After the gun nut donations and the paid interviews wane, what will Zimmerman do for work?

Would you work for a company that would hire him?

Would you hire a company or use the services of a company that would hire him?

Not me.

This guy is OJ, redux. Without the friends and connections.

He'll crash and burn.

4. He'll write a book

Or rather, a ghostwriter will write a book based on Z-man's rantings and ramblings.

Probably title it something like "God's Plan."

He'll need some kind of money to keep up his martial arts training program.

And, some sickos will buy it and put it on a pedestal. That's my prediction.

9. Donations From Nutters?

Ann Coulter has a lot of money, Geraldo Rivera ... he will live off the generosity of creepy ass crackers for a while until he slips into obscurity ... which may take longer if a civil trial goes forward.

11. What company would want the liability of him on their premises?

I can't imagine anyone wanting to have him around and risk protest and violence. Not to mention customer boycotts.

13. There are racists who own businesses. He'll probably find work with them.

I don't think this is the last we will hear from Mister Zimmerman. I believe this guy has a temper. Did he not beat the shit out of a woman when he was working off the books as a bouncer? Does he not have a domestic violence incident in his curriculum vitae? Did he not once get in a shoving contest with the local police?

He clearly is short in the "self control" department, so it's only a matter of time before he finds himself in trouble again.

Or maybe he'll be a paid speaker at Tea Party gatherings, or maybe he'll run for office.

16. A Private "Security" Company
Sun Jul 14, 2013, 12:36 PM
Jul 2013

A private "security" company will bring him on board as their pet celebrity consultant. He will eventually get trained up and be able to teach others how to correctly profile and kill unarmed suspects. It will drive sales from clients of a certain persuasion. Basically he'll be a racist rent-a-cop.

the interviews and endorsements, he'll be better off than most of us.
Sucks.

But even an agnostic can believe in Karma.

Eventually he will meet a blacker rabbit than even Fiver.

with money to burn who will serve as patron for RW celebrities. The Koch brothers come to mind, and the Heritage Foundation.

19. A cop. They already shoot people and get away with it. And then folks would be ok with him and a gun

Since we trust people with badges more than each other it would be a great way for him to win over folks. The second he puts on that uniform *bam* he is a responsible government employee while everyone else is a 'nutter'.
