Thoughts on George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin



There is a color that trumps black, white, Asian, or Hispanic and that color is green. Money is the ultimate neutralizer. If you become rich enough, your race no longer matters. Many people think that George Zimmerman has not been arrested because he’s a white/Hispanic man who shot a black boy. The real reason why he hasn’t been arrested is green. George Zimmerman is well connected and wealthy. His father is a retired judge and his mother is a court magistrate. They have the wealth and the connections to make this go away. George Zimmerman’s daddy has been making his messes go away for years and now he’s trying to make this go away and he was pretty successful. I’m sure George Zimmerman was well coached in what to say and his dad greased a few palms to make the self defense thing stick. The Zimmerman family is powerful in Florida and I’d be shocked if daddy’s poker buddy actually lets his son’s friend end up in jail. George Zimmerman’s strory makes no sense but they’re trying to sell it as truth. Its on public record from at least 5 witnesses that George stalked Trayvon, called him a racial slur, and Trayvon was screaming before the shot was heard. That’s at least manslaughter.

I have a few questions about the pr spin the Zimmerman family is putting out there. 1, why did George Zimmerman have a gun if he was going to the store? I get having protection if you're in a nice neighborhood because people like to rob rich people but he was in an upscale neighborhood. If it was in his glove compartment, why did he feel the need to get it out to confront Trayvon Martin? Also, why did he get out the car if he was going to the store? This man was looking for something. 2, who is this black friend that was able to quit his job and go on this media tour? It was proven that this man barely knew Zimmerman. 3, if George Zimmerman was as injured as they're portraying him to be, broken nose, beaten so badly that he was about to pass out, how did he have the sense to pull out his gun and use it. Guns don't go off accidentally. It takes 11 pounds of pressure to fire a gun. Also, how did he walk into the station without any help and why were there no obvious injuries or treatment. This man didn't have a bruise or a band aid. And if he was that beat up, why did he wait until the next day to get treatment? None of that makes sense.  

The leaks are coming from the police department. The Zimmerman family is fighting back. They are leaking slanderous information about Trayvon that has nothing to do with the case or even that night. That night, Trayvon was walking a strange neighborhood with a pack of skittles and an iced tea for his brother and he had the misfortune of running into George Zimmerman. No matter what Zimmerman supporters say, Trayvon did not have to answer to George because he was a volunteer neighborhood watch person, who according to one of his many stories, wasn’t even on duty at the time. George Zimmerman had no badge or credentials. He has no legal power at all. He did not have a right to shoot Trayvon, which is why they’re using the self defense argument

I think that George Zimmerman's lawyers are taking the wrong approach. The entitled, "he came for me, so I had the right to shoot him" isn't working. The "I'm the victim" isn't working either. I think George Zimmerman should humble himself and admit some guilt. He also needs to call Trayvon Martin's family and tell them what happened. He's calling Fox news and all types of people, why not call the family of the victim and tell them what happened? I'm sure they would appreciate it.
