Who or what is George Zinn? The elderly Zinn was the person who tried to distract the police in the immidiate aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. He was recently sentenced to prison for this incident and for possession of child pornography. Many assume that Zinn is a leftist. Others place him in the foreground of various conspiracy theories. None of which is surprising, tbh. But who was Zinn really? The article linked below is written from a somewhat conspiracist perspective, but it does contain a lot of interesting (and surprising) information about "the Forrest Gump of Utah".
The most straightforward interpretation is that Zinn was (at least nominally) a Mormon and a conservative Republican. He was a local profile and "gadfly" who always showed up at Republican election meetings and conventions. The man was also something of a prankster. Zinn lived alone in a small flat, had no known job for decades, and may have had mental problems. I get the impression that the Mormon Church kept him under surveillence (!) after suspending him from active membership for unknown reasons. Many others saw him as a harmless kook.
The article further points out that many conspiracy theories about Zinn simply aren´t true. He isn´t Jewish (despite a Jewish-sounding last name), nor was he a witness to what *really* happened on 9/11, et cetera. But why on earth did he try to help Kirk´s assassin get away? Here, we can only speculate. Maybe Zinn is mentally ill. Or maybe he really did dislike Kirk for some reason. There were rumors that Kirk was turning against Israel, while the Mormon Church is staunchly pro-Israeli. The article-writer wants to think that the rabbit hole goes deeper, that Zinn may have been an "asset" for some intelligence agency, or that he was bribed by somebody to distract the police. He also speculates that there may be some connection to "Mormon" sex cults, and what not.
One thing´s for sure. It seems the weird good luck of the Utahan Forrest Gump has run out.
