I don't understand the media...

[nuke]

On last night's local news where I live, they reported that Zimmerman was stopped for speeding in Texas. It was a routine stop, the dash cam showed the officer and nothing unusual. They reported that Zimmerman volunteered that he had a firearm in the glove box. NOTHING HAPPENED. The cop let him go with a warning. NOTHING HAPPENED. WTF was this even on the news for?

Prepare for footage the next time a camera is around and Zimmerman uses a public restroom.

Just now saw that on TV here in Washington. The media is a pot stirrer plain and simple, nothing more. They don't care about facts.
As you stated who gives a rats backside.
They will never give the guy a break. Mr Zimmerman, were you armed with a deadly weapon when you used the restroom.

Who cares!

they want to make sure his life is ruined.

Wondering how the news media even found out about the traffic stop since no citation was issued? Did the Police Officer call the Newspaper?...The story I saw on Google News even had a google map showing the exact location of the stop and made a big deal out of the fact that Zimmerman was armed....What a joke!!!!

Would the news media share some culpability if Z were stalked and attacked on his cross-country trek since the media decided to report the progress of his journey? It's almost as if they are inciting violence against the man.

[jocko]

well at least he is packin again, so he has bought himself a gun or had one given to him...kudos to him on that.

This diverts attention away from the phony scandals like Benghazi, IRS Gate and Obamacare, just to name a few.

This is the correct answer.

Plus I'd like to hear an answer to what getsome posted.

How did this even become a news report?

I watched the video this morning and when the officer returned to the car to run his checks, I heard his iphone taking a picture, him typing on his iphone keyboard, and then him send the message.

Zimmerman didn't even get his license back before the officer had let someone know about it. At least the cop was respectful.

YAAA and they also showed his license plate number and type of vehicle on the t.v. news......real nice:32:

They probably have a drone overhead 24/7 to keep track of him.

I'm not sure where Zimmerman stands mentally, but anyone in his situation would do well to accept that this IS his new life. He can't change what happened or the media's reaction
so trying to restart his former life is pointless.
I'm not saying that's what Zimmerman's trying to do, I'm just saying that a shooting incident (especially one with this much publicity) will change a persons life forever and the sooner you accept that and move forward the better......your old life is over.
