That's a statement from papa Zimmerman from an upcoming interview that will appear in next month's GQ magazine. As reported by TPM
Robert Zimmerman told GQ that his son is nervous about his safety in general after becoming the focus of national attention following the shooting. He also said his son is concerned about the possibility of being charged with federal civil rights violations, despite being acquitted on state criminal charges last year, according to the magazine.
He's worried "if FBI agents come and kick in his door, he's probably gonna shoot a few of them," Robert Zimmerman said, according to GQ.
WTF? Maybe the family is feeling neglected now that other killers of unarmed young black men are getting all the attention? Dunno.
And why would you be so worried that the FBI was going to come and kick in your door unless maybe you were up to things that might bring the FBI down on you? The local police barely bother with him. After all, it's not like he's an unarmed black guy.
Since George's acquittal (no comment) , the poor Zimmermans, who only wanted to live in peace and privacy (except for all of the TV appearances, interviews, press tours his brother and father went on during and after the trial not to mention the additional run-ins with police Georgie's had) have been very very afraid.
So much so ( and no, this is not snark I'm making up):
They watched the movie Argo to learn how to live like CIA. Code names for everyone. No mail delivered to the house. No visitors. No talking to the few neighbors they had. No long phone conversations—keep it short and vague to outwit surveillance. Never discuss your whereabouts via phone or text. Keep a weapon close by at all times. Robert slept with his gun. Still does.
And in case someone—or multiple someones—decided to mount an attack on the house, the Zimmermans pre-packed their own "go-bags" filled with everything they would need to flee in a rush, as well as what they called "footballs"—like the one President Obama has with the nuclear codes—that contained laptops, cell phones, and other essential electronics.
They also memorized a color-coded threat-ID system. Code blue: Law enforcement at the door. Code brown: Draw your weapons. Code black: Come out guns blazing.
WTF x 2?
Interesting color coding don'tcha think?
Compare and contrast to Trayvon Martin's family. After suffering an actual tragedy and unbearable loss, not to mention withering racism from anonymous people most of whom supported George, they reach out to other families like that of Mike Brown to continue to fight for justice. These are people who have something to cry about. The Zimmerman family? Palin-esque. Wouldn't surprise me if they're shopping a reality show.
