He told a Spanish language television station he is now homeless, battling post-traumatic stress disorder, more than $2 million in debt and lives in fear for his life.
Zimmerman opened up on the Univision television show "Aquí y Ahora" (Here and Now) that will air Sunday on the Spanish language station at 7 p.m.
Zimmerman also discussed his well-known struggle with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen who was walking in Zimmerman's neighborhood in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.

(70,414 posts)put on a bit of weight since I last saw a pic of him. I pity him. But I do think he should check himself into a psy unit--for his sake and others around him.

(8,879 posts)and even the most disgusting among us deserve compassion. But he did kill a kid for walking who was only trying to avoid the Zimm right?

(3,316 posts)people like Zimmerman who feel like they're the victim when in reality they're the ones responsible for their own misery do not deserve compassion, at least not in my book
I've known way too many people who cry and moan about how crappy their lives are when it's their fault their lives are crappy
don't feel sorry for them in the least

This is what it feels like to be a winner when you kill a little kid without remorse.
Shut up and go away like Casey Anthony..

Trayvon doesn't get a chance to suffer from PTSD because some trigger happy fuckwad thought he was in the wild west.
