GZ was probably a tool and a fool before the Martin shooting. And if the media hadn't jumped all over the incident as if it were some sort of racially motivated lynching, we'd never have known his name. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. GZ is probably a dick, and the fact that the martin shooting was justified is neither here nor there in his pathetic existence.
Even though I thought - and still think! - Zimmerman was innocent of the charges brought in the Trayvon Martin shooting, from the outset I didn't think he was exactly a poster boy for MENSA.
Various police departments - and others - are probably keeping a VERY close eye on him, and won't cut him ANY slack if he even comes close to the line, let alone steps over it. He should understand that, and if he doesn't his lawyer should have explained it to him.
In detail. He's in a sort of real-life "double secret probation" situation - a marked man.
Yet he keeps having these run-ins.
Idiot. 
A long time back, when the shooting was the subject of some debate around here, a lot of us pointed out that Zimmerman made bad decisions which ultimately put him in the position where the shooting occurred. Looks like bad decisions may be par for thecourse for Zimmerman.
If I was him, a single man who went through the trial and was acquitted, I would have moved to a different state in a smaller community, changed my name as soon as legally possible, and started a new life. But, he has shown us he makes poor choices by the pound...
Seriously? He doesn't deserve all this hate. The man is clearly of average or maybe slightly below average intelligence. Look at the jobs he has held (that we've been made painfully aware of from the press digging into his life so that EVERY DETAIL is meticulously examined.)
Prior to the lynch mobbing he received, he had ONE (1) run-in with the police. And the police were more than willing to allow him to plead down. It doesn't sound like he was violently attacking a police officer and may have been a misunderstanding.
He was attempting to help his community. Let me say that again, this average joe- poor, supporting himself, average joe- was trying to act to help keep thefts down in his community and RIGHTFULLY recognized Mr. Martin as a threat to his community. (I think the choir boy was casing some homes to support his habits.)
The man made some mistakes, much of it from misunderstanding the instructions relayed to him, because he was trying to be helpful.
Since being assaulted for attempting to help his community, he's had his life destroyed, his marriage ended, and a media hounding him that continues to hound him because they want his blood for their god.
He's not an idiot. He's an average guy who's been put in a situation that is way over his capabilities to handle.
Yes, all of us would have handled the initial situation and the aftermath differently, but all of us are above average intelligence, and most significantly so.
