I wonder if one traced his genealogy if he has some Jewish ancestry. There are a lot of Jews with the last name Zimmerman.

Then He would be a White-Hispanic-Jew.

Fun with hyphens.

White is the only race listed. Hispanic is ethnicity. Jewish is both a religion and ethnicity.

~90% of Spaniards(from which Hispanic is derived) in Spain are Caucasian(white). Half of Hispanics(~26million) in the US are Caucasian(white). George Zimmerman is at least half white. The rest of his make up is varied but probably includes black, white, and native.

My wife is a white Hispanic. Lily white skin but her moms side is Hispanic(arguabley white Hispanic since they are descended from Spain and not Mexico/Latin America) and her dads side is Caucasian/German.

Did Al Sharpton put ya up to this?
GZ was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. He doesn't deserve any kind of karma, but you might for showing such ignorance.

I'm not aware Al Sharpton ever said GZ was guilty of a crime.

Are you saying he did ?

Have you followed this case at all?


I don't understand how you can make all of these over reaching conclusions when you clearly don't know the facts of what's going on.

Quit thinking with your emotions, step back, use some logic and come to an unbiased conclusion.

Saying there are grounds for charges isn't the same thing as saying those charges should be ruled on in a particular way.

In other words, if he is saying there is probable cause, that doesn't mean he's saying there's proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Which is what he would need to say if he has said GZ should be convicted.

I'm still waiting for evidence he ever said that ?

You don't get it... There was NO probably cause... Literally not one thing, not criminal, not racial, none of it.



The only criminal and racial actions were by your main man thug Trayvon Martin, per the state's star witness ms dee dee jenteel.

So you are arguing that Al Sharpton wants GZ charge with a crime he doesn't think he committed? o_O

Well as we all know a Indictment is not a conviction.

Indictment? He hasn't even been charged with anything yet.

GZ seems like a real good guy though. All the crap that's happend since his aquittal really makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Of course she's not pressing charges...

She wants to get paid if he gets paid.

As always, making judgements off of allegations that haven't even led to charges is pretty pointless. That said, I have heard that GZ has been pulled over a couple of times for speeding since his acquittal and now this happens. There are two possibilities as I see it:
1. GZ feels invincible since he was acquitted. This leads to reckless behavior.
2. We aren't getting all of the facts. GZ may be pulled over for things a non-infamous person would not be. His wife and her family may have ulterior motives.

Which one is it? I have no idea, but making my mind up on one of these possibilities without the facts is exactly what led to the original debacle of a trial.

Or GZ has been pushed to the breaking point by stress and instead of just laughing at his FIL or trading barbs, blows up and tells him to STFU. Since, again, we don't have video of what went on, we won't really know. It's interesting though that this time, the person pitted against GZ didn't decide to MMA ground and pound his head on concrete, thereby getting shot.

It would seem his FIL has more brains than TM at least...

Meant to include that option as well.

The general point of my post is that we just don't know. People like to make snap judgements based on a single news report, but we have nowhere close to all of the facts.

Why would Sharpton want Zimmerman to be charged with a civil rights violation.

By definition used by the Justice Department, violation of civil rights is a crime.

simple substitution is that Sharpton wants Zimmerman retried for civil rights violation which is a Federal Crime.
