In Video Liar Zimmerman Dramatizes his Alleged 'Beat Down' by 150 lb Black Teen
/A collection of audiotapes, a videotape and a signed statement by Mr. Zimmerman were released on Thursday by his legal team, allowing the public to hear for the first time Mr. Zimmerman’s words to the police over the course of several days of official interviews. [MORE] In photo, racist graffiti found on the side of Black Studies building at Ohio State University. The photo was used as a fund raising tool by Zimmerman on his website. [MORE] From [DailyKos] In the video Zimmerman claims that Martin approached him asking "Do you have a problem, man?" and he innocently answers "No, I don't have a problem." At which point, reportedly, Martin responded "You have a problem now", and punched him as he was reaching for his cell phone.
Besides that sounding corny as hell, it doesn't match up to what Trayvon's girlfriend heard on the other end of their ongoing phone call. She heard Martin say "Why are you following me, man?" and Zimmerman respond, "What are you doing around here?".
The difference here are striking and very telling. Zimmerman is crafting his story to make himself appear as innocent and non-aggressive as possible when from what can be heard on the 9-11 tapes he gets out of his car and runs after Trayvon even when the dispatcher says "Are you following him? We don't need you to do that."
Zimmerman claims the he was yelling "Help", yet other witnesses and the two seperate vocal analysis of other 9-11 calls indicate that it wasn't his voice screaming "Help" and "No, Don't!" just before the fatal shot went off - it was Trayvon's.
These are the interviews and the re-enactments that Homicide Detective Chris Serino didn't believe and recommended that Zimmerman be arrested on the spot, only to be overruled by the State Attorney's Office which is what has led to this continuing controversy in the first place.
Let's add onto this Zimmerman's history of violent confrontations where he assaulted his ex-fiance, and then claimed that she was the true aggressor. Where he was fired from his job as a security guard because he "Snapped" and tossed a woman up against a wall violently.
Where he bullied a co-worker with racists taunts so relentless the man was growing emotionally distraught and was racked with thoughts of retaliation until Zimmerman himself was let go.
Let's not forget that he also assault an undercover police officer, then lied that the officer didn't identify himself when putting a friend of Zimmerman's under arrest. The officer reported that Zimmerman's response to his telling him "Back off, I'm a police officer" was "I don't care who you are". After that case he was required to attend anger management classes.
And lastly, Zimmerman and his entire family lied to the court during his bond hearing claiming he was essentially destitute when in fact he had over $100,000 sitting in his Paypal account which had been generated by his website. A site that triumphantly featured a photograph of graffiti that said "Long Live Zimmerman".

As stated Deborah Roker on WashPost "Why would anyone in his right mind who is relatively safe in a vehichle and already on the phone with 911 leave the safety of said vehicle in pursuit of a person who was acting as strangely as Zimmerman claims Martin was. Among other things, Zimmerman says Martin was circling the vehicle with his hand in his waistband. That action sounds threatening to me and I would want to put distance between me and him, especially since I am in a vehicle, on the phone with 911 and able to drive away. No one asked Zimmerman to go looking for Martin.He told 911 where he was at the time. The police are very good at setting up perimeters and searching for suspects. They even use helicopters with big bright lights. Also, he tells a different story in his re-enactment than he does in his satement and his call to 911. At one point Zimmerman claims he was jumped on the way back to his truck, now he claims he had a face to face verbal confrontation with Martin at the time and place of the altercation. He even says he (Zimmerman) was looking for his phone while Martin was standing in front of him. His story makes no sense." [MORE]

Racist Photo
[DailyKos] The photo above was of the side of a Black Studies Buidling on Ohio State University and in my opinion was an act of intimidation and Racial Terrorism meant to strike fear into the students who would most likely fit the same profile as Martin.
And George thought that putting this on his site would attract exactly what kind of supporters? [MORE]
Perhaps the kind that posted things like this on the Fox News Website?

No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 45 years a large segment of bIack America has waged a war of v i o l e n t retribution against white America.

Yet the “justice department” refuses to prosecute any voter intimidation that involves a blac k as the intimidator.
So when this guy talks, you should listen closely between the lies, they tend to come fast and furiously.
