I'm against capital punishment, but Karma just might make that part of his statement come true.

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

"People have a right to their own opinions, but not to their own facts. Evidence must be located, not created, and opinions not backed by evidence cannot be given much weight" - James W. Loewen

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.

At $1 each, that's about an hour's pay for one of his attorneys.

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.

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.

From LGF:

One of the reasons I’m skeptical is that the page titled “Album” at this site contains a photo of The Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center at Ohio State University, after it was defaced with graffiti saying “Long Live Zimmerman.”

Not only the claims that they've made $100 and $50 donations, but this kind of thing as well:

To: E. Pluribus Unum

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.

To: Deagle

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 don’t believe GOA has gotten that deeply involved but did have a spokesperson defending Zimmerman.

This case is not about Zimmerman; it’s encompassing alot of issues that the left has wanted to reignite: gun control, civil rights, but it’s 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. You’d think they’d celebrate the loss of life. I’m surprise they don’t 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.

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.

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."

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.

No, when you lose "your entire life" is what you did to that innocent kid.

"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.
