A Florida judge revoked the bail bond of George Zimmerman on Friday and ordered the man charged in the death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin to surrender within 48 hours.

He probably will be killed in jail.
He already has another girl friend....NOOOOOOOOO, Don't need a # 4 DIL.....
just teasing (no I am not), love him, don't need another female in my family...He is a sweet guy....just like you....:O)
His mom said he was a good boy and he liked skittles, too.
Let's say it was you. It took every penny of your money (and your family's money) to pay the extremely high bail.
Now, people across the nation DONATE money to go to your LEGAL EXPENSES (Lawyer).
Based on what you see in the 'news' you know it is going to take every penny to pay the lawyer. Ergo... you will never see a penny of that money. Another way to look at it... If you have $100,000/yr income, and your yearly expenses are $110,000, how RICH are you?
WITHOUT that donation money, it is also likely you cannot afford the type of legal representation that will be necessary to deal with this kind of FEDERALLY ORDERED LYNCHING.
The amount of bail set by the JUDGE is supposed to be determined by the 'type' of crime and the likelihood of whether you will try to FLEE.
Zimmerman already made a deal with the LE that he would let top officials know where he was, to ensure he could not flee.
The whole point of REVOKING and RESETTING the bail amount, at this time, is to take away the FUNDS that the public donated for his LEGAL DEFENSE.
Wear those shoes, and see how you feel, and what you think you would do.
Me, I don’t know the difference between bail and bond. They both start with “B”. All I know is that more money is to be dished out of Mr Zimmerman’s pocket.
Why didn’t they assess how much all his stuff is worth? (wife’s jewelry, car, computers TV etc...?)
Why don’t they just drain his blood from his body? Hang him and get it over with? We all know what the root of this is.
Wouldn’t that satisfy the black lynch mob?
Maybe I too am of the Vince Foster paranoia club in that I can understand why the Left would put someone in a situation where their death would be both “accidental” and fortuitous—meaning, in Zimmerman's situation, a jailhouse Jeffrey Dahmer “accident”...
...and the Clintons got nothing on Chicagoland!
No, you are not. Ignorant, if you wish, but not stupid. Stupid is when someone tells you the facts, and you still don't get it. Like Democrats.
The important part is that she DID get married and it wasn't to me.
Man would be crazy to sign up for something like that.

The judge could have ordered that all the money donated through paypal be returned to the donators.
Heck,why stop there, fine the donators. Shut down paypal for allowing the money to go to Mr Zimmerman's account.
Why is it legitimate for the legal system to penalize GZ or any other defendant by imposing a bail so high they know a bondsman will be required and a non-refundable 10% will be charged?
What would a higher bail do in this instance? All that would happen is the enrichment of another bondsman. GZ would have money taken from him by the state. Why isn’t this considered punishment before trial?
Now I recognize that lying to the court is not to be condoned, but it is not a good reason to imprison him until trial.
Bad screwup on his part, but somewhat understandable.
The court has to recognize that if he did go on the run, a lot of people would support him through contributions...
BAIL is the CASH money you pay to the BONDSMAN to get you out of jail. You do NOT get this money back, ever. It is usually around 10% of the actual BOND.
BOND is a piece of paper (a promissory note) that the BONDSMAN gives the court for the full amount set by the Judge.
If you appear for trial, the JUDGE dismisses the BOND (the BOND is released), and the BONDSMAN is not out any money at all, and has made a profit of the 10% of the BOND.
If you do not appear, the BONDSMAN then must pay the full amount of the BOND (make good on the note). This makes the BONDSMAN very mad, and he/she will pay HANDSOMELY for a SKIP TRACER (Bounty Hunter) to find you, because that’s an awfully large amount of money to come up with. So... they find you and retrieve you, dead or alive.
LOL you wised up, I don’t think my son has yet..he’s in his 50’s and owns his own business, and women just keep coming after him.....I had to laugh at one female that kept calling him, and I said DO NOT RETURN THAT CALL. now he has another one.....they seem to fall out of the tree’s when he passes under one....
I know it was sarcasm, but the Judge could NOT do those things.
What he can do is what he is doing. Trying to ensure that Mr. Zimmerman does not have the means for a proper legal defense.
I have never heard of a JUDGE setting the BOND based on the defendant's 'income' (real, imagined, or pending).
I have seen Judge's set the BOND for crimes involving RAPE, MURDER, and BILLIONS of DOLLARS of theft way lower than Zimmerman's, based on the concept that they were 'low' flight risks.
Mr Zimmerman did not “earn” that money, how can he claim that it was his?
He’s been through a lot. His brain had to be fried by what was happening to him. How can any court expect him to think clearly?
I’m sure some of us honestly forget to declare something either because we are so used to something or it is so new that we haven’t accepted it as our possession yet.
Anyway, he got that money AFTER the self defense shooting, not before.
I’m just wondering if this isn’t one way that the judge could stop donations coming in.
Another thought is that the Martins have NOT been able to raise as much as Mr Zimmerman has.
I don't think they like the idea of Zimmerman being able to have a lawyer to defend him.
I'm not sure what the real reason why this story got so much coverage. Because of the "Stand Your Ground" law and their desire to get rid of the right of self-defense? Or because it was a rare case of a "white" person (who turned out to be Hispanic and part-black) killing a black person--to divert attention from the fact that most blacks who are killed are killed by other black people? Or because Jesse Jackson wants to relive the 1960s and needed someone to symbolize the bad old days in the South?
Or is it to send a message to "crackers" that they have no right to a fair trial in Obama's America?
The 'Rats didn't get away with lynching the Duke lacrosse players, but now they've got Zimmerman in their sights.
Capt. Zimmerman did not lie to the court.

Like any normal person understands anything that happens in court. This is just judicial persecution.
The prosecutor and the media are angry that he has a defense fund. Simple as that. He is innocent. Any other verdict is a lynching designed to buy racial peace.
