“The FBI found no racial bias behind George Zimmerman’s shooting of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin, according to dozens of documents related to the case released Thursday.” Wait, what? A white Hispanic shoots and kills an unarmed black male and race wasn’t the underlying cause? Imagine the frenzy in the NBC News editing booth as they wrestle with how to slice and dice that cognitively dissonant piece of info. But FBI investigators, after talking to just about everyone Zimmerman has known since birth, haven’t been able to come up with so much as an errant N-word, let alone a burning cross . . .
Instead, it seems the self-appointed neighborhood watchman may have just been a tad too gung-ho for his own good. As reported by nbcmiami.com,
“(FBI lead investigator Chris) SERINO believed that ZIMMERMAN’s actions were not based on MARTIN’s skin color rather based on his attire, the total circumstances of the encounter and the previous burglary suspects in the community,” the FBI wrote in the report. “Serino described ZIMMERMAN as overzealous and as having a ‘little hero complex’, but not as a racist.”
That seems to jibe with what one of Zimmerman’s friends, a Seminole County deputy, told the feds, too.
“[Redacted] described Zimmerman as a person of strong character but not very street wise. Redacted has never known Zimmerman to be in a fist fight,” the report said. “[Redacted] has never known Zimmerman to associate with anyone known to have any bias/prejudice against any individual or group based on race, religion, etc…”The friend also said “Zimmerman never actively patrolled the neighborhood, but would just be very observant to what was going on while walking his dog around the neighborhood,” according to the report.
Even an ex against whom he has an injunction told them he apparently never attended any actual Klan meetings.
Zimmerman’s former fiancee, who was interviewed by the FBI, described their volatile relationship which began in 2001, according to the report. The woman, whose name was redacted, told the FBI that the couple began to argue a lot after their engagement and described a couple times where he became physically aggressive.The engagement ended, and both Zimmerman and the woman later filed injunctions against each other, the report said. Despite her allegations, the woman told the FBI that Zimmerman had never exhibited any biases or prejudices against anyone and never used racial epithets of any kind. She added that he “was not the type of person to place himself in a physical confrontation” and he was the last person she would expect to be involved in a shooting.
But while the FBI hasn’t found racial bias as part of the Justice Department’s search for potential civil right violations, that investigation is still open. The inconvenience of the FBI’s findings certainly won’t help the racially-motivated execution narrative being pushed by Martin’s parents or opportunistic fly-in community organizers like Al Sharpton. Not that a few, you know, facts are likely to slow them down much. Share
Reality check: “Obama disowns son”
But the 911 operator did not have a control freak problem?
This is what it is all about folkes. Getting incompetent 911 operators now armed with UAVs and telling you the rules of engagement etc... Screw that.
Serino is not FBI, he's a Sanford P.D. investigator.
Get Reverand Al on the line. The does not fit his template.
FBI Finds No Racial Bias in Trayvon Martin Shooting
Fine - now tell it to the Black mob ravening after his blood.
When are they going to investigate the racism directed AT George Zimmerman?
Oh, wait, he is White Hispanic...never mind
There was ABSOULTELY racial bias involved. trayvon attacked Zimmerman because he was a white looking hispanic who trayvon thought had dissed him by watching him as he passed thru a neighborhood plagued by burglaries.
Yes, there was racial bias, by trayvon.
Looks like the Leftist witch hunt has yielded no satisfying results.
The slander from the klan with the tan served it’s purpose. They got black racist aggression kicked in across the Nation and George charged with second degree murder for defending himself.
They are looking for racism in all the wrong places. Start with Trayvon, and be prepared to find a hate mongering racist who would have killed George for the fun of it.
My local paper - and hundreds of other liberal newspapers will downplay this story - or 'miss it' completely ..
<>When are they going to investigate the racism directed AT G. Zimmerman?<>
Yep — They FBI need to come back into town and interview DeeDee who said that Trayvon saw the “white” guy in the vehicle, then ran but realized that aspiring gangstas don’t run — they fight. So as a good gangsta he went back and assaulted the white guy.
And don’t forget Sergeant Barns who pressured Serino to arrest Zimmerman because it would quell the black mob that was gathering to lynch the white guy who killed the gangsta wannabe who was dressed like a member of a local gang.
And the Black Panthers who were gathering at the gate of the complex intimidating the residents and witnesses because a white guy had just killed a gangster wannabe.
And let’s not forget former CRIP gang member Trayvon Martin’s father Tracy with the CAT [Crippin All the Time] tattoo. The acorn wasn’t falling far from the tree:
since florida (wisely) moved this case to AFTER the election, it has been dropped in the media
funny how that works
Yep -- they got their foot in the door with race charge and now you can't get them out.
If a person read all of the reports, and used their brain, then we knew this without an FBI finding.
Good thing for George apparently no on wanted to screw him over. It would only take one person who didn’t like him to tell the FBI he once told a black joke and he would be charged with a ‘hate’ crime. Our modern Inquisitors would burn him at the stake for being a heretic against Black Worship. Better bow to your gods, whitey! And that means if your gods are beating and killing you, don’t even think about defending yourself, you’re just another blood sacrifice.
BOTH cops who pressured Serino were black - something the MSM failed to mention...

The killing wasn't racial, but the coverage, cover-up, and intimidation HAS been racial. Eff you NBC and all your little racist lying reporters.
Yep -- the investigation, the arrest, and ....
Both cops were black and officer Villelone, though Hispanic, was married to a black man.
