'Long Live Zimmerman' Spray-Painted On Black Cultural Center Building
WBNS-TV ^ | April 5, 2012

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The executive director of the Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center called for the arrest of the person responsible for graffiti that might have been racially-charged after it was found on a campus building Thursday morning.

The words "Long Live Zimmerman" were found spray-painted on the walls of The Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center, located at 153 W. 12th Ave., on the Ohio State campus, at about 8 a.m., 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.

Some said that the graffiti indicated support for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in February.

The vandalism was found one night after a student rally took place in memory of Martin, Landers reported.

"Ignorance is bliss," said Larry Williamson, the executive director of the Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center. "We want the person brought to trial, caught. We want to make sure these kinds of things don't happen."

Police said that no witnesses to the crime were identified. The graffiti was power-washed from the wall later in the morning.

I'd bet a nice steak dinner that one of Trayvon's supporters did this.

First thought to come into my mind when I read the headline.

They’re becoming pretty obvious. This stuff used to work but not so much any more.

Victimology and Obama money is all they have left. Can you imagine the day the majority say “...sorry, the cash drawer has run dry and we don’t really care about your misfortunes anymore... we gave you 150 years to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and you didn’t do it”

Interesting. Was anything spray painted on the White Cultural Center? /sarcasm

I agree with you on the likelyhood that it was a setup from the anti-Zimmerman camp, btw.

The “white cultural center” would be burned down to the ground faster than Sarah Palin’s church, if it existed.

I thought this was considered “tagging” and as such was protected, artistic, free speech.

Once again, it seems to depend on the content.

If it advances the leftist cause, it’s laudable artistry, and if it does not, it’s vandalism and grafitti.

It had to be the Reverend Jackson. Before Trayvon’s death he was a nobody.
