TAMPA - The father of 28-year-old George Zimmerman spoke out Wednesday night. In an exclusive interview with FOX 35's Valerie Boey, Robert Zimmerman says he and his family have gotten thousands of death threats.

He asked that his face not be shown as he explained what happened the night his son shot and killed Trayvon Martin.

Robert Zimmerman says George Zimmerman was going to the store when he saw someone he did not recognize as living in the community.

"Because there have been a lot of break-ins in the area, he thought that was suspicious that someone would not be walking on the street or the sidewalk. That he'd be walking by the town homes," Zimmerman said.

Robert Zimmerman says he and his family have gotten thousands of death threats...and hasn't this country come far - so much more tolerance, respect, and understanding - after three years with our Post-Racial President (and just wait to see how we progress after he's denied reelection)......

Obama needs a hot race war going this summer to get his base out.

That'll get his base out, but it'll also bring in, en masse, the folks who want him defeated. Either way it's a losing situation for Obama.

When blacks get upset they march (and sometimes riot). When whites get upset they vote.

Democrats getting a taste of what they created. Reminds me of Bubba when Hillary got tossed aside by blacks voting race in the primaries.

Btw the ABC footage really puts Zimmerman’s story in doubt. No bloody nose. Minor cut on back of head. Not helping his cause.

I think he’ll eventually be indicted. Negligent homicide at least but most likely 2nd degree murder.

Then we’ll have the trial riots when it’s not guilty. Then a federal trial for the same crime.

It's going to be ugly for sure.

You’re wrong. Their report hurts their cause. It states that he had already received medical attention.

Do you suppose that the medics would have cleared him to ride in the patrol car to the police station had they been unable to stop any bleeding?

It’ll look good for the cameras...

Gimmie a break.

He said he doesn’t think she was on the phone when Martin was being followed by Zimmerman. He talked to his girlfriend a total of FOUR minutes that night but how long before the 911 call?

There is no question in my mind that the dimoKKKRATS and their allies are stoking the issue to get the Blacks all fired up for the upcoming election. They are trying to get a high voter turnout and playing the race card once again.

Too bad there are witnessed to Martin jumping on Zimmerman. Regardless of the severity of injury. If his lawyer claims he got a broken nose I’m sure there is medical docs to back it up, if not then he’s stupid for repeating it to the media.

Do you think Zimmerman just shot Martin in the chest for no reason, or because he wanted to kill a black kid? There was no struggle?

It’s was okay for Trayvon to make threats. He is black, and that is part of his gangsta’ culture. He was just sharing the rap, beating down the brown guy.

Martin’s attorney released phone records showing Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend minutes before he was killed.

There are two questions there. (1) Was Martin on the phone with his GF? and (2) Has she given a correct account of what she heard on the call?

The cell carrier can answer the first question definitively and also give us the exact times. As for the second, well, she'd have a powerful incentive to spin a tale, now wouldn't she?

His family had a close friend who mentored him when he was growing up with grandparents. That friend is supposed to have been a commie pinko who hated this country.
His mother hated this country and didn’t seem to care much for white men.
So this is the way he grew up, half white and with a chip on his shoulder. That chip is still there.
He nor his family were ever slaves. He cannot relate to our black communities from personal experience. Only playing the game to get ahead in politics...He is a fraud all way around. ABO!

If this case were to go to trial,Robert Zimmerman’s testimony about Trayvon threatening George will go a long way in making the case for self defense.

You may be right about the Grand Jury. However the state of Florida and the US Just-us dept are still out there to cook up something (anything) to send him away in order to appease the African mobs. Hell, it may take trying him 3,4 or 5 times to get the desired results, but..............

This would be hearsay, wouldn't it?

Thanks for this post! At least someone is giving the Zimmermans a voice in defense. Though it seems technically mostly hearsay and inadmissible in hearings?

Who should I believe? A judge and a Vietnam War vet?

Or should I believe the presstitutes and race pimps?

Questions and quandaries.

Or maybe not.

Radical-In-Chief by Stanly Kurtz gives, in my opinion, the single best background information describing the swamp this viper was hatched in: the Midwest Academy of Chicago. It's fully detailed in the 60 pages of chapter 5.

He was cleaned up by the EMT's at the scene.
