George Zimmerman Reality TV Show Idea Floated

He might be described as Florida’s most notorious residents by some. But, for Robert Zimmerman Jr., the man who continues to make less-than-positive headlines is simply his little brother.

Putting a more upbeat spin on those headlines is something Robert would very much like to see. After all, as he told GQ, the entire Zimmerman family has suffered from George’s notoriety.

George Zimmerman is the neighborhood watch captain who was acquitted in 2013 in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He faced second-degree murder charges in that highly publicized case that called Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law into question.

Ever since George’s arrest in Martin’s death, the family has lived in fear of danger, Robert told GQ. The New Black Panthers even put out a $10,000 bounty for a “citizen’s arrest” of George.

With the trial now long behind him, George continues to make the news. The 30-year-old was recently implicated in a road rage incident and has also had brushes with the law related to domestic issues and traffic violations since the acquittal.

Robert would like to see the Zimmerman image – especially George’s – rebranded, Bay New 9 reported.

He’s floated ideas, such as launching a family business that sells security-related products, but his ‘ultimate goal” would be a reality TV show starring George that falls somewhere in between John Walsh from “America’s Most Wanted Fame” and the Kardashians. So far, there haven’t been any takers on the TV idea.
