After weeks of silence and seclusion, George Zimmerman has released a public statement about the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, referring to incident as a "life altering event," on his website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com.
In a statement on the site, which Zimmerman's attorneys have confirmed to ABC News belongs to him, the 28-year-old wrote, "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."

Whoops, you mean his photo is outdated by a few YEARS?He transformed into the "No Limit N*****", a bad ass who bragged about doing some disgusting things to his women and a beat down on an unsuspecting bus driver via his Twitter account. He was the boy that every Dad would want their sweet little girls to bring home for dinner.

He needs to try a place like MT. Not many “Holder’s people” up there and lots of them have guns, too, legally. And it’s far away from where any of the riotous mobs might be - nice buffer zone.

oops. Perhaps not. March 30, 2012 was the date of the article the picture came from.

From Zimmermans Website: The intriguing "My Race" page includes a single quote from Thomas Paine: "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
[The "Long Live Zimmerman" graffiti on Zimmerman's site appears to be from a vandalized black cultural center at Ohio State University.]

Trayvon was looking for a place to BURGLARIZE. Georges initial instincts were correct. I believe a screwdriver was found on him, a favorite jimmying tool. Of course he didn't deserve to die for that But if he tried to kill Zimmerman and was shot in self defense, that was the reason he died.

“The first thing he needs to do is lose that stupid earring. Dont people realize how stupid that makes them look?”
Do you realise how stupid your comment makes YOU look?
The true test of course, is you post your picture here, and we all compare you with Z, and decide who looks more “stupid”.
Dare ya, bo.
“Stupid is as stupid does.”

Thanks for the Ping. Methinks this bs is
set to unravel, and shortly.
Same might be said of some other bs as well.
