What about Mr. George Zimmerman,
Judged as a bad man with an evil plan,
Overzealous and racist,
Even called a right-wing fascist,
Details illustrate a kind neighbor with an anti-crime plan,
“Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 – 1968)
John 8:32 (ESV)
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
“It May be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important”
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 – 1968)
I first want everyone to understand that if George Zimmerman is found guilty of murder in a courtroom, I fully support the death penalty as punishment. What upsets me is the public and media acts of aggression and revenge toward a man that no one knew very much about.
Mr. Zimmerman was convicted in the court of public opinion without proper evidence and I believe that the actions of many groups and individuals were criminal in nature and spurred violence against George Zimmerman and his family.
What a shame it will be for America if it is found that Zimmerman is a good man that was simply trying to help reduce crime in his neighborhood.
America is a land of laws and America’s reputation is now at stake! In America, we believe one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Why did this fundamental principle not apply to Mr. Zimmerman?
I would like to point out some new evidence that has recently surfaced that may change the public perception of Mr. George Zimmerman.
First, new pictures of George Zimmerman’s bloody head have emerged. This shows that he definitely did receive heavy damage from Trayvon Martin. This will support his self-defense case.
Below is a Youtube video with an eyewitness that Zimmerman was in fact being beaten by Travyon.
Business insider puts together some chronological bullets that illustrate a much different profile than what was reported by the liberal media.
· Zimmerman grew up in a mixed-race household
· He was an altar boy at his Catholic church from age 7-17
· He is bilingual
· After he finished high school, he studied for and got an insurance license
· In 2004, Zimmerman and a black friend opened an Allstate insurance office (which soon failed)
· Zimmerman’s 2005 arrest for “resisting arrest, violence, and battery of an officer” occurred after he shoved an under-cover alcohol control agent at a bar when the agent was trying to arrest an underage friend of his
· Zimmerman married his wife, Shellie, in 2007. They rented a house in Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes is about 50% white, 20% Hispanic, and 20% black.
· In 2009, Zimmerman enrolled in Seminole State College
· In the fall of 2009, a pit bull broke free twice and once cornered Shellie in the Zimmermans’ yard. George Zimmerman asked a police officer whether he should buy pepper spray. The cop told him pepper spray wasn’t fast enough and recommended that he get a gun.
· By the summer of 2011, Twin Lakes “was experiencing a rash of burglaries and break-ins.” In several of the cases, witnesses said the robbers were young black men
· In July 2011, a black teenager stole a bicycle off the Zimmermans’ porch
· In August of 2011, a neighbor of the Zimmermans, Olivia Bertalan, was home during the day when two young black men entered her house. She hid in a room upstairs and called the police. When the police arrived, the two men, who had been trying to take a TV, fled. One of them ran through the Zimmermans’ yard.
· After the break-in, George Zimmerman stopped by the Bertalans and gave Olivia a card with his name and number on it. He told her to visit his wife Shellie if she felt unsafe.
· The police recommended that Bertalan get a dog. She moved away instead. Zimmerman got a second dog–a Rottweiler.
· In September, several concerned residents of the neighborhood, including Zimmerman, asked the neighborhood association to create a neighborhood watch. Zimmerman was asked to run it.
· In the next month, two more houses in the neighborhood were robbed.
· A community newsletter reminded residents to report any crimes to the police and then call “George Zimmerman, our captain.”
· On February 2, 2012, Zimmerman spotted a young black man looking into the windows of a neighbor’s empty house. He called the police and said “I don‘t know what he’s doing. I don’t want to approach him, personally.” The police sent a car, but by the time they arrived, the man was gone.
· On February 6th, another house was burglarized. Witnesses said two of the robbers were black teenagers. One, who had prior burglary convictions, was soon caught with a laptop stolen from the house.
· Two weeks later, Zimmerman spotted Travyon Martin and called the police. The last time he had done this, the suspect got away. This time, he disregarded police instructions and followed. A few minutes later, Martin was dead.
My question for you is this. Is this a profile of a violent racist? We do not know. It is possible that he is a racist, but it is also possible that he is not. These facts will have to be determined in a court of law.
I believe that many will be shocked to learn some of the details that are quickly surfacing in this case. I only hope that everyone will stop convicting this man in the court of public opinion.
