ORLANDO, Fla. —

A husband and wife canceled a news conference in which they had planned to talk about how George Zimmerman assisted them after their SUV flipped over on a Florida highway.

Mark and Dana Gerstle had planned to speak Wednesday afternoon at the Orlando law office of Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara.

They’re afraid they’ll be victims of violence for being rescued. Is that crazy? This is where our society is now.

These people are the exact reason why the gop is the party of cowards. Look atthem all. Disgusting lowly things. Worms are higher than they are. They all cower in fear about these thousands of aggressors. Well where the hell are they? Where are these great race riots? The majority of the ones that have happened were predominantly populated by the middle class OWS hippies.

The appeasers that have.been hand wringing on this thread should just go away. They will be the same ones that will turn you in to uncle sugar if there is ever a hot civil insurrection withthe government. They are cowards and treasonists that spit on the blood of those who have fallen to keep them free. I would rather have obama over for supper than one of these so called patriotards to step foot on my property.

Easy to say from behind a keyboard.

Nicely said! Some people have absolutely no idea what a singular event such as a threatening phone call, a death threat letter in your mail box or something thrown at your house can have on you and your family psychologically.

You don't sleep well and every weird night time noise or some car you hear driving slowly by your house gets you out of bed and looking out the front window.

The family did the right thing and I hope they are armed.....

Thanks! O’Mara cracked me up. “Those who believe this was staged can do so. Many people believe the earth is flat. That is fine.” MEDIA: “Did George know these people beforehand?” “Oh no. The car was overturned on the side of the road.” (I noticed CNN was there.)

You would go into hiding because you were rescued?

It's your statement that is absurd, nobody said they were going into hiding except you. They just don't want the media attention and the possibile backlash that could result in it...Why is that such a sin?

And who aired the story in the first place? I doubt it was the family who called up the local paper and said "Guess what guys?"

And the police report didn’t redact their email addresses. I’m sure they’re living in fear now.

Public records are public records and not redactable.

But my question is:

How did the Daily Mail get those pictures of the family if not from the parents directly???

I would NEVER turn my back on someone who saved my families life.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Not everyone cares about having their fifteen minutes of fame. I, for one, have no interest in being interviewed by anyone from the MSM about anything. Period.

But didn't this family already open the door with the Daily Mail???

How else did they get those pictures???

Nothing good ever comes from talking with the press. Ever. They can say “we don’t want to associate with Zimmerman” to the press, then do the opposite in private.

Yep—Let’s teach thoise kids a lesson.

So it's better for the dad, who is supposed to be the protector of the family, to put the kids at risk of physical harm (or even death)?

Guess we'll have to disagree on that one.

By the way, why don't you and the others who on this thread who think they are cowards volunteer to serve as unpaid body guards for this family? Put your time and money where your mouth is.

That's what I don't understand:

You step up to the camera and merely confirm the facts of the public accident report. That's all.

Why would or should that bring repercussions. You are merely stating the facts that are a matter of public record. What is so life threatening about that???

But O'Mara spokesman Shawn Vincent says they changed their minds, deciding they didn't want to be in the spotlight...of course as usual AP lies by giving only half the story - they didn't want to be in the spotlight because they're afraid of death threats - verily, we are back in the jungle.....

A Cindy Sheehan nut event isn’t the same as this. There are hundreds if not thousands of people making death threats against Zimmerman, his family, his lawyer, and anyone else supporting him.

Far different then wearing a tshirt in front of a few code pink whackos. Unless of course you had the black panthers also at that event looking to kill people refusing to support Cindy.

-- You step up to the camera and merely confirm the facts of the public accident report. That's all. --

The reporters would throw questions, and no matter if the questions are answered or not, the press will fabricate a story around the appearance. There is ZERO probability of any good coming from agreement to talk with the press.

The family doesn't control the outcome once they agree to appear or to talk to the press.

Running toward danger yourself is one thing. Throwing your children into danger is quite another.

because the whackos won’t believe it. They’ll think this family is working with and helping Zimmerman.
