George Zimmerman Made Racist Remarks At Work (LISTEN)

Within a collection of evidence officially released by the State Attorney's Office on Thursday, was an audio recording of a 15-minute interview with George Zimmerman's former co-worker. During the interview, the man, whose name was not given, says that Zimmerman racially targeted him and bullied him at work, ThinkProgress.com reports.
According to the witness, Zimmerman singled him out because he was Middle Eastern, calling him a "fucking moron" and mocking him with the voice of "Achmed the terrorist." He said Zimmerman would also tell stories and make jokes about "bombing" and other "Middle Eastern stuff."

In addition to the second-degree murder charge he's facing, Zimmerman could also face federal hate crime charges. If convicted of second-degree murder, Zimmerman could serve a maximum sentence of life in prison. However, if he is found guilty of a federal hate crime charge, he could face the death penalty.
The witness said that he never felt physically threatened by Zimmerman or had any violent interaction with him. He said that he complained to management about Zimmerman's behavior, and Zimmerman was eventually "fired for calling the HR hotline so many times."
Complaints about Zimmerman's behavior aren't new. In the past, his neighbors complained about his aggressive tactics as a neighborhood watchmen and public records show he was arrested in Orange County in 2005 on charges of resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Since his arrest, Zimmerman has been released on bond. The case is expected to go to trial.

I wonder if this thread had any value. it reflects or reveals entrenched positions. The law will run its course and justice might be done.

I just look for updates in this thread since apparently the trial won't begin until next year.

A sort of blog, Giovanni? That makes sense I guess.

zimmers myspace page now entered into evidence?


A Myspace page that belonged to George Zimmerman in 2005 has been brought to light, and some of the contents of his page have been scrutinized in a Miami Herald article entitled “George Zimmerman’s crude Myspace page from 2005 uncovered.” The O’Mara Law Group has confirmed this page did belong to Mr. Zimmerman, though it was hacked into, and George abandoned it. The identified posts were his.

The article details a number of statements that will cast Mr. Zimmerman in a less-than-favorable light especially considering the charges he faces. In that regard, it is possible that the statements Mr. Zimmerman made could be used as part of the trial, and therefore it is our policy not to comment directly on items that could become evidence.

Frances Robles, the Miami Herald reporter that broke the story tweeted “Crump tells me #Zimmerman's anti-Mexican comments on MySpace show ‘a pattern of profiling.’” We believe that inviting public scrutiny of the contents of this social media account invites scrutiny of the social media accounts of all parties involved. While these social media accounts may be public, we will not comment on them publicly, as they may be part of the evidence produced at trial.

It has been a useful, if occasionally dispiriting opportunity for BMs to discuss their versions of justice. The speculation on what actually happened has been the most tiresome because it relies on 'new revelations' without establishing an objective context for them, or indeed incontrovertible facts, other than that one person was shot dead. An object lesson in how one event can become, in the media, several events, and further proof of the way in which 'the truth' about an event, regardless of the evidence, can never be understood; or that maybe some people refuse to accept one narrative and create another -whether it is FDR knowing about a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour before it happened, the assassinations of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King, MalcolmX, and down to 9/11.

A clip from a TV show called "Without Prejudice?" which was on GSN a couple of years ago. l think this video will help people to start an important dialog. ***** UPDATE E-MAIL FROM MICHAEL (Contestant on the show): Awesome man. This is so random but i am so glad you put this up. Folks are talking. The show won awards in the UK and so they made a US version. This was the pilot episode and the most popular. it was such a success that they got a full season from it. it is an hour long show and we were all randomly chosen. The judges and the contestants. So they wanted to see if the judges could "judge" without prejudice. They would go on to award the winner 25K. I was the winner. Myself and the other finalist were the only 2 contestants that got to actually meet the judges and when i met them, the polynesian guy had a change of heart and actually voted FOR me. The edits don't show that he came from his seat and hugged me. It was a very interesting experience. We had no idea what the judges were saying or doing or who they even were, for that matter. so i had no idea that he was racist when i went out and met the judges. It ended well though. I talked to that guy over a meal and he said that he had a change of heart.

zimmermans lawyer is busy making excuse for him running out of lies

JOHNNIE TAYLOR RUNNING OUT OF LIES

[Willie Escalade]

Wow at that video! (Not the Johnnie Taylor one)

Does that asshole really think blacks WANT to be singled out? If these dickheads were to just give EVERYONE a fair shake in life instead of prejudging there wouldn't NEED to be an NAACP, or affirmative action, or even GLAAD. I probably would have gone off on that fool...
