Zimmeran's brother gives his side of the story

[Guest profgunner]

"You return force with force when somebody assaults you. George was out of breath, he was barely conscious," the brother said. "There would have been George dead if he had not acted decisively and instantaneously in that moment when he was being disarmed." - George Zimmerman's brother

The media, no surprise, has turned this thing into a circus. One of the things I find most disgusting is the repeated use of the term "white hispanic" to describe Zimmeran. I guess describing him simply as "hispanic" doesn't quite fit the narrative they want to portray. White on black - yep, that's what keeps the story churning.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the term "White-Hispanic" was created for this story. I can't say that I'd ever heard that term before this story broke.

Yep, I agree fully. Does this mean that Barack Obama is a "White Negro"?

Of course not; that would not provoke the masses.

Obama distances himself as much as possible from the white gene pool churning inside him. It is not politically expedient for him to be white at all.

So if he is black, Zimmerman is hispanic albeit with a German last name. It plays better that way. If his name was Gonzales there would be little uproar over his part in this.

You all are messed up in the head, but it keeps a smile on my face. Laughter is good for the soul.

[Mike.357]

What is messed up with what i posted?

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Self appointed narcissistic and delusional internet spokesman LINKS2K has become,why,

I don't know.

Nothing wrong with anyone's post, Mike, except a mental midget's.

[Mike.357]

6.8 thats what I was thinking. I have reread the posts and see very little to laugh about.

Gideon's picture is obviously photoshopped, Martin was quite angelic yanno.

No. Obama is a White Negro-ARAB!

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Yep! I can see how arguments or discussions can turn into fist fights with some "feeling" their views are

being discriminated against, and it not even being the case, they stoop to lowering the argument to

another level. It almost sounds like what could have happened in some infamous case we are talking

about, couldn't it?

[mikegideon]

I just wanna eat my Skittles in peace

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I'm gonna grab a real good cheeseburger. No Skittles for me.

[mikegideon]

Good idea. Cheese is just like moly coating for those stints. It will keep stuff from sticking to them

[Guest 6.8 AR]

It was a good cheeseburger, too. I've been forced into the french fry reduction, though.

Zimmerman is hispanic albeit with a German last name.

I looked it up, Zimmerman is a JEWISH/GERMAN surname. So now the media can refer to him as a WHITE JEW hispanic. There's one thing Jessie and the Panthers hate more than whitey, that's Jews. Edited March 31, 2012 by K191145

Zimmerman is a short fat man. Martin is a young athlete. Martin could have run circles around Zimmerman. The only way they could have gotten in to a fight is if Martin choose to, otherwise Martin could have simply ran away. "Speed is life" if you are faster than your opponent then you get to choose when and where to fight. If you find yourself at a disadvantage you can use your speed to break contact.

This is like a Road Rage incident only on the street. These type of encounters can make two perfectly decent strangers mad enough to kill each other. It is insane and it takes a mature person to resist and break contact.

So if you are accosted on the street by a short fat man with a gun, you have a duty to retreat?

They couldn’t have got into a fight because Zimmerman grabbed him, punched him, or was using racially charged slurs?

I still don't see how we would accept a second hand account of the shooter's perspective as fact, but disregard the young girl who was on the phone with Martin at the time as lying for her boyfriend.

I forgot to ask about that. Someone at work told me that a phone records check showed she was not on the phone with him at the time. But I can’t find that information in any of the stories. That’s a pretty easy fact to verify.Was she or wasn’t she?
