It Was Self Defense.

CBS News) The attorney hired to represent a neighborhood watch volunteer accused of fatally shooting a black teenager said there was no racial issue involved in the February 28 incident that left Trayvon Martin dead.
Appearing on "CBS This Morning: Saturday," attorney Craig Sonner said that he is currently representing George Zimmerman in an advisory position, as no formal charges have been brought in the case.
"There are facts that will come out as the investigation goes on," Sonner told Rebecca Jarvis. "Basically, Mr. Zimmerman claims he was attacked by Trayvon Martin and he was defending himself. That's the gist of the case at this moment."
When asked if there was any racial motivation to the confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin, Sonner replied, "I don't believe there's any racial motivation on the behalf of George Zimmerman. I have spoken with him on that issue. That's the issue that we wanted to address today, is that this was not a racial issue in what happened that day.
"I believe that there is sufficient evidence to show that Mr. Zimmerman was acting in self-defense. He has wounds, injuries to his face, to the back of his head. And I think the evidence will show that he was acting in self-defense, and that it was not racially motivated."
Sonner also said that Zimmerman and his wife in the past have served as mentors to African-American youth. "He and his wife were mentors to a single mother with two, a 14-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. They were mentors to them, took them every couple weeks. What that program included was every other week, going for two or three hours going to the mall, to the science center, going to lunch, playing basketball, doing those types of things."
When asked by Jarvis if there was anything he wished to say to the parents of Trayvon Martin, Sonner said, "Well, the end result of this entire situation is a tragic thing, and my condolences for the loss of a child. I mean, there's nothing worse than the loss of a child, and my condolences to them."

Whenever someone denies being a racist, you can normally assume they are racist.

Who isn't a racist in the left's eyes?

Hmmmm. I dunno.....looks like Zimmerman is Hispanic????

Zimmerman weighs 250 pounds. Martin weighed 140 pounds.

Zimmerman had a gun. Martin had a bag of Skittles.

I can still be surprised. Who knew?

Jeb Bush says, "Stand your ground means stand your ground. It doesn't mean chase after somebody who's turned their back."

Zimmerman made the 911 call from his home. Then he left his home, started following Martin who was on the phone with his girlfriend at the time, started shoving and beating him and then shot him to death. If he had stayed in his home, he wouldn't have to claim self-defense at all!

Zimmerman might as well go hook up with Casey Anthony. Nobody is going to forget this.

Of course, if THAT is the case above, self defense is certainly no defense. I agree with Jeb. We'll have to wait till we see all the evidence though.

And the police dispatcher on the 911 call? They told him NOT to approach the "suspicious person" he was calling in about. Had he listened, none of this would be happening now.

Casey, Casey, where art thou, Casey? A fellow Floridan asshat is in need of you, your lawyers and your hiding place...

You're exactly right.

We have a lot of hispanics where I live. I used to live next door to a hispanic family and they talked horribly about black people. There certainly is a problem between the two races. Plus, it's a racism hardly talked about since focus is always upon "white racism".

I did notice that those screaming racism kind of did a double take when they found out Zimmerman was hispanic. They had to shift gears away from their engrained and knee jerk reactions about the evil white man but it seems they've managed to overcome that fact and forge on with their racial protests.

only you and your gang belive that kind of crap, most have a much clearer picture of RL

LOL!

Ok then. Well, where is your outrage expressed in this thread over the racism charges that you apparently agree with.

You've managed to arouse enough muster to go after "me and my gang" but little input towards the alleged racism of Zimmerman towards blacks. Where's the anti-racism diatribes? Where's all the indignation with this issue? Oh my.

Is Zimmerman a racist? Because that's what is being reported and protested against.

Ya just can't beat a good ol' hate the racist white man thread. It's stretch though when the perp is hispanic isn't it?

Hell, the perp is half white so that should make the job a lot easier.

Was the Chief of Police white? The one that resigned temporarily? I bet he's a racist. He's white.

When did Hispanic become a race?

I was and still am under the impression that there are only
three races, they being
Caucasian, Negroid, and Oriental.
AKA; White, Black, and Yellow

There may be sub races but all of these belong to the
three main races.

And just as a point of interest the Yellow Race is the first with
the Black Race being second and the White race being last in size.
I wonder just who is the minority when viewed on the big picture.
And more importantly what the hell difference does it make anyway!
Other than in small minds.

"Oriental" is out, Snaf. lol. It's currently Asian.

I've been close with people from all three races. In their homes they occasional might sound like bigots and racists. All of it is light hearted stuff. They don't talk that way in front of people who might get offended...it's mostly jokes based on stereotypes. (Altho' there have been the occasional bigoted comment by the elders of the families.) They don't hate the white man...they are educated, thoughtful people who are understanding of most things, tolerate, and patient.

The shooter is Caucasian and used a racial slur to refer to the victim on the 911 call. He also had a history of calling the police about black people in the area, even children.

Watch as the left tries to make this "latino" as white as rice (despite the glaring evidence). It just ain't racist enough if a white man ain't doing the race hatin'.

Trayvon Martin Case: Does Race Play a Role, Though Zimmerman's Not White.


Recently, there’s been a lot of debate about race since it was discovered that the 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, is not white but Hispanic...or so his family claims. Last week, Robert Zimmerman released his response to the increasingly racial climate surrounding his son’s actions, in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel: “George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever.”

Watch as the rational "right" see this crime for what it is:

An armed and dangerous wanna be cop, kills an unarmed child.
