Do you think Zimmerman will ever be able to live a normal life again?

[kimbutgar]

His life is going to be a living hell. He might be a hero on fox and in white wing world but a month from now he will be a pariah. He will be looking over his shoulder everywhere he goes paranoid, and stressed. Yes it will be hell on earth. This is not going to end well for him in the long run.

[warrior1]

1. I hope not.

[truebluegreen]

35. +1

[dballance]

38. +1,000,000 /nt

[FarCenter]

2. In Peru?

[countingbluecars]

3. His life should be hell.

It would be a step toward fairness.

[Humanist_Activist]

4. A normal life for him involves shooting and killing innocent people, I hope he doesn't...

return to that, but he probably will.

[Tippy]

14. I have a hunch your right

[rucky]

5. Did he ever before?

The man was a fucked-up paranoid aggressive to begin with, and now he feels 100% justified for being that way.

[JaneyVee]

6. Lets ask Casey Anthony. Wherever the hell she's hiding.

I agree. He's going to be paranoid and a pariah. Good.

[Atman]

22. I actually know where she lives.

She moved to my old home town in Florida. Lots of my friends have seen her hanging out on the beach and in local bars. And I am amazed at the hatred and vitriol directed toward her. They are outraged that she is walking free among them, and many have publicly wished terrible things to her, despite the fact that she was acquitted and has a right to live anywhere she wants. Her life can't be too pleasant...I suspect Zimmerman's life will be similarly unpleasant.

[Anansi1171]

34. No, Good! Free-thinking people have a right to think freely and shun her if they desire!

I hope that Zimmerman bears the the social weight of his actions since he will bear no other. Plus, he's now rich, fat and I believe happy as you can see from his brother's viewpoint how inculcated he is from reality. He will be feted by Ann Coulter, Bill Oriely, Rand Paul, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and many other similar bigots who will celebrate his right-wing victory.

Lets return here, Atman, when we hear stories of the one, two or five year reunion and see what Zimmerman has made of his victory lap, his life, that which he deprived Trayvon of. If I'm wrong, I'll eat humble pie. But the whole point is that character precedes action, and I have no doubt Zimmerman will reveal more through his character.

[Lee-Lee]

7. Maybe if

He runs off to some place like Idaho and lives in seclusion.

He can't even go hide with the white supremacist compounds up there since they will see him as not pure due to his Peruvian heritage.

He is pretty well screwed.

[NoOneMan]

8. Yes

He was already paranoid and looking over his shoulder

[JaneyVee]

10. And no one knew who he was. Now America knows the face of a child killer.

[NoOneMan]

19. A black child

What makes you think most of America cares? Sanford FL most certainly doesn't

[JaneyVee]

9. Maybe he can move to the transit zone in the Moscow airport.

[librechik]

11. I hope he is hounded daily by citizens with giant posters of Trayvon, wherever he is

standing his ground.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. No.

He will be looking over his shoulder every day of his natural life. Good luck with getting a job - who wants that notoriety? With any hope, Sybrina and Tracy will sue for damages, so forget about writing that memoir. Ben Jealous is pushing DOJ for a civil rights violation investigation - what landed 2 of the 4 Rodney King perps in jail.

He would have been better off cooling his heels in lockup for a few years. Had that happened, he may have been able to have a normal life.

Now, not so much.

And that kinda makes me happy in an odd way.

[FarPoint]

15. Sounds good Ruby...

but what can we do if he leave the country?

[CakeGrrl]

27. At least he'd be force to flee, which would be a blow to the

arrogant entitlement of his family, including that execrable "proud to be an American" brother of his.

[tularetom]

13. No but I'm not sure he had much of a normal life in the first place

He was paranoid to begin with, that's why this whole incident took place. From now on it will be even worse. Every black person he sees will be a threat to him. Eventually he'll snap and do something stupid. Hopefully nobody else will get hurt.

[backscatter712]

16. He'll probably make millions with a book deal and regular appearances on FAUX News.

How much do you want to bet that this shitbag will end up saying something so over-the-top that even FAUX fires him?

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. If the Martins sue in civil court for wrongful death

it wouldn't matter. Every paycheck he earns and every asset he accumulates will be theirs. Just like the Goldmans and Browns did with OJ - and why OJ is sitting in jail for 30 years for trying to steal sports memorabilia to pay his bills.

[FarPoint]

33. Who is supporting Zimmy and family today?

Is he living off the web donations?

[backscatter712]

39. That, and his dad's a judge.

I don't think they're hurting for cash.

And as I mentioned, next for Zim is the book deal and the public speaking circuit and the appearances on FAUX News - he'll be comfortable, unfortunately.

17. Will Trayvon?

[Ilsa]

18. Maybe someone can put

TM's name and picture on the side of a van and park it in front of GZ's residence all day every day.

Maybe others can follow him around, since that's not aggression, and let him feel constant fear the way TM felt before he stood his ground.

[onpatrol98]

20. Well, as his attorneys reminded us every day

Following a person isn't illegal. He'll be followed all the days of his life. The world will forever be watching. Heck, he may be followed literally for all I know. Couldn't you just see people following him for no other reason than to follow.

I wouldn't advise it, though. He might shoot a reporter.

The 2nd amendment advocates that chose to make this guy their poster child have got to be out of their minds. He's the epitome of the non-responsible gun owner. It's madness.

I don't believe he'll hide out for long. He's a celebrity. Now, he'll earn money telling his story. That's right, folks. People will pay him to speak. He's about to become a very rich man. And, all it took was killing one of our children...and getting off free for it.

His family will be out and loud until the media grows weary of them. Mark my words.

[nevergiveup]

23. No

What goes around, comes around

[Marrah_G]

24. I hope his life is hell

[Faygo Kid]

25. He'll probably get a gig on Fox News

He's a hero to their viewers.

[CakeGrrl]

28. Nope, not the one he feels he ought to. And that's a good thing. -nt

[MjolnirTime]

30. Vigilante's gonna get him. He had better leave the country.

[BlueStreak]

31. You mean, returning to his exciting world of wannabe cop?

This is not what I would call a "normal" life in the first place.

=======

Patient: Doctor when will I be able to play piano concertos?

Doctor: You should be able to do that in a few weeks.

Patient: Well that's outstanding because I have never played the piano in my life.

[Blackford]

32. He's about to get the OJ treatment.

The only thing is he won't be able to insulate himself from it because he'll never have OJ's money.

[FarPoint]

36. Yes, he is an internationally know scum today...

but where will his finances come from now? OJ had money and resources where Zimmy did not as he even had bad credit prior to the murder of Trayvon.

Who is his banker or sugar-daddy today? How long will they carry Zimmy now that he soon shall become a liability?

[Warren Stupidity]

37. At least he has a chance to live a life, unlike the young man he murdered.

[kestrel91316]

40. I hope not. But I fear that, with his family's wealth, he will

be able to live free of consequences for his act. He certainly hasn't paid in any meaningful for the OTHER crimes he has committed.

I hope he continues to gain weight, his wife leaves him, and the inevitable cardiovascular problems and diabetes have their way with him.

[burnodo]

41. Yes

I think it's wishful thinking to assume that his life will be traumatically affected by what happened. In three weeks (or less) no one will even remember.
