George Zimmerman's brother defends anti-Trayvon tweet

Contends Martin's vulgar Facebook photo reveals person media covered up

March 27, 2013

by Michael Thompson

Michael Thompson works in the marketing department for WND.com and WND Books and is the social media manager for WND.

The older brother of George Zimmerman, the man accusing of killing Trayvon Martin, says a controversial Twitter posting comparing Martin with an alleged baby killer was his attempt to correct the establishment media’s false portrayal of the Florida teen in the racially charged case.

Robert Zimmerman, who spoke with WND in an exclusive interview, ignited a firestorm of debate on the Internet when he juxtaposed a Facebook photo of the 17-year-old Martin flipping off the camera alongside a Facebook photo of alleged killer DeMarquise Elkins, also 17, doing the same.

The tweeted photo was headlined: “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?”

In contrast to the boyish images of Martin favored by media, Robert Zimmerman told WND, the social-media photos represent “the way [the two teens] decided they wanted to express themselves to the world on those platforms.”

“George Zimmerman never encountered the person portrayed in the media, he encountered the person who portrayed himself in social media [flipping off the camera],” he said.

Martin’s Facebook photo, Robert Zimmerman said, “doesn’t push the narrative of the monster killing the child the media created immediately following the events of last February.”

George Zimmerman has pleaded not-guilty to second-degree murder for the killing of Martin in February 2012, claiming he shot the teen in self-defense.

“The selective editing by NBC to portray my brother as a racist is akin to the media using younger pictures of Trayvon Martin to make people think that’s the person Zimmeran encountered,” Robert Zimmerman told WND.

“We were presented with childlike, cherub-like pictures of Trayvon Martin by a media hoping to create a monster narrative out of the story, juxtaposing images of my brother side-by-side with this angel. But that’s not who George encountered that night.”

Robert Zimmerman argues that the Facebook photo was Martin’s “digital footprint,” the “way he wanted to be portrayed.”

“He knew he was doing when he took that picture and posted it to social media,” Zimmerman said.

“I did something on social media, and now I’m in trouble. That’s fair game. But look what Trayvon Martin had posted – an image that the media actively hid. Why isn’t that fair game? That was his self-portrayal, which is the most ethical way to portray him,” said Zimmerman.

He noted that the provocative social-media photos of DeMarquise Elkins began circulating only days after Elkins was accused of shooting 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in the head and shooting the baby’s mother in Brunswick, Ga.

“His social media pictures are fair game,” he argued. “They aren’t controversial.”

But somehow, he said, using a photo of Trayvon Martin, the way the teen portrayed himself, is not considered fair game.

“The way he is portrayed by attorneys and media strategists is the way we are introduced to him – a picture of Trayvon Martin skiing when he is in the eighth grade is not the person [my brother] encountered in February 2012,” he said.

“More than a year after the incident, the media still uses flattering images of Trayvon Martin as the person who George Zimmerman encountered. We thought the media would do its job, and that Travyon Martin 2.0 would emerge.”

he is back again defending all things nigger radical violent nasty behaving, demanding, self-entitled dark people.

Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president

Was Trayvon Martin playing the ... “knockout game” --- with Zimmerman?

It would be good for his defense to go on the OFFENSE with this angle. Paint the attack by Martin as a hate crime.

This is ... exactly --- what Obummer wants.

He can then call in his brown shirts -DHS, TSA & declare martial law. That will give him the right to detain you without trial & confiscation of any weapons you have or own. That is why he wants gun registration, as they will know what weapons you own & will destroy your home to find them. DHS has ordered & is being supplied with 2.2 Billion rounds of various caliber HP ammo, specialized sniper rounds as well as 2700 MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. Body armor & riot gear as well as 7,000 Full-auto military rifles. Today another bid went out for another 250,000 rounds. Our military & police, as well as citizens are having a very hard time getting ammo & crickets out of Nancy Nutcase, our head of DHS. She has so far refused to explain the reasons for enough ammo to shoot every US citizen half a dozen times. Even some of our Military are worried. Obama's racial division is for a reason, his loyalties are to neither blacks nor whites, his loyalty is to the Muslim Brotherhood, who he just gave 300 million with congressional knowledge or approval. It will get a lot worse than it is now.

TM got in trouble at school for rabbit punching a school bus driver and I believe there is video recording of him doing it.

This *might* be the reason for his third school suspension and would place TM squarely in the thug category.

How did Trayvon even know that Mall Cop got out of his truck to chase him? Listen to the 911 tape...he doesn't get out of the truck until AFTER he says "Shit...he's running..."

Oopsie...
