SO! The picture of George Zimmerman we've seen all over the media...

...was him when he was 21 years old. He's now 28.



How interesting. Everyone assumed Zimmerman was a heavyset guy with a sad, put-upon look on his face. His defenders claimed that, though armed, he would still feel threatened by a skinny young black man standing over 6 feet tall.

I don't know about you guys, but to me the Zimmerman at the police station--the buff guy with the goatee and shaved head--doesn't look like he'd feel threatened by the sight of a mere teenager.
