Darwin Groves, the business's manager, left, and Donald Sampson, owner, stand with a sign that calls for George Zimmerman's innocence, which is located outside of their business Monday, July 8, 2013 at 120 S. Center St. in Flint. George Zimmerman is currently being tried in the 2012 murder case of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla.
FLINT, MI – George Zimmerman – the Florida man on trial for a charge of second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin – has a cheering section nearly 1,200 miles away at a Flint business.
Donald Sampson, owner of Junk Iron & Metal, 120 S. Center Road, has a large sign posted in front of his business that reads, “Justice for George Zimmerman not guilty."
“I put up the sign because I think it’s wrong of the judge over the case to excuse the jury during the testimony of the lead investigator on the case,” Sampson said.

Sampson made reference to the fact that the judge dismissed parts of testimony from Sanford, Fla. police investigator Chris Serino who called into question Zimmerman's credibility. The judge called it an "improper comment" for one witness to question another's credibility.
“I was an officer for 10 years and I’m currently a licensed (private investigator). I’ve never, in all my years in law enforcement, heard of anything like that. He’s the lead investigator. His testimony is critical. That’s silly of the judge.”
Sampson said that he feels Zimmerman was justified in defending himself against “the attacks of Martin.” The sign has been in place for nearly a week....

And I like the “closed Sundays” panel as much or better.
Gutsy in this 24/7 phoney-baloney economy
No kidding. He’ll probably be one of the first businesses firebombed if and when a not guilty verdict is rendered.
Very gutsy. Now, where are their sons and grandsons, and their friends?
THANK GOODNESS some people have the courage. More people think like this than think like Holder’s rent a mob.
NOT GUILTY OR YOU ARE A RACIST...
In addition to the poster, they painted a big target on their roof.
These guys are slick...
Hope they stocked up on ammo.
And balls like church bells. Hope they’re OK in the days ahead.
True patriots.
“He’ll probably be one of the first businesses firebombed ...”
Those good ol’ boys look like they’ed be ready for someone to try that.
Given the information in the article, I suspect any firebombing of Sampson's business will go no further than "attempted", and probably with the attempted firebomber ending up with a Molotov cocktail suppository.
Brave men.
Holding down the Fort on Sunday.
Not that slick. LOL
Not guilty and I am a racist!
They are on the verge of baiting.
Looks like the feller on the right has a Ruger Mini 14. Good choice!
Ummm... What?
