The environment is just too target rich for the likes of the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons of the world, especially when they smell blood money. Like sharks they won't wait for the facts, no, they will attack while the headlines are still warm with blood in the water. That's how they make headlines. That's how they make money. That's how they blackmail governments into making unnecessary laws. That's how they use people to get what they want.

A statement by George Zimmerman's father, a retired judge:
“The tragic events of February 26 are very sad for all concerned. The Martin family, our family, and the entire community have been forever changed.
The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting are false and extremely misleading. Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas.
George is a Spanish speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever. One black neighbor recently interviewed said she knew everything in the media was untrue and that she would trust George with her life. Another black neighbor said that George was the only one, black or white, who came and welcomed her to the community, offering any assistance he could provide. Recently, I met two black children George invited to a social event. I asked where they met George. They responded that he was their mentor. They said George visited them routinely, took them places, helped them, and taught them things and that they really loved George. The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth.
The events of February 26 reported in the media are also totally inaccurate. Out of respect for the on-going investigation, I will not discuss specifics. However, the media reports of the events are imaginary at best. At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event become public, and I hope that will be soon, everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media.
Our entire family is deeply sorry for the loss of Trayvon. We pray for the Martin family daily. We also pray that the community will grieve together and not be divided by more unwarranted hate.
The Zimmerman family will have no further contact with the media prior to the resolution of the investigation. It would be greatly appreciated if the media would respect our privacy.”
If, according to liberals, minorities can't be racist which is a preposterous idea, George Zimmerman could not have committed racial profiling nor a hate crime given his background and racial makeup.
What really happened? Hopefully we will see, but racists like the Sharptons, Jacksons and others who use race as a tool to gain power, make money and to get cheap headlines, will try their best to make sure the facts have nothing to do with the verdict.
George Zimmerman has a family too. Maybe he isn't racially acceptable to racists.
