In his first public comments since the U.S. Department of Justice announced it would not prosecute him for violating Trayvon Martin's civil rights, George Zimmerman says he was victimized by President Obama.
The president should never have allowed the DOJ investigation and is guilty of ramping up racial tension when he said, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon," Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman is the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012, setting off civil rights demonstrations across the country and beyond.
A Seminole County jury acquitted Zimmerman of manslaughter in 2013.
Zimmerman went into hiding after the shooting and still tightly guards his privacy.

He has rejected most media request for an interview but on March 8 video-recorded an interview with his Tampa divorce lawyer, Howard Iken, of Ayo and Iken PLC.
In it, he faulted the media for portraying him as a racist and the criminal justice system for bringing him to trial but saved his harshest criticism for Obama, whom he accused of trying to prosecute “an innocent American.”
“For him to make incendiary comments as he did and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution, he by far over-stretched, over-reached,” Zimmerman said.
The president, who he referred to as “Barack Hussein Obama,” should have told the public, “ ‘Let’s not rush to judgment,’ “ Zimmerman said.
Nice shooting, GZ..!!
George is doing his Captain Obvious impression.
Go to the link and read the few comments! They hate GZ in Orlando!
In related matters, the sun rises in the east, the ocean is wet and obama is still a narcissist man-child. Developing..
Talk about obvious. There was almost a race war.
Wow - you think so?
Talk about obvious. There was almost a race war.
If George had changed his name to Ben Ghazi, Zero would have have shut up on the spot.
We ate dinner that night at a small diner in Sanford, driving past the very area, coming and going. The next morning, a business associate in Chicago was calling my husband to see if he’d heard about this “crazy white supremacist named Zimmerman”.
That paper is a leftist rag. I went in and put my comment for what it is worth. Take a peek....
Sanford is a rough area. They all would have been armed to the teeth if a riot broke out and they all would have been ready to roll.
George Zimmerman: President Obama amped up racial tension against me

Well to be fair, it wasn’t just Obama. He had Holder, Crump, Angela Corey, Sharpton, Jackson and hundreds of other racists involved.
We were, we were and roll we would!
I knew it. Howdy neighbor!

How about the conservatives who threw him under the bus even before the facts were in? Even some Freepers. It was sickening.
I can’t adequately express my disgust at Obama, Holder and their whole race-baiting administration. If you’re a white cop or ordinary white citizen who defends himself against a black assailant, prepare to be subjected to Soviet-style vilification, show trials and threats to your safety. If you’re a cop, expect your whole department to be turned upside-down by government witch hunters. If you live in a town where this happened, like Ferguson, be prepared for the value of your home to plummet and the local businesses that provide you with services to close. And don’t expect an apology when the government is finally forced to admit that the original act of self-defense was justified. The rule of law exists in this country only when our masters allow it. I pray that one day we will strike out and destroy this evil.
You forgot Spike Lee.
