George Zimmerman’s Brother: ‘Black Teens’ Are Killers
By Aviva Shen on Mar 25, 2013 at 9:04 am

Since he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year, George Zimmerman has been trying to convince the public that he was not acting simply out of racist aggression but because Martin attacked him. Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr, is not helping his cause. On Saturday, Zimmerman went on a Twitter tirade against “black teens,” equating the boy killed by his brother with De’Marquise Elkins, the 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a Georgia infant.

As highlighted by Mediaite, Zimmerman tweeted a photo comparison between Elkins and Martin flipping their middle fingers with the caption, “A picture speaks a thousand words…Any questions?”



Zimmerman tweeted the photo at Michael Moore, the NAACP, the NRA, and a Breitbart.com editor. He followed it up with another comparison between the two, tweeting

“Teen to West:

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

In case the reason for his comparison of the two young black men was unclear, Zimmerman later tweeted:

Robert Zimmerman Jr @rzimmermanjr

1. Sick bastard. I guess it runs in the family.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Wow. Just wow.

Must have been fun living in that household, wouldn't it?

[hobbit709]

3. Seems to run in the family.

The things I want to say would get hidden at best.

[jessie04]

4. What a jerk.

Must e genetic or something.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. "blacks mightB risky..."

But he's not a racist.

[treestar]

6. Giving the finger equates to murder all right

What a dumbass. I think the family they were raised in was probably racist.

[riqster]

11. Flipping the bird = murder?

If so, most people of my generation would be serial killers. Whatta maroon.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Might be right. I believe this man killed a man in Reno, just to watch him die:

[riqster]

18. Well, who can argue with proof like that?

[Cirque du So-What]

7. Good thing his brother is so 'helpful,' eh?

Irony is lost on the stupid.

[baldguy]

8. And too many here on DU support such thinking.

With impunity.

[Arkana]

9. Well, Zimmerman's family is racist...the rotten apple probably didn't fall far from the dead tree.

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Yeah a picture speaks a thousand words.

Speaking of killers
?w=300&h=229

[sadbear]

12. Lots of stupid apples on that Zimmerman tree.

[HappyMe]

13. Good grief!

The whole family seems to be chock full of racist asshats.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Sounds like my cousin.

[mercuryblues]

15. If that is

the gold standard by which he advocates corporal punishment, Zimmerman should have shot me by the time I was 9.

[michello]

16. Well,

One kid is throwing up gang signs and the other one is flipping the bird...The two people that are most alike are George and the "allegeded" baby killer because they both killed two innocent children with a handgun. Trayvon and the baby have something in common in that they are no longer here on earth...But by all means please Proceed with your racist diatribe Mr. George Zimmerman's brother, as this contradicts your asshole brothers testimony that he did not profile Trayvon Martin because he was a young black kid with a hoodie on.

[alphafemale]

19. all kids flash the finger and gang signs on FB...All the time.

So our assumptions were correct and your racist pig brother saw a black teen and hunted him down and murdered him? Poor child tried to defend himself. So your coward ass brother shot him.

Some of us are trying to build a better world Trayvon....I swear.
