George Zimmerman’s Brother Pimping Comparison Of Trayvon Martin And Alleged Georgia Baby-Killer



Robert Zimmerman, Jr., brother of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, continued his everything-including-the-racist-kitchen-sink PR offensive on behalf of his brother by repeatedly tweeting a photo comparison of the teenager his brother shot, and De’Marquise Elkins, the 17 year-old who has been detained in the murder of a Georgia infant. Both pictures feature the young men flipping the middle finger at the camera, with the caption “A picture speaks a thousand words…Any questions?”

Zimmerman has, thus far, tweeted the comparison to the Anthony half of Opie and Anthony, Michael Moore, the NAACP, and a Breitbart News editor, as well as the NRA. If Zimmerman’s point is that anyone who uses that gesture is a murderer, then they’re going to have to arrest the entire Garden State Parkway. If you suspect that wasn’t his point, you might be right.

Earlier in the day, in case anyone did miss the point, Zimmerman tweeted several other revealing comparisons between his brother’s case and the slaying of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, including one that might be particularly unhelpful. In one, Zimmerman promotes his brother’s version of events:

Teen to West: “Do you want me to shoot your baby?” #TrayvonMartin to #GeorgeZimmerman : You’re gonna die tonight Motherf**ker”

Their parents must be proud of raising two scumbag men.

I've never done a call-out by name on this forum and won't now, but I really wish just one the DUers who kept bleating that line could show up in this thread...

I'm still seeing them online regularly in other threads, so I know they didn't leave...And they are longtime names, so they ain't getting bannaged, either...

The difference is Trayvon's murderer was allowed to walk and thankfully that poor little baby's murderer has been arrested and charged for his despicable crime. Furthermore, this outrage about flipping the bird is ridiculous. In their small minds it somehow it makes Trayvon seem more guilty and aggressive. I can't tell you how many kids (regardless of race, and class )have pictures of them flipping the bird. Hell, I've taken a couple myself. I bet many of the assholes making a big deal out of it have children that have taken pictures like that as well. Including their favorite President George W. Bush.

Oh, and for the love of god PLEASE let Zim's brother keep speaking publicly -- He's only adding years to the sentence...

A good jury could be picked. They may need to screen 500.
