n February 2012, George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch coordinator for his gated community in Sanford, Florida, shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager.

After initially being allowed to go free, Zimmerman was arrested, charged with second-degree murder and eventually acquitted. During and after his trial, Zimmerman became a hero of the conservative movement. Sean Hannity of Fox News, one of the most powerful voices in conservative media, called the Zimmerman trial purely political.

Alex Seitz-Wald wrote in Salon that Ann Coulter, tea party nation founder Judson Phillips and David Horowitz are just a few of the conservative figures who portrayed Zimmerman as the victim of a left-wing media lynch mob.

The most positive thing that could possibly be said about Zimmerman is that he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a 17-year-old. Even if that is what happened, what is it about Zimmerman that made him such a conservative darling?

Unfortunately for his fans in the conservative media, Zimmerman has managed to destroy any remnants of a positive reputation that existed following his acquittal in the Martin case.

After domestic violence-related arrests in 2013, Zimmerman took his behavior to a new low last week when he allegedly threatened to kill a driver during a road rage incident in Lake Mary. The driver later called 911 to report that Zimmerman was waiting in his car outside the drivers place of employment.

Interestingly, despite Zimmermans repeated arrests, none of his victims including his girlfriend have ever agreed to press charges. It is impossible to know the motivations of these individuals, but it seems at least plausible that their inaction stems from fear of Zimmerman.

Zimmerman isnt the first conservative role model whose reputation has quickly gone sour.

Cliven Bundy, a Nevada rancher, became involved in a dispute with federal agents from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management after 20 years of refusing to pay grazing fees for his use of federal lands. Bundy quickly became a conservative symbol of anti-taxation and liberty, and his hero status persisted even after he and his supporters pointed weapons at federal agents.

Albuquerque, N.M. (PRWEB) September 17, 2014

Sometimes a vacation experience is so amazing that visitors may consider "missing" the return flight home. Travelers who love this feeling need to visit Albuquerque this fall. This is the season locals call magical and the one thats looked forward to throughout the year.

Here are six reasons to fall head-over-heels in love with Albuquerques amazing autumn:

1. Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta - More than 500 hot air balloons dot the clear blue skies during this annual event, creating a feast for the eyes. Early risers can witness the mass ascension events, eat world-famous breakfast burritos, and see the sun rise over the Sandia Mountains. In the evenings, balloons stay on the ground for glow events, allowing visitors to see these beauties up close. There will also be concerts, competitions and new special shapes, including an orca and a snail. This years event runs October 4-12.

2.Chile Roasting Season Snap, crackle and pop! Its a sound that fills the air at dozens of locations throughout the city where chiles are roasting. Fall is chile harvest season, and visitors will see roasters set up everywhere, from the grocery store to farmers markets and restaurants. If native New Mexicans had to pick one smell that reminds them of home, most would choose roasting chiles in the fall. See the roasting in action, then go to one of the many local restaurants that incorporate them into dishes, from donuts to stuffed sopapillas.

3.Fall colors from many angles Most people dont think of the Southwest when they think of vibrant fall colors, but Albuquerques location in a river valley and altitude more than a mile high means that the city has many deciduous trees, from cottonwood to aspen. To see the trees up close, take a bike tour along the Rio Grande on the citys well-known Bosque Trail, a paddling tour on the river, or a breathtaking tram ride to the top of the more than 10,000-foot-high Sandia Mountains. Those who enjoy driving can also take the Sandia Crest National Scenic Byway to reach the ranges highest point.

4.Balloon-themed cocktails Whether celebrating a first hot air balloon ride or winding down after an activity-filled day, there are two balloon-themed cocktails that will fit the occasion perfectly. Ibiza, the hip rooftop bar at historic Hotel Andaluz, is offering Pilots Punch, a champagne-based cocktail thats a nod to hot air balloon pilots who frequently pop a bottle of bubbly to celebrate a flight. Just a few minutes away, another historic hotel with a hip rooftop bar, Hotel Parq Centrals Apothecary Lounge, has created the Chile Berry Glow. This warm cocktail celebrates the flavors of the season, with red chile powder, raspberry and chocolate, and is made tableside in an infuser over an open flame, inspired by the flame in a hot air balloon.

5.Weather Simply put, Albuquerques October weather is spectacular. Most days are clear and sunny, with highs in the 70s and lows around 50. Humidity is nearly nonexistent, meaning conditions are ideal for spending time outside. Early risers can take in a balloon ride or hike. Dress in warm layers for the cool mornings that can be peeled off as the sun comes up. And, dont miss the sunsets some of the most stunning in the world, due to big skies, beautiful clouds and a landscape featuring mountains that turn a watermelon pink as the sun goes down.

6.Events Aside from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque has many more events happening in the fall. From pumpkin patches to corn mazes and ghost hunts, its a great city for fall traditions. There are also several arts and cultural festivals, including events with a Native American focus and a Greek-inspired celebration. One of the most colorful events in fall is Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which is used to honor deceased loved ones in a celebratory fashion. Brightly decorated skulls can be seen everywhere, from jewelry and art, and even as face painting!
