George Zimmermans Brother: Black Teens Are Killers
By Aviva Shen on Mar 25, 2013 at 9:04 am
Since he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year, George Zimmerman has been trying to convince the public that he was not acting simply out of racist aggression but because Martin attacked him. Zimmermans brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr, is not helping his cause. On Saturday, Zimmerman went on a Twitter tirade against black teens, equating the boy killed by his brother with DeMarquise Elkins, the 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a Georgia infant.
As highlighted by Mediaite, Zimmerman tweeted a photo comparison between Elkins and Martin flipping their middle fingers with the caption, A picture speaks a thousand words
Any questions?
Zimmerman tweeted the photo at Michael Moore, the NAACP, the NRA, and a Breitbart.com editor. He followed it up with another comparison between the two, tweeting
Teen to West:
Do you want me to shoot your baby? #TrayvonMartin to #GeorgeZimmerman: Youre gonna die tonight Motherf**ker.
In case the reason for his comparison of the two young black men was unclear, Zimmerman later tweeted:
.@TheRealPest @michaelskolnik - Lib media shld ask if what these2 black teens did 2 a woman&baby is the reason ppl think blacks mightB risky

(14,532 posts)the gold standard by which he advocates corporal punishment, Zimmerman should have shot me by the time I was 9.
One kid is throwing up gang signs and the other one is flipping the bird...The two people that are most alike are George and the "allegeded" baby killer because they both killed two innocent children with a handgun. Trayvon and the baby have something in common in that they are no longer here on earth...But by all means please Proceed with your racist diatribe Mr. George Zimmerman's brother, as this contradicts your asshole brothers testimony that he did not profile Trayvon Martin because he was a young black kid with a hoodie on.

Some of us are trying to build a better world Trayvon....I swear.
