CNN: Donations pour in to Trayvon Martin's killer
CNN ^ | April 26, 2012

(CNN) -- The lawyer for the neighborhood watch leader who fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, said Thursday that his client has received about $200,000 from supporters.

Orlando lawyer Mark O'Mara told CNN's "AC360" that George Zimmerman told him Wednesday of the donations as they were trying to shut down his Internet presence to avoid concerns about possible impersonators.

"He asked me what to do with his PayPal accounts and I asked him what he was talking about," O'Mara told Anderson Cooper. "And he said those were the accounts that had the money from the website he had. And there was about 200, $204,000 that had come in to date."

O'Mara had said earlier this month that he believed Zimmerman had no money. "I think he's indigent for costs," he said, adding that Zimmerman's relatives had few assets.

I guess CNN would have choked on “donations pour in to assault victim”

What about Kala?

She was killed by a black woman that then kidnapped her child.

CNN is either getting less liberal or are losing the public—they said “killer” and not “murderer.”

He is getting donations not because he killed Martin, not because he was assaulted, not because he is a registered Dim. He is getting donations because he is being railroaded.

The American public has never liked to see someone railroaded. Dims traditionally have claimed some their favored criminals, such as the Rosenbergs, were being railroaded to draw on the publics sympathy for anyone who is being railroaded. They clearly do not like it when they can not manipulate natural sympathy of the American public as they have in the past.

Amazing what a $400 dollar an hour fee will buy you, isn't it.

The same racists who want to lynch Zimmerman would free Mumia in a heartbeat, and Mumia is everything they accuse Zimmerman of being.

I gave money, too.

I think we are fighting a proxy civil war, kind of a David-vs.-Goliath single-combat war against the racist Left.

And the good guys may have a win here.
