What a Hero or Whatever

The mainstream media is breathlessly reporting (here is Raw Story's breathful coverage) that George Zimmerman "resurfaced" last week to help rescue some people from an overturned vehicle.

So, breaking news: Murderers can also do nice things sometimes.

I don't really give a shit. I'm only posting about this at all because I find it fascinating that I'm obviously supposed to give a shit. But I was never under the impression Zimmerman only murdered people. I never had to believe he was unadulterated evil to believe that he did a terrible thing.

What's telling about George Zimmerman isn't that he is capable of good things. What's telling is that he is unrepentant about the bad ones.

And that's all I've got to say about that.
