    Now it would be something if that person in the car was black.

    Sadly, I don't think that would make any difference. The current craziness has nothing to do with facts--just an excuse to vent frustration that should be directed elsewhere (white house? ethnic leadership?).

    Had Zimmerman choose not to pursue the truck in the first place, the accident would have never happened. :D

    That was my first thought. I was looking for more details but ABC seems to be the only source.

    I think it's the other way around. Someone knew where he'd be, and set up the wreck so that they could shoot video of him driving by so that they could put it on the internet saying, "See? What a dick! Drove right past without stopping to help!" but it turned out that he's not some heartless monster with murder in his heart, and he (IMHO) risked his safety by stopping to help, knowing full well that revealing his identity might give some nutjob a clue to where he's staying...

    After the Trayvon Martin tragedy, it probably makes this guy feel good to do something positive.

    Hey, if his conscience drives him to make up for murdering Trayvon and getting away with it, he could end up like the Incredible Hulk, wandering from town to town, doing good until someone pisses him off enough for him to murder them...

    The story could have been much different. Convicted and then in prison. Prison riot and GZ and other wrongfully convicted inmates escape and form a band of mercenaries fighting crime. They drive a Black van with a red stripe. I love it when a plan comes together.

    Do you think he is happy about killing Trayvon Martin? I bet it haunts him. That he would change his decisions that night if he could. It was just a series of bad decisions from both parties that ended up in tragedy.

    Totally agreed; that's what makes him Bruce Banner. I can see this as driving him to continually do good to make up for the most horrific mistake (though completely acquitted for) of his life.

    See, one of my good friends played Doctor with a 10 year old when he was 13, and was convicted later of that, so he'll never be free, ever, no matter how much penance he does, or good work he performs. The freedom Zimmerman has demands he do good, and I'm glad he's at least trying. I want to see him in a cape and cowl next.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but I feel sad for your friend.

    I'm actually half serious. My friend basically lost his freedom, his ability to take any job he wants, and his ability to live where he wants because he was tried as an adult 6 years after his "crime". This is FOREVER. One bad decision as a minor, and his chance at a normal life is effectively erased.

    I hope that Zimmerman feels that pressure on his conscience, and tries to make up for erasing another minor's chance at life. It'll give me hope for humanity.
