Family rescued by George Zimmerman cancels press conference, fearing reprisals

If somebody can explain what these people did wrong, that’d be great.

ABC News:

The family rescued by George Zimmerman when they were trapped in an overturned SUV canceled a scheduled news conference today and is pleading for privacy.

Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children…

The Gerstles were expected to hold a press conference today at the office of Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara, but cancelled a few hours before it was supposed to take place.

“They have expressed to us that they are not comfortable doing media interviews at this time and they continue to ask for privacy,” the Seminole City Sheriff’s Office said in a statement…

The lawyer said that when he spoke to the Gerstles “their voices were trembling” and that they feared saying anything positive about Zimmerman “would be toxic.”

This is happening in the United States of America. People are afraid to publicly thank a guy for rescuing them, because he’s been declared an Enemy of the State by the Obama administration and their willfully, eagerly dishonest lackeys in the mainstream media.

This is exactly what Obama wants. Race relations have plummeted since he took office, and that’s by design. This “post-racial” president wants people to be afraid of each other. He wants people to resent each other. He wants to sow division and discord. That way, he can then step in and play mediator. That’s what his entire career has been about. That’s what his presidency has been about. Create a problem, and then tell everybody you’re the only one who can fix it. Government by Munchausen Syndrome.

How utterly repulsive. How utterly cynical. How utterly, utterly Obama.

Update: Charlie Rangel tells a lot of stupid lies about the Zimmerman case.

Update: Mistaken identity brings threats to Pennsylvania’s Pastor George A. Zimmerman. This is going to end badly. What a shameful legacy of the Obama era.

Update: And let’s not forget all the “mostly peaceful” #JusticeForTrayvon protests…
