Jul 2013

There is no way 83 people (probably more by now) think the media, police dept., fire and rescue, and many others staged this just so Zimmy could rescue some one? Fire and Rescue? Come on!!

More than likely, Zimmy has a scanner, heard it, went out to play Captain America.

Who cares about JustAnotherGen Jul 2013 #1
I wonder..... Politicalboi Jul 2013 #2
That was my first thought as I read the story: was the saved family black? AndyA Jul 2013 #7
That would be the headline tblue Jul 2013 #103

The Sanford Police spent time to stage a truck rollover to make Zimmy look good? snooper2 Jul 2013 #5
He probably did pull somebody out Lee-Lee Jul 2013 #6
Oh please. There are many ways to do this. There are people who wanrt this guy to be a hero. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #8
It would mean a police department is complicit and more corrupt than even Hollywood portrays Lee-Lee Jul 2013 #14
Yes I think it is very possible. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #17
hard to believe they'd stage an accident, but someone could have called zimmy to the scene of HiPointDem Jul 2013 #25
I would be more likely to believe Lee-Lee Jul 2013 #30
i didn't think of a scanner, and he'd be the type to have one. HiPointDem Jul 2013 #45

What exactly would be enough proof for you to admit that? Pelican Jul 2013 #40

Do you believe the family that wrecked was involved in this "setup"? Sissyk Jul 2013 #88
look I am not taking this at face value. If it is true I waill say i am wrong but I question it for hrmjustin Jul 2013 #92
So, for now, you do believe that all those people Sissyk Jul 2013 #95
I have no idea. I just question it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #97
Is there any proof yet that this was a staged PR stunt yet? tumtum Jul 2013 #101
This happened 4 days after the verdict and this is the first we are hearing of it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #102
But there's no proof that this is a staged PR stunt, is there? tumtum Jul 2013 #106
Well you not get me to say anything different unless you got proof. Why did it take so long to hrmjustin Jul 2013 #118
You're the one saying that this is a PR stunt, tumtum Jul 2013 #124
Yet they reported the suv was on fire, which does not seem true. Odd. uppityperson Jul 2013 #132
So you think that this was a PR stunt? tumtum Jul 2013 #135
It does not take that long to confirm a story like this. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #142
Do you have any proof that this story isn't true? tumtum Jul 2013 #145
I said several times that I have no proof. I do not believe this story to be true. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #148
Maybe, and sometimes a duck is just that, a duck. tumtum Jul 2013 #150
The fact that there were no injuries seems odd. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #153
If it was a PR stunt, wouldn't they have released it the day it happened? Travis_0004 Jul 2013 #187
maybe, but if it were a breaking news story now people could be questioned by reporters on the spot. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #190
There is now. EOTE Jul 2013 #272

So, there is no confirmation about this story? AsahinaKimi Jul 2013 #12

Why not? tumtum Jul 2013 #39
No injuries. Ok you can take this at face value all you want. I do not believe it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #49
