In a statement on the site, which Zimmerman's attorneys have confirmed to ABC News belongs to him, the 28-year-old wrote, "As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family, and ultimately my entire life."

The first thing he needs to do is lose that stupid earring. Don’t people realize how stupid that makes them look?

Jorge Zimmerman is merely the latest victim of the Democrat lynch mob.

Both ABC and NBC are afraid that George will sue their A$$. And he will win a big damage settlement for their lies.

Here is the statement:

I am the real George Zimmerman,
On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website’s sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.

It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my “Defense Fund” or “Legal Fund”. I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.

I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.

Sincerely,
George Zimmerman

No. Lots of people have never been exposed to the inbred subculture that obsesses over them

‘7-11 and Skittles’.. What a cute little boy. Whoops, you mean his photo is outdated by a few YEARS? Too bad he wasn’t at the store and neither were these items found at the scene (Maybe George ate the Skittles and drank the tea immediately following the shooting?). Sounds like a conspiracy to make America feel sorry for poor lil’ol 0bama, when in actuality Trayvon was looking for a place to BURGLARIZE. George’s initial instincts were correct.

If you do a web search for “skittles drugs,” you will find that it’s slang for several different kinds of drugs.

Or, there’s this entry from the Urban Dictionary:


skittles party

a party where a bunch of teenagers or young adults get together with a lot of random pills.usually taken from parents medicine cabinets.

they put them all into a pile and every one takes a few.

you dont know exactly what you take.

hey! since there is nothing to do tonight..lets all raid our medicine cabinets and have a skittles party!!
we will get messed up!

Man, I hope he’s in a secure undisclosed location of Cheney-esque proportions, cuz there’s enough crazy people to just kill him on sight.

keep the earring!!!

Remember? This “white” hispanic is never described as a democrat.

He’s an earring-wearing democrat white hispanic.

I’m not interested in supporting GZ, though I will support him as innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Then he can sue or write a book.
