  • The MSM is highly mis-leading when they said Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed black teenager! Superficial and casual reading of such statements will lead you to the incorrect conclusion. Zimmerman was being beaten and ‘his head was slammed several times against a concrete sidewalk’! This case has nothing to do with racism IMO. It is overblown to foment racial unrest in America! Emphasis mine:

  • Media’s Identification As ‘White Hispanic’ Served Misleading Purpose! 
    by http://m.latintimes.com/ 
    George Zimmerman is at the center of the nation’s latest debate over racial profiling. Zimmerman is the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case gained national attention for its racial elements: a 26-year-old white man murdering an unarmed black boy. Zimmerman was cast a racist by civil rights activists who then called for his immediate arrest and prosecution in Florida. But details about his complicated idenitity have surfaced, which his family and supporters are pointing to as evidence that he did not commit a racially motivated hate crime.

    Zimmerman was born to a Peruvian mother, Gladys, and a white father, Robert. Zimmerman was first believed to be of Jewish descent due to his surname, but we later discovered that he was brought up Catholic and served as an altar boy. While the public sifts through all of the media’s inconsistencies, the question remains who exactly is George Zimmerman? Unfortunately for mainstream media, and extreme demonstrators on either side, this is not a black and white case.

  • George Zimmerman Was Beaten, Two Prosecution Witnesses Say! 
    by (@seniABC)  and  (@mattgutmanABC) 
    Two witnesses called by the prosecution today described George Zimmerman as being on the losing end of a fight with Trayvon Martin in the moments before Zimmerman shot the Florida teenager.
    –
    However, an EMT who was on the scene immediately following the shooting testified that she treated Zimmerman for five minutes before releasing him into police care.

    Zimmerman,  29, is facing second degree murder charges for shooting and killing Martin on Feb. 26, 2012. He maintains he shot Martin, 17, in self defense after his head was slammed several times against a concrete sidewalk.
    –
    John Good  told the jury today that he yelled “stop” at both men shortly after realizing that what he at first assumed to be a dog attack was actually two men grappling on the ground.
    –
    “I said cut it out. I’m calling 911 because it was getting serious,” said Good. Good testified that he saw what he believed to be Martin on top of Zimmerman. “The color on top was dark and the color at bottom was…red,” Good said referring to the men’s clothing.
    –
    At another point he told the court that the person on the bottom had “lighter skin color.” Zimmerman is a white Hispanic who was wearing a red and black jacket that night. Martin, who was black, was wearing a dark sweatshirt. “The person on the bottom, I could hear a ‘Help,'” he said.
    –
    Under cross examination by Zimmerman’s lawyer, Good said he believes he saw Martin on top punching Zimmerman “MMA style,” a reference to mixed martial arts.
    –
    “The person on top was ground and pounding the person on the bottom?”asked Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara. “Correct,” said Good
    –
    Good testified that he did not see Martin banging Zimmerman’s head on the concrete.
