As cries for his arrest continue to grow louder, George Zimmerman's father defended him in a one-page letter, saying he isn't a racist but rather of victim of sensationalized media coverage.
The neighborhood watch volunteer, 28, has been in hiding since he shot and killed unarmed Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old on his way back home to his father's house.
His father, Robert Zimmerman, 64, said in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel that his son was Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family.
“He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever,” the letter says, according to the newspaper. “The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth.”
He defended his son's actions on the day that he got out of his car and shot the teen, despite being strongly discouraged by a 911 dispatcher.

Unfortunatley Zimmerman lives in a country full of race zombies and protected classes of people, of which he is no longer one apparently.
“At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event became public, and I hope that will be soon,” the letter said, “everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media.”
Bttt
If you are a WASP you are on your own in the USA. WASPs were instrumental in setting the ground work of the USA. Now we are the targets of discrimination. No one stands up to defend or protect a WASP.
If you are gay, black, Jewish, Hispanic, or any other so called minority who are considered the perpetual victims of hate crimes, and you will find others of your ilk as well as a sympathetic media and Justice Dept that will make a mountain out of a molehill for you.
When will America’s first post racial president , who-doesn’t-look like-any-of-the-presidents-on-our-money, have his doesn’t look like Dale Jr, Head of DOJ arrest the shooter?
What’s Holder covering up?
Was it a Fast and Furious gun? Is the guy an illegal?
Even in this article which is not as bad as most, the media still provides facts which they can not possibly know.
He may have been returning to that house or he may have been up to no good. In the 911 call Zimmerman says the guy was acting very suspiciously. We can’t know that for sure but it fits in with what Zimmerman was doing better than if the kid was just returning to a house.
Zimmerman needs Lin Wood.
The media is once again, SHAPING what really happened here for MAXIMUM EFFECT, playing into 0bama's 'DIVISION' GAME. When two blacks douse a white kid with gasoline then set him on fire and say to him that he deserves it because he's white, the media goes silent.
Problem is that Zimmerman is technically NOT white. His mother is Hispanic, and his father is Jewish. I take your meaning, but this story is completely sensationalized to the point of being suspicious. It’s almost like the media is actively looking for crises that could be used to spin a race war into existence.
THE MEDIA IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO FOMENT RACIAL TENSION!
Where did he live before?
The Obama admin loves to take over State issues and yet is not arresting the guy. Is the guy here legally?
In this case Zimmerman was not a WASP, he was Jewish and Hispanic.
It does go to show that Blacks are king of the hill when it comes to victim-hood. Hispanics probably come next but this guy was probably of the old Cuban families who came to America after Castro took over and they get no more respect than WASPs.
I think he made two major mistakes. One, he did not listen to the 911 police and two, he called the guy a _______ coon. That probably was not a good idea and is the real reason why people are very upset. What time should he do behind bars is no more that manslaughter. I would say that he probably should have had a real job as a cop if he wanted to become one instead of playing one.
This article, like most is filled with errors.
He best flee the country for safe haven, then. This has become a country where he would not get a fair trial, particularly if a jury is made up primarily of the revengeful, chip-on-the-shoulder entitled class—you know, the logic-incapable-type who let off OJ Simson from nearly severing Nicole’s head and offing Ron Goldman.They will try him until they convict and put him away for years. There may well be riots brewing, and “payback”. The lib news media is already in overdrive White Guilt mode and have him guilty. We can see the no-prisoners approach of Holder’s DOJ, Al Sharpton, Obama now...he best clear out of there to a non-extradition country where Napolitano cannot reach him, ASAP I would
imagine.
Zimmerman Senior is absolutely right, but that’s life in Paradise now. The race hustlers caught on the opportunity of the lifetime, as much as the gun nuts on Free Republic (if the shooter’s fans are not gun owners, then please tell me where the divide lies.)
It’s a good Agatha Christie mystery, as far as I’m concerned, but the added benefit is that it reveals much more about ourselves than about the Zimmermans and Martin, since so little is known and there are no eyewitnesses to the altercation, and only Poor George’s self-interested testimony and the recordings of the 911 calls, and the after the fact police report, so don’t bullshit me with your theories as to what transpired. You don’t know, neither do I, and we’ll never know for certain.
What if the race of each person involved were reversed?
Al and his race hustlers would have demonized the dead white kid for attacking an innocent black guy just out protecting his neighborhood.
It’s all about the color of the skin no matter the circumstances according to Non-Rev Sharpton and his race hustlers.
I think Jessie Jaxthun is going after Zimmerman because his last name is Jewish and his family is originally from ‘Hymietown’ , as Jesse likes to call NYC. Maybe the race baiters’ new funding source is CAIR.
If I were in George Zimmerman’s shoes I’d change my name to something totally out of character, say, Irish way, like ‘Dylan’.
It is playing into the obama reelection narrative resting partly upon the White Guilt factor which was and is part of the winning formula and must be reeactivated over the next few months. And yes, race wars might also be a sub agenda here by the drive bys. But that COULD backfire.
