Like just about every other person on the left – save for attorney Alan Dershowitz – Hillary Clinton has actively embraced the falsehoods surrounding the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Not surprisingly, the living symbol of those fictions, Martin’s birth mother, Sybrina Fulton, has endorsed Hillary. “Sybrina, you and all mothers of gun violence victims have taught us hate will never win,” Hillary tweeted last week. “Thinking of you today.”
For the last four years, George Zimmerman has struggled under the weight of this agitprop and is openly hostile to those, like Clinton, who profit from it.
This week the Daily Beast interviewed Zimmerman in no small part to understand his aversion to Clinton. Those of us who know the case – I wrote a book on the subject, “If I Had a Son” – came away thinking that Zimmerman was the only honest person in that interview room.

I thought Martin was in possession of burglary tools?
If not this incident, then a prior one.
The punk was certainly no saint. He thought he’d show the white Hispanic boy what a badass he was, and instead, he got his comeuppance
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving thug . . .until St Michael turned up
The media saw the name Zimmerman and assumed he was a typical white man...may have thought he was Jewish because Bob Dylan's real name is Zimmerman. They wanted to believe that he was an evil white Southern man going after an innocent black teenager because they want to believe that the South is full of white racists, so they shaped the news to fit their narrative.
Not a mention of if being used in self defense or that Z was getting the crap beat out of him.
Yep. Something that the folks in the military have to deal with. Ditto for the police.
We sometimes take for granted the tough decisions that other people have to make on our behalf.
