George Zimmerman has an unusually long-list of defenders who haven’t spoken to him much: Joe Oliver; his next door neighbor; his lawyers.
But one man he’s spoken to, Sean Hannity.
What a predictable person reach out to if you have a problem with mistreating a black person, Sean Hannity knows in advance who the real victim is, the one with less melanin.
The guy who cut his teeth in radio filling in for Bob Grant and having avowed racists call to rant about African Americans and mocking Abner Louima when he was “Giuliani-timed” by the New York City police has become the go to talking head for making a black victim into a villain.
For which he is handsomely paid.
Meanwhile, no one seems to know where Zimmerman is, except he isn’t in Florida and, according to his now former “lawyers of the year“, may not be competent. Oh and he can still carry around that 9mm.
But no problem, I’m sure.
Let us know if you see Joe Oliver driving a White Bronco.
UPDATE:
In completely unrelated breaking news…let’s hope this isn’t a repeat of 20004, but there has been another gigantic earthquake of 8.9 or so off the coast of Aceh province in Indonesia, tsunami warning issued.

Let’s hear it for the go-to employer of the despicable, Faux News, where speaking the low bottom feederish makes you a ratings magnet.
All of Fox Nation stands up as one to say, “I am George Zimmerman”.
Ah, yes, but do their hoodies all have little devil horns on them?
Good morning ,
Could it be that George walks free and there is no need of any more lawyering ?
We shall see, now won’t we. Has the prosecutor decided she can’t win with the botched police work.
Botched? Looked like a skilled effort to throw the match.
The prosecutor says she is going to release “more evidence” about the case in the next 72 hours. How much you wanna bet it will be “evidence” that Martin has a shoplifting conviction or something equally heinous that will make shooting him “justified”?
It will turn out that it was Trayvon Martin that did the stalking, attacking what looked like a soft target.

As for Zimmerman I’d be hiding too if there was a DOJ sanctioned dead or alive bounty on my head. Hannity is likely the most accessible person to talk to. Considering that MSNBC has already judged him guilty, who else is he going to contact?
She doesn’t seem like the sort that wants a job at Faux, actually.
Where is your evidence for that?
BTW: Your link isn’t “evidence” of anything but the kind of sites you hang around. The writer is merely speculating. As for “doubling back”, do you think it’s possible that he was trying to lose the creepy guy following him, (who was doing so against direct orders from the police)?
Bullshooter only gets a quarter for every response. How’s he gonna keep tweakin’ and geekin’ at that rate? Have a quarter, 242.
Good morning, pups. It’s Dowd and Friedman this morning. In “State of Cool” MoDo explains how one “Make my day” image of Hillary Clinton wearing shades on a military plane has endowed her with Clint Eastwood cool. The Moustache of Wisdom, in “I’m Not Mitt Romney,” says he’s got the perfect campaign slogan for 2012. And for the first time in American history, it would work for both candidates.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got apple cranberry muffins that are still warm. Ahhh… The jasmine is blooming, so I think I’m going to take a cup of tea outside even if it is still a bit chilly. Have a great day. 233 days to go.
Thanks for the warning and for rebutting the DOJ nonsense….I was wondering how I’d missed that…..Can shooter be banned for lying?
Oh, yeah.
If i’m the prosecutor, I am now worried that even if I bring charges he may not be competent to stand trial. Further, unless he’s maintaining contact with the police, I’d consider him a flight risk.
So far as I know, they haven’t issued a warrant. So the police at least think they know where he is.
But it seems a bit early to make such a move, given that Zimmerman hasn’t been charged and might not be.
Boxturtle (I worry that he may go postal somewhere)
She’s behaving like someone who’s had a live rattlesnake tossed in her lap. With some justification.
There’s a lot of pressure to be as public as possible going against the prosecutors general instincts to say nothing. Especially when you don’t even have charges filed.
Boxturtle (And her position is weaker than it should be, thanks to SYG)
He’s armed, he feels persecuted, and every Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson movie ever made is rolling around in his head. This may not end well.
And of course Fox Nation will cheer him on every step of the way.
Thanks, Marion, hilarity from the Friedman unit. Wants the Prez to go ballistic and everyone will just jump into line and support him as the angry black president. Oh, rrrriiiigggghhhhhhtttttt.
