THE STRESS OF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN

Spread The Love

Poor George Zimmerman.  Jail just isn’t his cup of tea.

According to Zimmerman’s new attorney Mark O’Mara, the self-appointed neighborhood watch man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin is “stressed out” and “frustrated” that he has to be in jail at all.  Well boo-hoo and cry me a river!

“I think he’s stressed. He’s certainly nervous,” O’Mara said of Zimmerman. “He is frustrated he was charged at all.”

Perhaps Zimmerman can cope by asking Trayvon Martin’s parents on how to deal with stress.  They’re experts on the subject, since they learned what it’s like to feel “stress” when their son went missing for 3 days and was marked as an unidentified John Doe lying dead in the morgue. They gained valuable experience with “stress” when they had to pick out a casket to bury their minor son in after he was murdered in cold blood. They picked up a few tips on “stress” when the local police department refused to arrest their son’s murderer, botched the investigation and allowed 2 months to pass before even a smidgen of justice was served.

Yes, George Zimmerman, we see why you’re “stressed.”  After all, why should you even be in jail at all???

I really don't think this man is *all there* mentally so I'm not suprised that he's having difficulty coping with the reality that he's been arrested (and being held) for a crime that he doesn't think he committed. In his mind, killing Trayvon was an act of "self-defense." Case closed.Men like Zimmerman scare the h*ll outta me. But I'm even more distrubed by police departments like the Sanford Police Dept. in Florida_and the Police Chief in particular_that seems to operate in a grossly incompetent manner, to say the least. The police chief sets the tone for how his/her department will operate.In the words of an elderly minister in my church "If the HEAD is crooked, the body CAN'T be right."

On a somewhat related note…..HERE'S an incarceration story AND pic that truly touches my heart: "Uncompromising Photos Expose Juvenile Detention in America" Exceprt: April 11, 2012The U.S. locks up children at more than six times the rate of all other developed nations. The over 60,000 average daily juvenile lockups, a figure estimated by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF), are also <span>disproportionately young people of color.</span> With an average cost of $80,000 per year to lock up a child, the U.S. spends more than $5 billion annually on youth detention.On top of the cost, in its recent report No Place for Kids, the AECF presents evidence to show that youth incarceration does not reduce recidivism rates, does not benefit public safety and exposes those imprisoned to further abuse and violence.Ross thinks his images of juvenile lock-ups can, and should, be “ammunition” for the ongoing policy and funding debates between reformers, staff, management and law-makers.… Read more »
