    the media attention has pretty much ended any chance of a “normal” life for him.

    Big “eh” there, he willingly stepped into the limelight after he walked, so I can’t blame the media for that one. I would say that at least Zimmerman had the good sense to shit up and fade away, but apparently he’s just super bad on the whole “right wing media” grift and has just floundered in his attempts to turn his vigilante murdering into a meal ticket like Rittenhouse has.

      Zimmerman tried to auction off the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin. When it didn’t get enough money, he took down the auction and then re-ran it to get more after the media attention. Zimmerman didn’t fade away, the GOP stopped throwing attention to him because chasing down an unarmed kid, shooting them, and then claiming you were standing your ground, definitely is murder, and it (should) be indefensible, but you know, “Florida”.
