Zimmerman verdict: Not Guilty.

[Captain Colostomy]

I think attention whores make consciously overt gestures to highlight themselves? Even if Zim doesn't think he wants attention, he seems to keep finding it. His repeated run ins with the law are indicative of...something. As a comparison, I personally have to go back 20 years to come up with a single instance of lawlessness.(Speeding ticket.) Regardless of his motivations, I do think a bad ending likely.

Again, he only "keeps finding it" because the media focus on him. Plenty of people get speeding tickets, plenty of people get divorces and get into arguments during them. None of these people get stories written about them; Zimmerman is only different because he won a controversial court case. I'm not entirely sure what your comparison was meant to prove; I'm sure collectively we can come up with plenty of other examples of people here who have committed crimes in the past year.

I'm not concerned about media coverage. I was looking at the curiously high number of run ins he's had. My point was only that compared to most citizens, he's kept the police busy...relatively. It seems to me indicative of that...something...I mentioned earlier. It's not a damnable thing, but I imagine of two persons- one a fellow who has never even jaywalked, and another who repeatedly has 'issues' with the law, the latter would be more likely to cause trouble down the road. Zimmerman shows a pattern, weak as it may seem. His willingness to find trouble and shoot his way out again is what is worrying.

I'm cognizant of the 'innocent til...' line. Goody gumdrops for him. My opinion is to eye him suspiciously now.