Since it hasn’t happened yet, I’d say not going to happen.
I don’t think Zimmerman is even in the United States anymore. Maybe we should be asking if his parents have a vacation home somewhere. Majorca? Dubai? Europe?
He can be ignored.
It’s like i wake up and someone shits in my first cup of coffee.
‘may go postal’?
Seems he did that already. Can it be a good idea to issue a warrant if you can’t deliver it? I guess No.
He already did in case you missed it.
I don’t think the Panthers did anybody any favors with that bounty on his head. Now he’s got a legit fear of anybody black who looks at him sideways. Is it a panther? is it someone who just wants the money? Whatever prejudices and fears he had before are now doubled.
And he’s still armed. And I’ll bet he’s bought a lot of bullets.
And I think people looking for charges that stick shouldn’t put much hope in the “new information” coming out. If it was stuff that could lead to charges, they wouldn’t wait three days.
Boxturtle (Given the pressure the prosecutor is under, I doubt they’d wait 3 minutes)
I owe you a drink. Tasty coffee perhaps?
coffee didn’t kick in that reply of course was to Ruth at 20
Mother is from Peru, I read. But the Faux mindset makes me think he’ll head for a survivalist camp.
Including themselves. If it was me, I wouldn’t be worried about that particular clown car coming after me. On the other hand, I’m not a racist asshole.
Naw, that ain’t postal, that’s just murder. Or manslaughter, at least. Postal implies emptying his gun at multiple people with lots more hurt.
And I think it very possible.
Boxturtle (He wasn’t exactly a balanced personality before all this pressure hit him)
I read that too and after I posted I was wondering about being sent to live with relatives there. All I know is that if the races had been reversed, FAUX “News” and dear old shooter would be screaming bloody murder that the killer was missing.
Okay, guessed as much, and the coffee will be fine. ;-}
How about some cranberry juice?
And, a lintless roll.
You have a point. The aggressive behavior probably is just one result of fear, induced of course by the race baiting of hate radio/tv he seems to attach to.
No lint? Will it taste right?
Good morning all.
Oh, I’d worry. And it wouldn’t be racist. There are a lot of people out there that would kill for $10K, white or black. Or any race, for that matter. Some might come looking. Some might just take a chance if they saw me.
Boxturtle (I’d probably worry about the mailman, if it was my butt being hunted)
If shooter’s here, I’m gone.
If Fox Nation didn’t have the “New Black Panthers”, they’d have to invent them. Oh, wait.
Margaret already asked it for actual facts, so no worries, it’s slunk off.
O’Keefed up!
Oh, that pesky Peg!
Gosh, another big earthquake. Did they get a tsunami? I just turned on the news.
Keep hearing it’s past time for it to hit nearby, but watch still up.
Got it. Apparently, there was an aftershock that may trigger one. Gosh, an after shock of 8.2. That’s heavy.
Good Morning.
I keep unflagging and flagging. My fly swatter doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to.
The truth will set you free! and seems to be working.
Yes, truth is the best medicine for all ills. Glad the old swatter has gotten it’s mojo back.
Can we start a FDL pool on when the Prosecutor makes her announcement ?
I’ve got dibs on Friday 5:00 slot.
I better not join this time. I had my own personal bet that Newtie would have already been out, but that hasn’t happened yet.
That sounds right.
You people are unfathomable. Since you all think the Black Panther wanted poster and reward aren’t noteworthy, how about the same deal for the KKK? I’ll bet there’s someone willing to pay $10,000 to take out Sharpton.
Fair is fair right?
Lurking until the show’s moved on, and getting the last word in? You need to go to Balloon Juice, they lurves them some 242 over there. These Firepups are too polite and well-moderated, they don’t give you your earnings.
And BTW, have another quarter.
I heard yesterday that his mother lives in Peru.
Oops, didn’t see your comment when I replied.
Reply to #18 . . .
Maybe a wealthy abettor is helping Z construct a new identity. Cosmetic surgery and the whole schmear?
It’s getting more bizarre by the day.
Second degree murder if there’s any justice.
Maybe if his blackness prevents him from being strong when he needs to be, we made a huge mistake in electing him, and will make an even bigger mistake if we re-elect him? He’s STILL black, right?
There isn’t any. And “stand your ground” is a catch-all, hide-behind law I’m afraid.
