George Zimmerman

Many people are upset about the Trayvon Martin case, and understandably so. For a young black boy to be innocently walking in a neighborhood from a convenient store to a family friend’s house, and to be killed holding only an ice tea and skittles is very unnerving.

George Zimmerman, a community watch captain, honed into Martin and felt he was up to no good, though I have not heard any evidence to support why this was.

Zimmerman called 911 and the police specifically told him not to follow Martin, which is did anyway.   He seemed to provoke the confrontation.

Zimmerman’s attorney has spoken out several times saying that his client acted in self-defense, and that he suffered injuries, yet ironically, in the video above, we can’t see anything.  While the video is grainy, you would think lacerations to the back of his head would be visible.

The whole situation is deeply disturbing and I feel for Trayvon Martin’s family.

If George Zimmerman did act in self-defense and did sustain injuries, you would think he would benefit from showing his face in the media, or at least pictures of his injuries, because if he was injured people might be more willing to give him more credit, but the fact he doesn’t do this is a huge red flag.
