Frequent MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart took to the Washington Post’s opinion blog Monday afternoon to denounce the latest actions from George Zimmerman. Citing the news that Zimmerman was arrested earlier in the day on what appears to be domestic abuse charge by his girlfriend, Capehart wrote “We don’t know what the official charges are just yet, but if TMZ is right, Zimmerman is once again in big trouble.”
Capehart goes on to explain the scant details of what we know so far about Zimmerman’s latest domestic dispute, before making a stark analogy about the Florida man’s role in 21st century culture:
“At the rate things are going, Zimmerman is on his way to becoming the O.J. Simpson of the 21st century. That is, a notorious personality eventually put behind bars for something other than the original crime everyone believes he committed but got away with.”
During the murder trial this past summer over the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Capehart was one of MSNBC’s many outspoken critics of Zimmerman’s defense team, at one point attacking attorney Don West for acting “cold” and “culturally unaware” towards the prosecution’s witness Rachel Jeantel.
Nicole Simpson had OJ on the ground pounding his head on the sidewalk?
I totally agree- he has been a marked man and will never have any peace. I wonder if he isn’t purposely trying to get convicted of something, anything in order to go to jail.
By going to jail, perhaps then- people will leave him alone. I don’t know any of us that could live day to day with constant death threats, be on national news if you so much as look at some one the wrong way.
The only way this man could find any peace would be to do a name change and get plastic surgery.
He is self-destructing because he has been pushed beyond a normal human limit. How many of us could survive the brutal media this man has?
Very few....
George Zimmerman
Yeah, what an arrogant busy body! /s
George Zimmerman is a HOF running back, who onced rushed for over 2,000 yards in a 14 game season. Who would have ever knew?
My "sympathy for George Zimmerman" account is pretty much zeroed out at this point.
Which is exactly the response these repeated manufactured incidents are intended to create.
I don't see any evidence to make me think they're manufactured.
I think Zimmerman's a "buff." A cop wannabe.
He seems to have a knack for getting where trouble is.
I know the type. I've worked with people like that.
If I'm wrong about this, I'll regret having felt this way. I only know what I see in the media, at least as concerns George Zimmerman.
The guy should be trying to take the lowest possible profile. It's not that hard; millions of people - including myself - do it every day, for years at a time.
Instead, he seems to be popping up all the time. Why? Are you saying it's a conspiracy? Are the Sanford police working with the feds and the media to take him down and discredit the whole pro-Second-Amendment movement?
If such a conspiracy exists, it seems to me that George Zimmerman is playing into their hands. If I knew him, I would suggest to him in the strongest terms I could think of that he should back off and fade into the background of American life, like lots of other people.
