Defending George Zimmerman
Defending George Zimmerman has to be one of the Conservative Right’s biggest regrets.
They were so busy being against the actual victim that they never really took a good look at the person they were turning into a “hero.” Trayvon Martin was a black teenager and that is all they needed to hear. The fact that he was unarmed and completely innocent of any crime meant nothing, as far as they were concerned “he must have been doing something wrong” because all black males are up to something… right? Therefore, they sided with Zimmerman. Because he may have been the actual instigator of the violent event, he may have been armed, and he may have already had a history of violence… but he wasn’t a black teen… Therefore, they chose to build him up, while pulling Trayvon down.
Moreover, since that decision, George Zimmerman has proven on multiple occasions that he doesn’t deserve it. Since the day he got away with murder, Zimmerman has been in the news multiple times because of once violent act after another. Oddly enough, he still has his supporters and apologist. I suppose he always will. However, I have to wonder if my of his initial supporters have learned their mistake.

I just wonder if they have figured that out yet.
