Obama is commonly refered to as black when he is half black and half white.
George Zimmer is refered to as white when he is half peru half white.
WTF!?!
Zimmerman was not 250lbs (he was 250 in 2005)
Zimmerman weighs about 170.
Martin was walking around in a hooded sweatshirt at night in an area plauged with home invasion robberies and gang violence. How is anyone surprised when the neighborhood watch guy followed him around?!?!
Why are all the facts getting twisted in this?

Update:of the written publications.
In regards to multiple calls to 911. Um the guy was on the neighborhood watch, it is his job to call 911 and report suspicious people is it not? I dint now about you but if my neighborhood watch DIDNT call 911 I would be concerned!?!?!
In regards to autopsy and police records Martin was 17 not that's under 18 and that makes him a minor.
In regards to Zimmerman having a record:
Reported by Fox News:
In July 2005, Zimmerman, then 21, was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested by state alcohol agents on suspicion of serving underage drinkers, according to an arrest report in the Sentinel. Zimmerman became profane and pushed away an agent who tried to escort him, the report said. Authorities said he was arrested after a short struggle. Charged with resisting arrest without violence, he avoided conviction by entering a pretrial-diversion program, something common for first-time offenders.

the media should be tried for trying to instigate riots for ratings. IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM!
White, black, hispanic, purple, yellow, green.............who cares? While alot of people want to make this a "race issue" why arent we all just really pissed that a 17 year old boy, walking through a gated community with a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea was shot and killed because of the reckless action of someone else? My son is 15, wears hoodies and takes short cuts through peoples yards all the time (as Im sure we all did when we were kids) Does that make him "fair game" to any and every overzealous wanna be cop out there with a hand gun? This story is a tragedy for everyone involved.
Sorry lady, put Peru or Hispanic is NOT a race. We don't know what his mother is, so the only reasonable thing is to refer to him as what his father is - white. It can go either way.
Where did you get the information on his weight? And regardless of his weight - he pursued Trayvon, he had his gun OUT. Zimmerman's story makes no sense because he is saying the kid broke his nose (no word on hand injuries on Martin) and claims the kid was slamming his head into sidewalk (cement) and the kid was sitting on him while doing this. So he claims he was still able to hang onto the gun after having his nose broken and his head slammed into cement repeatedly and shoot the kid.
Zimmerman was told NOT to follow him. And the only reason he even called was because the kid was black and wearing a hoodie. He has a long history of calling on black people. He also had a history of violence - assault on a police officer and domestic violence.
If he had not pursued the kid, did not have his gun drawn, there would be no story here. If Zimmerman was injured, as he claimed, why no medical records. Why no police photos of his injuries? Why no autopsy showing the injuries to Martin's hands from breaking a nose?
YOU my dear are trying to twist the facts.
Edit: Anyone who cites Nancy Grace and Fox News as reliable sources (someone know for stating conjecture as fact) loses all credibility with me.
He must have had his gun out because he said Martin tried to take his gun away. How would Martin know he had a gun and been able to try to wrestle it out of his hand if he didn't have it out? Calling him white hispanic does not change the fact that Hispanic is NOT a race.
Why did he call 911? He had called 911 all the time - so much they knew who he was. And virtually all of his calls were about black people. Obvious bias. It would be interesting to see how many of those calls involved innocent people. And since he so loved 911, why didn't he call them after he was allegedly beat up and shot someone? He also kept witnesses away and prevented them from helping Martin. (He was standing there with a gun in his hand having just shot someone, so it was his power to stop them.)
He obviously did follow the kid, he admitted that he did. He was in a car until he got out to confront him. How would Martin have even been able to allegedly attack him if he hadn't followed him and gotten out of his car.
Zimmerman was charged with assault on a police officer and it was plea bargained down. That's violence. Likewise, he has also been charged with domestic violence. Clearly, the guy had a problem. He wanted to be a cop and I"m betting he couldn't be because he couldn't pass the psych exam.
What does his age have to do with whether or not there was an autopsy. (Speaking of which, several laws were broken in releasing his school records.) Likewise with the police record of the incident - he's a victim, not a criminal. You seem so desperate to paint him as a criminal - why?
Further Edit: I am now looking at a videotape of Zimmerman taken when he was brought to the police station an hour after the incident. His head is shaved and there is not a mark on it and no bandages. So much for the lie about having his head bashed into the ground. He claims his nose was broken, but it also looks fine, no marks, no blood, no bandages. (Believe me, a broken nose would at least look bruised.) Seems like your hero is a big fat liar. What a surprise.
He should of called the cops to report a suspicious person and then just left. And I am very suspicious of the fact details such as Martin punching him are only just now coming out. If the cops wanted to vindicate themselves, they should of told that little detail.
The fact is an armed mexican/white person shot an unarmed black teenager. At the very least a manslaughter charge should of come out of it.
What does this have to do with "celebrities"?
BTW- I'm wearing a hooded sweatshirt today; I do so quite often. Should I be profiled and followed?
(I'm a 67-year old white female).
You're an idiot
Uh-oh, I better throw away all my hoodies and get myself an umbrella.
