of all charges related to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, was arrested Wednesday morning in Ferguson, Missouri after an altercation outside of a Dunkin Donuts, where Zimmerman allegedly aimed a handgun at two black teenagers who confronted him.
Authorities say Zimmerman was exiting the Dunkin Donuts at approximately 9:45 am when he encountered the two teenagers, who are identified only as black males ages 16 and 17. In cell phone footage obtained by the police and shown, but not released, to the media, the two teens make every effort to evade Zimmerman, but finally confront him after he followed them for a short distance.

The police should have submitted him for a psych eval.
I find myself wondering how long he's been in Ferguson and if he has had anything to do with the random shots being fired and blamed on the black community.

You should probably delete it or edit it to show it's satire.

Those folk over to the National Report can get right up there with the Onion when they put their minds to it.

The site does not make clear, the way other such sites do, that it is satire, so that is a problem, and it is their fault--except, of course, for the reality of Poe's Law. If RWers didn't say and do batsh** things, people would not believe such stories so easily.

and not a very clever one. You might want to self-delete.
