" George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who is accused of murder in the death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has raised at least $200,000 through a website set up to fund his defense, his lawyer said on Thursday"
"Donors contributed "just over $200,000," said Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's defense lawyer."
"The site set up to solicit funds for Zimmerman's defense, therealgeorgezimmerman.com, has since been shut down."

Why exactly would total strangers want to give Zimmerman of all people so much money? Much as I hate to say it, maybe this shows how many racists are still out there. Many see him shooting an unarmed young black man something heroic or at least that he somehow needs to be supported or defended against some kind of liberal smear.
There are many deserving recipients for charity-why was $200,000 on someone who is not at all deserving?

Gee thedyfent your a Zimmeman crazy. I wouldn't donate to your fund if my life depended on it.
ReplyDeleteBe honest with yourself: if Trayvon Martin was white you wouldn't be doing this.
All these racists are so insecure that they have to help their fellow racist?
Mr. Zimmerman's attorney assures people that donate that their identity would not be disclosed. Well, that is not being candid but rather a falsehood and a material misrepresentation because as he very well knows, all it takes is a Court issued subpoena duces tecum directed to the custodian of records for PayPal and they would be legally bound to turn over that information which would include e a transaction log that would detail the date, time, name, bank name, bank account information, IP Address, amount, AND email address for every person that click that button to send any money through PayPal . And once that information is provided, it could be published all over the social media where EVERYONE and his mother can see it. So don't be tricked into this dangerous game because it is like playing russian roulette...
ReplyDeleteWell, Anon, I can't think of a single good reason why anyone would want to give a bad penny to Mr. Zimmerman. I can think of a bad reason-Trayvon Martin, his victim, was black.
ReplyDeleteBut if your cautioning those who want to donate not to for their own protection sounds good to me. Whatever convinces people not to donate to Zimmerman is a good reason.
I'd prefer if they could see it's racism but if saving their own ass works I'll take it.
