I would prefer a trial and live in prison if convicted.

The Real George Zimmerman
I am the real George Zimmerman,
On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.
It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my Defense Fund or "Legal Fund". I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.
I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
George Zimmerman

I am grateful to my friends that have come to my aid, whether publicly or personally, never questioning my integrity or actions, understanding that I cannot discuss the details of the event on February 26th, and allowing law enforcement to proceed with their investigation unhindered. Once again, I thank you for your patience and I assure you, the facts will come to light.

(30,885 posts)...when they took the screen shot, the site had an American Flag background.

(30,885 posts)At $1 each, that's about an hour's pay for one of his attorneys.

(24,128 posts)graphics, just text. I want to look for the counter! If CNN is broadcasting the fact that this website exists, then why only 330 hits?
Amerigo Vespucci
(30,885 posts)That's my guess.
janx
(24,128 posts)It's at 89 right now!

(24,128 posts)But where's the counter? Is it on the home page?

(134 posts)The flag image file is huge. 1.2 MB! This is why the site is having problems. He's using a whole lot of bandwidth.

(30,885 posts)I think I read that somewhere once.
In all seriousness, whoever threw that GoDaddy piece of crap template together for him probably found a "site wizard" that lets you upload your own background image, and they chose an uncompressed bitmap or something.

(100,103 posts)He murdered an innocent teenager, lied his ass off about it and we're supposed to be sympathetic? Go cry me a river Zimmerman - the only sympathy you'll get would be from hardcore white supremacists and racists.

Just exactly what sort of people is he appealing to?
Just can't make this stuff up. Wow.

(30,885 posts)Not only the claims that they've made $100 and $50 donations, but this kind of thing as well:
It really looks like George Zimmerman was totally justified in his shooting of Treyvon Martin. After reading everything I can find about the event I would have to say that I would also have shot my attacker. George Zimmerman is Innocent.

It seems that there are a couple of groups that are paying attention. Gun Owners of America and a group out of Tampa is raising funds for him. I dont believe GOA has gotten that deeply involved but did have a spokesperson defending Zimmerman.
This case is not about Zimmerman; its encompassing alot of issues that the left has wanted to reignite: gun control, civil rights, but its the 2nd Amendment that everyone on the left will be (is) reactivating. This was just the little incident to help that along. Schmucky is right out there in front.
Funny, the party of death really detests when someone loses their life from their own actions. Youd think theyd celebrate the loss of life. Im surprise they dont throw parties at the end of each day when the aborted fetuses are thrown in the dumpster or some old person is duped into ending it all.
What a culture...

Yeah, right. It's not about Zimmerman. Not at all.

(42,290 posts)Oh yeah. It's bile I spit up right after I read this crap.
Oh, and BTW. BOTH of Zimmerman's lawyers have claimed they're defending Zimmerman pro bono.
Yeah, too bad about being the 'social pariah' thing. That must suck.

(30,885 posts)So if the purpose of the site is to raise his "legal fees" and "living expenses," I guess that means all of the money goes to...his "living expenses."

(30,885 posts)There was a lot of "hopeful talk" today on MSNBC about the Special Prosecutor charging his ass. Rev. Al had a couple of guests discussing it...one said some kind of decision was possible by the end of the week. The other said something was possible by the end of the MONTH.

(24,128 posts)Did his lawyers make some phone calls? Very strange.

(8,694 posts)"I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life."
Trayvon Martin was taken from his home, his school, his employer, and his family. The sheer idiocy and insensitivity of Zimmerman makes me hate him more, when I thought I could'nt.
