George Zimmerman, since shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin a little over one year ago, has worked hard to convince the public that he didn’t murder the teen because of racial prejudice, but that he acted in self-defense as Martin attacked him.
Now comes Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman, Jr., who is not helping his cause one bit. According to news reports, on Saturday, Zimmerman went on a twitter tirade against “black teens,” equating Martin with De’Marquise Elkins, the 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a Georgia infant.
As highlighted by Mediaite, Zimmerman tweeted a photo comparison between Elkins and Martin flipping their middle fingers with the caption, “A picture speaks a thousand words…Any questions?”
Zimmerman tweeted the photo at Michael Moore, the NAACP, the NRA, and a Breitbart.com editor. He followed it up with another comparison between the two, tweeting “Teen to West: “Do you want me to shoot your baby?” #TrayvonMartin to #GeorgeZimmerman: You’re gonna die tonight Motherf**ker.”
George Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of Martin. His trial is set to begin on June 10.
