And I wonder what the people who contributed to his 'defense fund' will think when they learn they paid off all of Geroge's bills, from his credit cards, to a loan from his mother, to Mrs. Z's nursing school tuition, etc. The only bills not paid were the water bill and car insurance ... because Mrs. Z could not do that online.
I am hoping that the people will realize that George Zimmerman and his family have ongoing expenses associated with just living. And since he lost his job as a result of the media exposure and lies, his defense includes paying these bills, meeting bail, and the costs of living in hiding.
To me, this is exactly what these contributions were intended for.
I would far rather pay for his living expenses now, while he can't, than have the money go to a lawyer, who got into the case for its publicity value and who will be handsomely rewarded by his percentage of the damages for the libels inflicted on Mr. Zimmerman.
In fact, I would love to see a "George Zimmerman general expenses fund". I would support him by contributing more to this than to a defense fund.
Shocked! Absolutely Shocked!! The audacity of he and his wife paying off their bills as people expected they would. Especially before they go into hiding from people who want to kill him.
Would you rather that he not paid them off, went delinquent, and filed for bankruptcy on top of everything else??? or would you rather the bailbondsman and the lawyers and the Circuit Court get it all??
Good to hear from you again, Angela.
And... who deserves it more than someone who volunteered to fight the crime and violence in his own neighborhood, and almost died trying, were it not for the gun the police TOLD him to buy to protect himself from the 'known' illegally wandering PIT BULLS.
Yet... it is OK for SHARPTON and JACKSON to be able to fly on private jets to spread RACIST VIOLENCE, with the FUNDS that the PUBLIC donates to them????
As someone who actually donated, I have no issues with it being used to pay living expenses. In fact, I had assumed that since he was no longer able to work for fear of getting killed, that they would pay their living expenses.
