How do you blow an interview with Barbara Walters before the first question? Ask Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman. After much negotiation between his lawyers and ABC, Walters flew down to Florida yesterday to interview the Zim. She even agreed to air her interview with George after Sean Hannity's, so she wasn't even getting the first scoop. But at the last minute George came in making some crazy-ass demands. Walters had no choice but to bail on the interview with Zimmerman.
Apparently George showed up for his interview wearing a t-shirt instead of a suit. "That should have been my first clue," Walters later said. George then told Barbara that he wouldn't do the interview unless she granted one more wish request. Barbara declined to reveal what that request was, but the New York Post claims they know.
Walters says only that George's request "was a condition that, being a member of ABC News, I was unable to grant." But supposedly George Zimmerman told Walters he would do the interview only if ABC would pay to put him and his wife up in a hotel FOR A MONTH.
He made that kind of demand of Barbara Freakin' Walters?!? What is the matter with you, son? This morning on The View Walters said she had the impression "he is desperate for money" and that he's concerned about the safety of his family, who face death threats. But the ladies called it: "He's crazy," said Roseanne Barr. Thank you, Roseanne! My thoughts exactly.
But the zany deepens: The Zim and his lawyer called into the show to say they would do the interview after all -- for free! AYFKMWTS?!? Walters said no because just NO. Sheesh.
So if you suspected all along that maybe, perhaps George Zimmerman is just a wee bit unhinged, you are correct. Oh sure, he's all stressed out now because of the death threats and such. (If you blink you'll miss my daily five seconds of compassion for George Zimmerman just zoom on by!) But what's with telling Sean Hannity that the events that unfolded that fateful night (i.e. George stalking and shooting an unarmed boy) are "all God's plan"?!?
Jesus wept!
What do you think George Zimmerman's actions say about his mental state?

Good grief, the man and his immediate and extended family have all received hundreds of death threats, and there is a bounty on his head. All of his extended family have lost their jobs and have no income. They have had to flee their homes and are in hiding. At any moment if any one of them are found that have to immediately flee, and have to find a new place to hide. And you are too stupid to understand why he is trying to have a few dollars on hand to cover that?
Now, let me see if I have this straight; Roseanne Barr is calling someone else "crazy", you applaud her, and somehow Zimmerman is the one who is "unhinged"?!?!?!????
Zimmerman is unhinged! DUH?! Have you not kept up with anything other than the "head bashing on the sidewalk"?! SERIOUSLY? XD Get a grip and read some NEWS.
Death threats? Maybe he should have thought about that between the time he was slow-drive stalking Trayvon and the pleas made by 911 operator to not get out of his car to approach him. Plenty of time there...
I don't think he's unhinged (more than the average sociopath). He just doesn't see how anything he did was wrong. That's a deep character flaw, not a mental illness.
