OK, this link goes to the Atlantic magazine news site, says nothing about the SUV being on fire. Quotes Washington Post update to the effect:
Blightbart has it as…
**Zimmerman Saves Family of Four in Florida Car Crash, Extinguishes Car Fire
**
And this all happened last Thursday? And we’re just finding out now?
Odd wrinkle. One of the news reports says the driver of the car said it was George Zimmerman who help him out of the car, but
WTF?
This just in…
President Obama made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room Monday to share his thoughts on this incident.
“It could have been me in that SUV 35 years ago,” Obama said, during extensive and deeply personal remarks that lasted for 18 minutes. “I was just…you know, a really bad driver. I rarely checked my mirrors…sometimes I would be eating a burrito or ah something similarly delicious…and ahh…you know… not really paying attention to what I was doing.”
This just in part II:

Yes, it’s unfortunate when the media exaggerates a story in order to further an agenda.
Now you sound like San Diego Mayor Fillner searching the for a willing female staffer.
What loser? Zimmerman is a good person; his actions here prove it.
I love it when the real headlines are funnier than the Onion headlines.
Oh look, it’s trying to be funny on its wobbly little legs!
If you wish three times, it will become untrue, as long as your heart is pure.
By the way, I do not engage with this poster due to his past dishonesty.
And as long as your wishes are consistent with The Narrative.
While pulling the victims out, he banged his head on the SUV and immediately fired six rounds in to it fearing for his life.
I’m glad you’re here. We haven’t had a political expert of your esteem here since we tarred and feathered Commissar.
But that was just because he was not a TRUE Marxist.
The two are not mutually exclusive. The number of cars 1 to 5 minutes up the road from an accident (and so close enough to help) but out of sight of the accident is far larger than the number close enough to see the accident as it occurs. The police report won’t mention people who helped out, but didn’t witness it, because helping out doesn’t help establish what happened. I personally have come upon considerably more than I’ve actually witnessed, and the cops never even took my name once I told them I arrived after the fact. Pretty much everybody who has put in a decent number of miles will have experienced the same.
The annoying thing is not that it’s ZIMMERMAN. The annoying thing is that it’s news. Just let him go back to his life. He was declared not guilty. Can we stop talking about him now?
And yes, the OP didn’t need to start this silly thread. At least we got some good zingers out of it, from both sides.
Lets be clear about why this is news. Conservatives want to point to this and say “See?! He was a good guy after all! You liberals were wrong about him! GZ was innocent and he should have been able to shoot TM and things happened exactly as he said!!”
Drivel. What he does afterwards has no bearing on the case, just as his lawyer’s slandering of a dead kid has nothing to do with the events of that night. Hell, GZ probably is trying to do this to get publicity, knowing the story will come out. He’s still a murderer to me and if conservatives disagree, maybe they can tell me how great OJ is for trying to find the real killers :dubious:
Please, don’t open that can** Yog**. It’s over. Done. Finished.
