#1 Face to a Name ---- Mark and Dana Gerstle with their two children ---- By the way Mark, did you say thank you to George Zimmerman for the assistance ?
Let's not do that. These poor innocent bystanders are still trying to get over having nearly died. Let's not hand them the burden of being the next subjects of the Left's Two Minutes of Hate. And just for practice, let's try assuming they were properly grateful to their rescuers when they were rescued, 'k?

#5 The press already published a picture of the family. The media had the grace - legal sense, more likely - to pixellate the kid's faces.

I suspect they've already thanked Mr. Zimmerman, albeit not publicly. I also suspect they also don't want a couple of New Black Panthers standing around near their driveway or their kids' bus stop like a couple of lost missionaries.

#6 I'd sue their asses anyways, if I declined an interview for fear of violence and had my photo/info published anyways.

An accident as a matter of public record, the patients could be figured out. By making a story out of it, the media strapped a lightning rod onto them.

Which is the real story here, that it is the media which put them in danger and that the agitated are violent.

As for patients and responders, those who live are very thankful of the other and those who do not are missed but not forgotten. The instant something bad happens is the instant that person/group is having the worst day of their life.

#7 Welcome to Barack Obama's America

The fact that this family is in fear for their lives from Government sponsored and government trigger retaliation for simply thanking someone who may have saved their lives is a very bad indication of where we are in this country.

The fact that the left fully embraces 'Free Mumia' the Philidelpha Cop-murderer (he didn't just kill the cop - he murdered him in cold blood) while at the same time having a government sponsored and government initiated witch hunt and lynching of George Zimmerman and anyone (like this family) who would dare to say anything nice about him - shows us just how depraved and disgusting the left - and the Obama administration - really is.

Honor a Murderer and prosecute a Hero. That is what the world is coming to.

But they called today and said they were more worried about blow back from saying anything that would be favorable to George, and decided they did not want to do any media


They said it without saying it. Of course, that means the liberals won't get it even more than if they had said it.
