In reply to the discussion: Do you think Zimmerman will ever be able to live a normal life again? [View all]Ruby the Liberal
(26,219 posts)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.

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

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

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

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

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