He looks like a member of the El Paso Chamber of Commerce.

Whatever way you frame it, Zimmerman is going to try to save his own skin and lie his way out of this, and since the police dosent seem to care, he'll probably get away with it.

How do you know he was a cold blooded murderer? Did O'Bama ell you that?

The reason the first photo was used by the media is that it was the only one available. It was from his 2005 arrest for assault.

Had the Sanford Police actually bothered to take a picture of Zimmerman, then maybe a current 2012 photo would have been published instead! However, there are no photos of his so-called broken nose and deep cuts. Not even a hospital report.

Of course not. But millions of Hispanics who look like Zimmerman are considered "person's of color". In fact, people, mostly white people who are critical of illegal immigration are often called "racists".

Hint: Latino is not a race.

BTW, blame the Sanford PD for Zimmerman being called "white", not the media. They list that as his race.
Zimmerman probably lists himself as "white" too.

True, and it really doesn't matter. If Zimmerman wants to call himself Asian, that's fine too. Apparently it's what was on the official police report.

One thing I will say, however, is that this whole story is turning into a media circus.

Sad this happened and it should not have happened.

But.

Tell me how a baby faced 17 year old skinny kid can take down a 28 year old large man and break his nose, bust his face up and bloody him?

If someone was busting your face up do you now not have the right to defend yourself?

Again, sad it happened but as I posted before the entire story is not out yet or being held back.


Zimmerman had a broken nose and a witness saw the boy on top of Zimmerman pounding away on his face.

Media wont cover that side though.

sure there are black people on welfare but they weren't the topic of discussing, they asked him about welfare recipients not black people, he just automatically thought black Opel as synonymous with welfare which is why he answered so stupidly.. and anyways

Who gets welfare? Despite prevailing stereotype, whites, not blacks, collect greatest share of public aid dollars Find Articles
