Need a presser in the first place? .

Isn't a notable person- is he? I mean - it's not like he's a person of any value who contributes to America. Why would he need a PR person? It's not like -he's an ambassador to UNICEF or something like that.

Before too long, he'll be a faded memory, recognized mainly by those to whom he applies for employment. Hence his current effort to "rehabilitate" his image, an effort that -- most likely -- will end in yet another failure.

history will tell the true story and not the teabagger lies.

Z-Thug and ShitPantsFever are as good as it gets in RepulbiCON world...

Take a look at this thead. Bill Moyers didn't hold back the punches on their hero:

Amazing!

Of course we had that Tweet posted here where he saved a woman from a mosquito in her hair by shooting at her head. Gee, that's what I call a hero!

station do not cover who rescued who.

Speaking as an editor and publisher of a local newspaper, if your fishwrap doesn't write stories about local heroes, then they are missing some of the lifeblood of community journalism.
Of course this is news, and even national news. The real question is whether someone staged the accident, whether the family has had a recent influx of funds, and whether any local or national journalist has the guts to ask.

exciting story some time but they do not tell us about every little accident that happens. I am old enough that I remember the days when each community had its own gossip column in the paper and I am very glad those days are over. Mostly it was the elite in the community that acted as if what they were doing was more important than what the rest of us were doing.

In this story it sounded as if the police were over eager to make sure that their hero was vindicated. Do they call national news about everyone in their community that does something special?

As to the real question - there I agree with you.

But they usually do not mention all the rescuers by name, unless they are quoted in the article. This is a community that has a very active rescue/fire community. If someone acts particularly heroically, they will be named, but not every single person who goes out on a call.

... certainly has us talking about it. Sounds pretty newsworthy to me.

I would certainly consider it more newsworthy than Stevie Wonder refusing to go to Florida (where he hasn't been in many years).

They aren't the ones who got away with murder. But I could understand not wanting to be associated with Z in any way either.

They were the ones who called Zimmerman's attorney, O'Mara.

Maybe a little too eager.

I still can't believe an army of people in hoodies hasn't camped out around his gun shelter.

It took Ford a long time to change the image of the Explorer as a vehicle that turns over, and they're not about to surrender that reputation.

... something like that came to mind when reading the OP.

They are scared of the wrong people

and communism and socialism and miltant feminists, et al.....

and stay anonymous. what is to be gained by going public? nothing.

yup

Of course, if they were all hanging upside down from their seatbelts, that might have been a situation Zimmerman would have found nearly impossible to resist, shooting some more people who couldn't shoot back.

Maybe he should get the keys to Sanford for his remarkable self-restraint.

...find someone else to 'save.'

Maybe Don West can take them all for a "celebration cone" as he did after he savaged, mocked, attacked Rachel Jeantel.

[center][/center]

It figures that Don West would take his family to a restaurant owned by a bigoted, hate-filled company that regularly contributes to homophobic causes, in celebration of abusing a young woman on the stand. It just figures.

Bigots in one arena are usually bigots across the board.

grossss!!!!

They didn't hurt anyone, they are lucky to be o.k. They just need to rest easy, and the media needs to give them some time to relax and feel better.

There's no photos or videos of the wreck (in this day and age, I mean COME ON!), no dash cam video, no nothing. Plus the cop supposedly called him to go down to the site. What kind of shit cop does that? Also he may have been let off by the court but he's still going to have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life, so why would he risk it all to do that?

Zimmerman was successful in setting himself up for a life of fear -- not that he wasn't living that life already. Its just that now, the fear is justified where before it was all paranoid fantasy.

Good job, Zimmerman, you P.O.S.

on Mr. Zimmerman's recent acquittal.

Was George Zimmerman's Heroic Scenario Cooked Up or Staged By A Friend And Supporter In the Seminole Sheriff's Department?

Everyone in America heard about only TWO news stories over the past couple of days. The first, understandably, is that the Royal Family has a new member. Congrats. The 2nd was that George Zimmerman, a recently freed murderer had heroically saved a family of four from a "fiery auto accident", thereby proving that he's just an honorable man who only wants to do good in the world and is misunderstood.

The latter story is preposterous on the face of it... and anyone who can't see that is blinded by wishful thinking. But let's look at some things that are coming to light about this incident now that ABC got their mileage out of it.

According to some industrious bloggers with a poorly designed site, the officer who responded to the auto accident that is the subject of this story is named Patrick Rehder who lives in Lake Mary, Florida.

But the story doesn't end there... No, it can never be that simple, can it? Patrick has a number of other facebook posts from before the incident took place and it turns out that he's been a very public supporter of George Zimmerman's defense for a long time... Isn't THAT a coincidence?

In fact, MOST of Rehder's facebook posts have been about the trial... So how is it that a member of the same Sheriff's Office which is tasked with guarding Zimmerman, just happens to be same officer who responded to a car accident that Zimmerman just suddenly showed up at to become a hero? And what are the odds that the same Sheriff's Officer would have 128 friends who are ALSO Zimmerman supporters as well as staunch 2nd Amendment Rights advocates?

to get out, how did GZ get them open? I know, I know, it must have been his super human strength.

TYY

Especially more leverage to put your weight behind the effort. Of course I still think this is a cooked up PR stunt, so it's sort of a moot point.

when the cops said they were all uninjured and didn't need medical attention...

sooooo................

[IMG][/IMG]

This is becoming really bizarre.

Please consider making your post an OP. It's important.

http://floridasqueezed.blogspot.com/2013/07/abcs-exclusive-zimmerman-rescue-hero.html

Make you scratch your head and go, hmmmm?


Plus, Puddin' Pie Porky, is too much of a marshmallow to pull adults from a car with out dislocated shoulders and broken arms. Chicken shit sniveling coward.

when it comes to crap like this, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this were just a publicity stunt. That would explain why the family wants to stay out of the public eye... they need time to get their lies straight and synched. On the other hand, if the rescue was real, then they are doing the right thing by not casting any positive light whatsoever on that POS Z.

Doesn't his "heroism" count as much as z's?

A true hero would want to remain anonymous.

Since he's a hero and all.

I'm suspicious that O'Meara is involved. I suspect they would have blown the whole thing by telling the truth. I suspect that the attorney cancelled the presser. O'Meara is not their attorney, he can't control what they say. He may have 'advised' them (pro bono, of course) that they might be 'in danger' if they opened their mouths.

Now, 'fiery crash, rollover, trapped inside, no one injured'. Doesn't add up.

To this point, I've been willing to give the story the benefit of the doubt, although it is bizarre.

But O'Mara getting himself involved just raises some odd red flags in my mind.

TM supporters by default.

This is transparent.

They're all over the internet.

Zimmy is shedding a tear while the camera shows all the neglected dogs in the back ground Victoria Jackson is singing America The Beautiful ............

Oooh, no pics. Not of the vehicle, not of bandages, not of anything.

PR fail.

It was a minor event that some cop mentioned to the media well after it happened. The media liked the story enough report it. It was a Zimmerman sighting.

Listen to this Stephanoplis shit, and tell me they're not all in the tank for zimmy. George hearts George

Makes me mad enough to howl and holler.
