George Zimmerman says he’s homeless and suffering from PTSD: report

George Zimmerman says his problems continue.

He told a Spanish language television station he is now homeless, battling post-traumatic stress disorder, more than $2 million in debt and lives in fear for his life.

Zimmerman opened up on the Univision television show "Aquí y Ahora" (Here and Now) that will air Sunday on the Spanish language station at 7 p.m.

Zimmerman also discussed his well-known struggle with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen who was walking in Zimmerman's neighborhood in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.

I was homeless for a spell, so I know how bad that situation can be. I hope he suffers.

What the hell? He had his legal expenses paid, and he made some money on the celebrity circuit. I buy the "disorder" part, but it's not from stress. His basic personality orbits around anger and bad judgment.

Who in their right mind would hire him? It would be a public relations nightmare. Even if the business was owned by a gun humper that cheered his victory. They don't want any protests, loss of business, etc. that could hurt their bottom line.

Auctioning his 'artwork', the gun, and all those exclusive interviews wasn't enough?

Well, I guess he can crash at Darren Wilson's place, since he seems to be doing pretty well these days...

Or of course he can always kill somebody and get on the gravy train again...

murder of Martin a good example of a "defensive gun use." They should help the worthless example of modern gun fanciers.

...we've had word that he's had at least one live-in girlfriend and at least one DV incident. The guy is a real charmer, and I only want to hear that he is in prison where he belongs in the here and now.

And he is still a racist asshole. One likes to think at some point he would take a hard look at what he did. From every indication I have seen he is proud of it to this day.
