Oh No! Zimmerman Strikes Again!

Speeding.

How did this even make the news? I'm assuming he's still keeping a low profile, so unless reporters were following him, the cops blabbed about what should have been a routine traffic stop.

I wonder if he moved to Texas, probably not a bad choice.

Agreed...we don't take kindly to race riots here...

*shrug* Anything Zimmerman does for a while will make the news.

It's easy to chalk it up to conspiracy by the media to basically let folks know where he is so bad things can happen, but honestly, it's just "Will people read this article or look at these pictures? Yes? Print it. We don't care about the impact of what we do."

I didn't figure it was a media conspiracy. More along the lines of, if the media knew where he was, they would likely be following him paparazzi style. Most of them anyway. There are certainly those in the MSM that would conspire if they could.

Should be easy to follow him, but I would have figured he'd be in Chicago. I mean, that's where the young, black males are getting gunned down, right?

Awfully nice of the media to specify the make, model, and color of his vehicle.

I live in the county he was stopped in, and my wife is a county dispatcher who was on duty. The response from the police officer was about what I'd expect it to be. This county of Texas is better than most of Florida for Zimmerman, but I honestly think he'd be way better off in far west Texas, North Dakota, Idaho or Montana. Blacks in Texas are as deeply emotional about historical wrongdoings as anywhere else, and he'd be better and safer off somewhere where there isn't as much slavery/jim crow history.
