It was just reported that the family that Zimmerman
 

...pulled from their overturned car canceled a news conference because they did not want to have any connection with Zimmerman.

no connection with upstanding citizen is sure a good thing

they made the right call

Slow trout day? :upsidedow

ADG

Finally white people are involved.

They said that while they are thankful to Zimmerman that they did not want to associate themselves with Zimmerman because Zimmerman is so hated that they would be in fear for their family.

Makes sense, but there are more polite ways to do that, simply:

We are thankful for what Zimmerman did, but we do not want any spotlight. We are just regular family who had an accident.

No need to sound like an assholes.

:2 cents::2 cents::thumbsup

You that afraid Juice ? -- Really ?

I'm reading all sorts of ONE TRAYVON SIDED responses here !

The Martin family called for Zimmerman's arrest - HE WAS ARRESTED
The Martin family called for a trial by jury - ZIMMERMAN WAS ACQUITTED

You're telling me you have no faith in our judicial system ?
What about Aaron Hernandez being judged, tried and convicted for murder by the Patriots and the fucking trial didn't even start yet !

ACQUITTED - repeat Acquitted George Zimmerman helped people from a overturned car and you're going to ignore that ??????
What the fuck are you people afraid of !?!?
You afraid of riots from the blacks ???

Cowards

/fucking rant

that's probably what they actually said :2 cents:

Hey 82nd, I'm curious, what's your opinion on this ?

If you are asking why they do not want to associate themselves with Zimmerman...I understand why they canceled the conference...they feared a backlash against themselves...and/or their children. A bit cowardly but I understand.

Why did they announce conference in the first place? I mean who makes press conferences over things like simple car accident, lol

I do not think that they announced a conference...I think it was one of Zimmerman's attorneys. When Zimmerman's attorney found out what had happened...and it wasn't through Zimmerman BTW...he apparently asked the family if they would hold a conference...probably in the hopes of improving Zimmerman's image to the public. The whole thing sounds a little zany to me...because the national news media had already made it public.

" The Gerstles were expected to hold a press conference today at the office of Zimmerman?s attorney Mark O?Mara, but cancelled a few hours before it was supposed to take place?

?The family called because they wanted to address the media. I knew that if we did it in an organized way, it would help them get back to a normal life.. But they called today and said they were more worried about blow back from saying anything that would be favorable to George, and decided they did not want to do any media,? O?Mara said.

The lawyer said that when he spoke to the Gerstles ?their voices were trembling? and that they feared saying anything positive about Zimmerman ?would be toxic.??

Zimmerman ?should be [armed] given the threats against him,? O?Mara said. He added, ?If I were him I would leave? the country."

LOL. No.

Can't say I blame them one bit. With the media's iffy track record of twisting one's words or failing to report accurately about what someone meant by their words etc, and the black community's propensity for reprisals in cases such as these where "one of their own" has, in their view, been unjustly treated by a trial's outcome, well...

You either keep your mouth shut or take a risk every time you or your kids step outside your door.

And before anyone says it, white folk can be just as nuts when decisions go the other way. People, in general, are nuts.

I dont want to disagree with you on this but I will.

Not long ago someone stole the spare tire from under my truck at a local shopping mall. It is Now well known that if you want to keep your spare you don't park a truck in that parking lot. I know for a fact that I could go, catch the guys doing it and end it. Its something I have done before and dont lose sleep over. But... I have a son now. he is 8 and I have to think of what can happen to him. So, I bought a new tire and decided not to park my truck there. Has nothing to do with being a coward. Has to do with knowing what fights to pick and what fights to walk away from.

These people walked away from a potential mess that could cause harm to their kids and that is NOT cowardice its intelligent.

Mess with my kid? Now there would be a shit storm.

Yeah I agree. I remember the last riots of the white people. Oh wait.

Nope, not really. Have you ever heard that someone would be sacred of "white riots" when something happened to single white person?

Who's picking any fights ? - Zimmerman and his buddy rescued a man, his wife and their two children ages 4 and 8 who were all trapped in their flipped SUV.
What's the problem ?

It's fucking cowardice because you're afraid / deathly intimidated by the blacks and don't tell me for one second that isn't the case !
(Let's all go into cowardice hiding so we don't get hurt or killed by the racist Trayvon mob and pray for world peace and unity of all races.) Get the hell out of here !

Somebody rescued me and my family, ya damn right I would publicly thank that man !
Ya don't like it, go cry to the Rev. Al Sharpton ! - Ya want his phone number, I'll dial it for ya !

/bottom line !

Are you guys truthfully saying that at no time in US history has any white folk ever been up in arms or wanted to lynch a black person after a trial?

Really???


Seriously... really?



As for just plain straight-up riots involving mostly white people we need only look to events like pretty much any G-8 or G-20 summit in recent years. Or Montreal winning the Stanley Cup (or Vancouver losing it).

Yes, sure, White people don't riot. Ever.

Don't get me wrong, I stand by my original assessment of this instance. That family is obviously in fear of reprisals from the black community, and rightly so. How does one let their son or daughter head off to school with that hanging over your head?

Does the witness protection program accept families who publicly support an aquitted white guy?

Just axsking.

Relax, Sally. Why don't you go and play with your clit to calm down.

according to black people he was as innocent as Zimmerman is guilty :2 cents:

So Zimmerhead is so wimpy he can't throw a punch, yet a week after the biggest trial of the decade he rescues 4 people from a crash. No pics of the accident anywhere, no injuries. Yea ok.

It?s a bird. It?s a plane. It?s Zimmer Man! But his reported rescue of the car crash seems to be falling to pieces
