George Zimmerman

[SLP]

NBC sure owes Zimmerman an apology. Producer altered the 911 tape and by doing so made it sound like it was racially motivated.

The segment in question was shown on the “Today” show on March 27. It included audio of Mr. Zimmerman saying, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
But Mr. Zimmerman’s comments had been taken grossly out of context by NBC. On the phone with a 911 dispatcher, he actually said of Mr. Martin, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.” Then the dispatcher asked, “O.K., and this guy — is he white, black or Hispanic?” Only then did Mr. Zimmerman say, “He looks black.”

Fired?? He should be sued by zimmerman as well as NBC and that person should be arrested for his wrong doing. NBC said it was a mistake?!?!? Really??? After all the play and damage that tape has done and it was a mistake? Good gosh. I wonder how many people have tried to harm this man because of that tape? Zimmerman needs to go through the legal system for his actions but NBC should pay for their careless use and manipulation of information.

I am not certain if he broke any law that he could be prosecuted, but if he did they should throw the book at him.

They should make it a law that you can't edit 911 tapes if you choose to air them and call it the Zimmerman law.

I agree Zimmerman should sue the producer and NBC.

No doubt man. I don't know the laws well enough but I'm sure someone will look into it.

Exactly,the media and Racist African Americans in this country have made this out to be something it isn't.When Blacks are charged equally in hate crimes for attacking Whites I'll say there is equality.
I can show you a recent case in Virginia where a Teenage White couple where savagely beaten ,Raped,Murdered,and Mutilated by 5 Blacks who admitted hating White People,yet they are not charged under Federal Hate Crimes.

Have to agree media is using non current photos that make a 17 year old look like a 14,a better pic is of him at a rally wearing a hoodie and much taller and bigger.
As for what happened dunno dont desire to convict him prior to trial,media is sure trying to as well as the african american community.
Personally if legally carrying a gun(this is a carry state with a permit) and someone regardless of color starts pummeling me they gonna get the whole clip.
And if it turns out its a 17 year old punk in a hoodie with a nose ring so be it.
Im 130 lbs sopping wet and know several 16-17 year olds hitting near 200,who in reality know that not much can be done against them,regardless of creed ,color etc.I would waste them all equally without discrimination.9mm semi wad cutters on a 45 frame,if that one dont get ya the other one will.
Its simple treat others as you want to be treated meanwhile dont tread on me
Yeah I know im highly opinionated
