Life in modern America does not get more cruelly perverse than this: one major reason Judge Debra Nelson threw out George Zimmerman’s libel suit against NBC on Monday was because of Zimmerman’s public pursuit of racial justice. Yes, that George Zimmerman, the same “child killer” who shot black teen Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012.
In the way of background, Zimmerman had sued NBC for manipulating the substance of his famous call to a police dispatcher to make him sound like a racist. In firing two employees and apologizing publicly, NBC all but admitted its guilt. What saved NBC a major payout was Nelson’s ruling that Zimmerman was a “public figure.”
According to Nelson, Zimmerman made himself a public figure by "voluntarily injecting his views into the public controversy surrounding race relations and public safety in Sanford.” He did this a year before the shooting. At the time, Zimmerman worked with the NAACP to launch a public protest over the failure of the Sanford Police Department to arrest the son of a white officer who had beaten a homeless black man
Unfortunately for Zimmerman, his work on behalf of the homeless man, Sherman Ware, was not nearly “public” enough. I could find no mention of this character-defining event in any NBC report, not even in the book NBC’s legal analyst Lisa Bloom wrote about the case, Suspicion Nation.
As NBC’s go-to source on the Zimmerman trial, a case she covered gavel-to-gavel, Bloom embodies the network ethos, and her book reflects its bias. An attorney, she has been covering murder trials for the major networks for nearly twenty years. In the way of pedigree, her mother is the notorious feminist attorney Gloria Allred.

“who shot black teen Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012.”
I thought he was shot in the chest ?
Lisa Bloom is a racist menace.
Lisa Bloom is Gloria Allred’s daughter.
Isn’t it bad legal practice, that the same judge who presided over the criminal trial, is also the same judge making the ruling in this lawsuit against NBC?????
How is it that the same judge got this case against NBC? Are there so few judges in Florida that the same ones rule in related cases in this manner????
Florida went onto my list of places not to go for exactly this reason. That’s banana republic stuff.
RE: Lisa Bloom is Gloria Allred’s daughter.
Does Gloria have a husband? Or is the man just a sperm donor?
If true, this means a lot. First, the NAACP were getting "Rev Al" and jesse to try to bury this guy after he supported them, and it sealed his fate by giving the judge another reason to kick him while he's down. I taught my son to STAY AWAY from these people for a good reason!
Highest per capita rate of white trash per square mile in FLA.
Hey, stupid Judge... Zimmerman WAS NOT a public figure when NBC lied about him...
Being shot in the Sanford is worse!
Remember Trayvon’s ‘gangland father with gang tattoos?’
That father is actually a Freemason Master at a Freemason lodge.
Go ahead folks, look it up.
Plus, Zimmerman’s lawyer Mark O’Mara suddenly quit, then oddly, the Bar association launched an investigation of Mark O’Mara.
In other words, the Trayvon case isn’t ‘as advertised.’
O’Mara probably realized it was another False Flag, so he quit, then FedGov intimidated him into keeping quiet via opening a Bar investigation which puts his law license in jeopardy.
What do you mean by the Trayvon case not being "as advertised"?
Tinfoil nonsense.
Thanks for demonstrating to everyone just how much tinfoil is involved.
