@glitterbag,
Hawk's committed to seeing Zimmerman as the poor abused victim of the state.
Of course, that involves denying all of the provocative and aggressive actions Zimmerman has engaged in, since his acquittal for killing Trayvon Martin, that have caused him to have repeated run-ins with the police. And it wasn't as though Zimmerman didn't have problems with aggressive impulses, serious debt, and relationships with women, even before he killed Martin--his wife walked out on him the night before he killed Martin because she was tired of taking his emotional abuse.
And he remains a ticking time bomb, which is how the Lake Mary Chief of Police has characterized him, and even his lawyer just said he thinks Zimmerman needs mental health treatment because he keeps winding up in a courtroom. Zimmerman was receiving some sort of mental health treatment at the time he killed Martin, so his problems now can't just be chalked up to PTSD as the result of all he went through with that.
Hawkeye loves promoting male victimhood. If Zimmerman's difficulties are seen as due to his own making, which they are, including his ill-fated and impulsive decision to follow Martin, rather than just remain in his car that night, Hawk couldn't embrace him as a victim.
It's all about Hawkeye's agenda of promoting male victimhood. But, in the case of Zimmerman, he's really picked the wrong poster boy.
