George Zimmerman released from jail
WJXT-TV / The Associated Press ^ | April 23, 2012

SANFORD, Fla. - George Zimmerman was released around midnight Monday from a county jail on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag. He met a man in a white vehicle and drove away. His ultimate destination is being kept secret for his safety and it could be outside Florida.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said at a hearing Friday he cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. Zimmerman also surrendered his passport....

Next to Sasha, is that an image of a skull on the window?

I’d like to give his Dad and his stepmom/ step dad’s girlfriend (heck what would you call her anyway?) a bloody good punch or 10 myself as incredibly crappy parents.

Sure, a 17 year old is old enough to babysit while you get an evening out, but don’t you actually check their room when you get home, instead of assuming the 17 year old is in bed asleep? Seriously, you don’t spend 3 seconds to crack the door and see he is asleep?

That bit of info rankled me mightily. Parenting fail 101. Been looking hard and not found any reliable information as to when Trayvons father took off from him and his mother.

I’ll lay you a bet though - it was after the picture the MSM keeps jamming down our throats was taken.
That looks like a happy, secure kid.

I am trying to keep my mind open. Getting harder as more details come out, and, if TM did start the fight that lead to his death I am gonna put the blame exactly where it belongs. On his Mom and Dad.
Heck, we know he had a phone with him - someone starts following him why the heck didn’t TM call 911? You would. I would.
Because to his friends, cops are the enemy and his mother was just his mother. Not his father. You note that when he got suspended she sent him up to his dad?

There’s more projection going on there than in a 16 theater cineplex.

black gang banger gold teeth thug from hell.

Just what kind of 'thug' would be spending his afterschool hours studying aircraft maintenance?

Trayvon Martin spent his freshman year and much of his sophomore year at Carol City High School. During this time he participated in the Discover Aviation afterschool program at George T.Baker Aviation.

No one should have to post Fake pictures when there are real ones.

w/apologies to Elton John, sung to the tune of ‘Levon’:

Trayvon groupies wear hoodies like a crown
You would think that thug was Jesus
Trayvon, oh they all now love that name,
Like Martin, Malcom, Jesse and Fat Al...

Trayvon, Trayvon’s Momma wants that money!
She’ll win a lot they say,
With lawyers, and race pimps by the bushel,
They’re countin’ that money every single day!

And Trayvon! He say “you gonna die now!”
As he reached for Zimmerman’s gun,
But Zimmerman, he was faster than Trayvon,
And pulled the trigger, and blew that thug away...

And they shall shout TRAYVON!
And they’ll say he was a good man!
And they shall shout TRAYVON!
And put a bounty out on Zimmerman!

They shall scream Traaaaayvonnnn!!!

The gold tooth thug photos look like a 14yr old and don't even look like him.

His Twitter avatar photo looks older than 14.

There's an old scar or something below his right eye, which is useful for sorting the fakes from the real.

His online presence is of somebody spoiling for a confrontation. His anger at being profiled by Zimmerman is fully justified. However, his assault on Zimmerman was a crime, and Zimmerman's response thereto was justifiable homicide. It's very unfortunate. If it hadn't happened, maybe he'd have become a great airplane mechanic. Or maybe not.

The opinion of the People of Florida does not matter and is worthy only of contempt. The white Corey is even uglier than the black one, BTW.

I don’t think the truth lies in demonizing Trayvon because he is like a lot of kids - good and bad.

However, I do think Trayvon might have been busting bad on “whitey’ Zimmerman because he was being watched (what you lookin’ at?) and I think he had been in trouble involving robbery and assault on a bus driver in the period leading to his death. Maybe he got into drugs and/or the wrong crowd. It’s very sad for his mom. I hope he was close to Jesus and is with God in heaven.

And Zimmerman did not deserve to be killed by an angry BIG young man if what Zimmerman says is true. He’s allowed to watch for criminals like everyone else. Terrible situation that would haunt anyone put into it.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said at a hearing Friday he cannot have any guns >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

With every black radical who totes a firearm out to kill him, why were his second amendment rights removed?

I hope he has a few people around him carrying heavy.

Come to think it, Zimmerman is a leftist radical magnet. Maybe they will stake him out like a sacrificial lamb and bait the ba$tards, and off the lot of them, doing the nation a great service.

Good luck Mr. Zimmerman, may you prevail in your trials unlawfully foisted upon you.This was caused by a president who commented on this criminal case, removing the full rights of due process from Zimmerman. This is horribly wrong in a free nation. to subject any citizen to a political show trial.

I am surprised that defence counsel is not moving on the constitutional issue of due process, requesting a gag order against POSOTUS, and moving the indictment be struck.

Hurray!

He should've been released several days ago.

George is an innocent man. The people who should be arrested are the Black Panthers.

Her real given name is Natasha, which is Russian. To hide Barky's homage to communism the leftist media always refers to her as Sasha. Natasha spelled backwards is Ah, Satan! There is something seriously evil about Barky.

Considering the range at which Zimmerman used a gun when he did have it, a knife would have served his purpose.

I wouldn’t give a tinker’s damn if Martin was on the honor roll and was building airplanes so he could donate the proceeds to charity.

If, as Zimmerman claims, he decided to put an ass whuppin’ on the guy who dissed him by following him and asking an unreasonable question like “what are you doing here?” and continued to administer it by slamming his head in the sidewalk after he broke his nose, then he deserved to get shot.

If Zimmerman attacked Martin and Martin was merely getting the upper hand in the fight when Zimmerman decided to shoot, then he didn’t deserve it.

So far, the physical evidence points to the former, while the witness testimony is predictably split, but tends to favor Zimmerman.

Unless the prosecutor has something major up their sleeve, then it looks like Zimmerman had the book thrown at him for political reasons.

How does a guy released at midnight keep a 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM curfew?

The jail government workers just care about billing the county for another full day while doing no actual work, hence releases always begin at 12:01 am, never before.

Getting out on bail is not supposed to be probation. I can see reasonable restrictions to insure the accused show up on their court date, but curfews and bans on alcohol and firearms are punishments that have nothing to do with that. How is that even constitutional?

Or maybe they’ll “Breitbart” him with air from a hypodermic needle...

Loosen the foil hat. You're making a fool of yourself.

Here is a real pic, much more recent and true to the nature of TM than the ones you posted:



Is whatever he was doing 2 years ago in an afterschool program more indicative of his attitude and state of mind than the fact that he was suspended from school three times this year: once for drugs, once for vandalism (also caught w/jewelry and thief tool), and for being in an "unauthorized area" of the school - don't think too hard about that one.

Did you read his tweets? How about the brag about slugging a bus driver and references to gunplay? How about the vids of TM refereeing fights at achool? Here's another more recent pic for you:
