TAMPA - The father of 28-year-old George Zimmerman spoke out Wednesday night. In an exclusive interview with FOX 35's Valerie Boey, Robert Zimmerman says he and his family have gotten thousands of death threats.

He asked that his face not be shown as he explained what happened the night his son shot and killed Trayvon Martin.

Robert Zimmerman says George Zimmerman was going to the store when he saw someone he did not recognize as living in the community.

"Because there have been a lot of break-ins in the area, he thought that was suspicious that someone would not be walking on the street or the sidewalk. That he'd be walking by the town homes," Zimmerman said.

Some reports include references that he was raised on the knee of a communist who was a family friend (who may have taken liberties with their young son).

The only ones that haven’t weighed in is the EMT’s that responded.

They keep records .

We had better not lose the house this election—the democrats are hard-up on this issue.

Yes, Frank Marshall Davis would be that person. I think the story of the Midwest Academy is crucially important because, not only was Obama thoroughly trained by its founders and members, but also the Academy is the center which gave rise to the stealth socialism strategy that we see culminating in this administration.

The police have his clothing and I am pretty sure they would have taken photographs for their files.

I have heard PUNKS from the day it was released. It doesn’t even need enhancement. There is no doubt it is PUNKS.

“Coons” is never even used and males under 30 use the insult “punks” regularly.

I think she told Trayvon’s dad something...enough for Trayvon’s dad to to check jail before reporting him missing.

In the original tape, to me he is saying F-ing "cones". Remember this was when he started running after Martin. Was there some kind of construction or road/pathway work being done where safety cones would be impeding him?

and hasn't this country come far - so much more tolerance, respect, and understanding - after three years with our Post-Racial President

The White House Occupier and his cronies have set race relations back by about 300 years.

“He was raised a red diaper doper baby. There is no reason to question it.

He said in college he sat with the Marxist professors talking about taking the system down.

He joined the Radical Wright’s ‘church’ for 20 years.

He’s a naked Marxist with a chip on his shoulder against this nation.”

Damn, just like Romney!

no

Hearsay would be if George Zimmerman’s dad testified his son told him that Martin threatened his life. It’s second hand information.

George Zimmerman testifying that he heard the threatening words directly from Martin is not hearsay.

There was no struggle?

Where did you hear that? I saw a report several days ago that the spent round was still chambered. The gun was a semi-automatic so the round should have been ejected. Failure to eject the round could be explained by hands gripping the gun so tightly that it could not operate properly, as in the case of a struggle for it. It seems possible that Martin and Zimmerman were struggling for the gun when it went off. Just saying.

all good questions and good points. supposedly the records show Martin made the last call to his girlfriend at 7:12 pm and police arrived at the scene at 7:17 pm to find Martin laying his face down on the ground. I haven’t found any photos\scans of the records. (whatever they are)

I thought it might also be “fxxxing phone” which might make sense since he was talking on a phone, and doesn’t need a time machine as the “coon” quote would require. Punks makes more sense than coons though.

Yes I think there was a struggle. I was asking what the poster thought happened, and why he thinks Zimmerman would shoot Martin because poster was questing GZ’s story about getting attacked because of the ABC surveillance video showing no obvious wounds.

You don’t think the EMTs might have cleaned him up?
