George Zimmerman: Prelude to a shooting (Reuters finds that GZ has black ancestors)
The New York Post / Reuters ^ | April 25, 2012
A pit bull named Big Boi began menacing George and Shellie Zimmerman in the fall of 2009.
The first time the dog ran free and cornered Shellie in their gated community in Sanford, Florida, George called the owner to complain. The second time, Big Boi frightened his mother-in-law’s dog.
Zimmerman called Seminole County Animal Services and bought pepper spray. The third time he saw the dog on the loose, he called again.
An officer came to the house, county records show.
“Don’t use pepper spray,” he told the Zimmermans, according to a friend. “It’ll take two or three seconds to take effect, but a quarter second for the dog to jump you,” he said.
“Get a gun.”
That November, the Zimmermans completed firearms training at a local lodge...

The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him....

A rare case of Reuters flubbing the mainstream media agenda.

And true of all neighborhoods across the nation - except no one in the media ever heard of such a thing apparently.
Strangers don’t wander neighborhoods without many eyes watching them. It’s normal.

Zimmerman cannot be Hispanic or Black, he must be WHITE to fit the dominant narrative.

Trayvon was planting daisies, singing hymns, and dancing ballet when Grand Wizard Zimmerman and THE ENTIRE KKK attacked.

George grew up bilingual, and by age 10 he was often called to the Haydon Elementary School principal's office to act as a translator between administrators and immigrant parents. At 14 he became obsessed with becoming a Marine, a relative said, joining the after-school ROTC program at Grace E. Metz Middle School and polishing his boots by night. At 15, he {Zimmerman} worked three part-time jobs - in a Mexican restaurant, for the rectory, and washing cars - on nights and weekends, to save up for a car. Compare this to Trayvon - kicked out school, attacked a bus driver, caught with burglary tools and women's jewelry... dressed like a 'gangster'... thin-skinned 'criminal wannabe' type...

IMO, THE money quote from this whole article. Other than Reuters (better late than never, I suppose) I don’t know of any other media outlet reporting this.

No, but I am old enough to remember when there were conservative alternatives to the MSM. US News & WR instead of Time Magazine, for example. A decent number of local papers that were conservative--San Diego Union, St. Louis Globe Democrat, OC Register, etc. A smattering of movies that supported the United States instead of tearing it down. Even liberal journalists had enough pride in what they did that they did not allow themselves to become propagandists.
There are no MSM conservatives anywhere. All conservatives have is talk radio and the internet. It is amazing that America survives in the face of this sustained onslaught. It is a testament to the resilience of the American culture, but it is being eroded away as surely as the Grand Canyon started as a crack in the prairie.

Zimmerman was a standup guy, solid citizen, and good neighbor.
Trayvon was a dirt-bag drug dealer in the making. His early demise is no great loss to society.
