In reply to the discussion: Poll: John Boehner's Favorability Rating Just Above Zimmerman's, Snowden's.. -*ugly pic alert!* [View all]Cha
(297,137 posts)46. Oh oh.. And, the hits keep coming.. "Zimmerman’s heroic car crash rescue appears to be a fraud"
There were plenty of people driving by who witnessed the accident, and stopped to help the family out of the vehicle, BEFORE Zimmerman showed up, according to the 911 calls, but no thank you press conference mentioning anyone else by name specifically was scheduled by the family, and no mention of anyone other than Zimmerman was made by the sheriff.
Zimmerman showed up AFTER he was called by a SCSO member according to a report at News Ball.com, Zimmerman then got out of his car with a fire extinguisher, and apparently left without doing anything especially heroic. You can hear the course of events here in the 911 calls; many people who were there as the accident happened stopped to get people out, and the fire and smoke problem from the calls, appeared some time after they were out of the car. As you can hear from the calls, people were out before there was a smoke or fire problem; Zimmerman did not appear to risk his life to pull anyone out of a burning car, as was claimed.

We have no independent verification that Zimmerman was even there, much less that he did anything heroic. No photos, no cell phone video, no police video, no other people who were present as indicated by the 911 calls that support that Zimmerman was there, or did what was claimed that he pulled people from a flaming car wreck.

What we have here "appears" to be another scam by the zimmermans. Another thing this trio has in common.

OP
Too bad in the latest REAL poll, Snowden's approval ratings as a Whistle Blower have risen yet again

Or maybe Assange, Greenwald, Manning, Putin, and Snowden could share the Peace Prize!

Don't forget Cheetos mocking the usurious student loan rates when the Democrats wanted them reduced.
