WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

George Zimmerman's attorney appeared on the Anderson Cooper show today and announced that his client has acquired $204,000.00 in donations through his web site in support of his defense. The web site was set up by Zimmerman 14 days ago and included a PayPal button where supporters could donate towards his defense and living expenses while awaiting trial. O'Mara is back peddling and claiming to know nothing about the funds until today. If you have been following the case, O'Mara represented to the Court at Zimmerman's bail hearing through testimony of Zimmerman's mother, father and wife, that Zimmerman was indigent and could not afford a high bail. When questioned about the website account at the hearing, it seems the only one with information was Zimmerman's brother, who was conveniently not present and O'Mara claimed to be ignorant as well. I ask you - when has an attorney ever forgot to inquire about a little thing such as MONEY?

How is the Martin family going to feel about this? Moreover, the elephant in the room is how is the black community going to look at this? How can anyone possibly look the black community in the eye and convince them that this isn't about racism and expect them to believe that?

A teenage boy is shot down while walking home for nothing more than looking suspicious to a wanna-be-cop and the citizens of the US donate $200k in 14 days during the worst economic times since the depression in order to defend the creep that pulled the trigger? This is an outrage. Something is wrong with our country. I don't care if these donators through ignorance think that by defending GZ they are somehow going to protect their gun rights or save the SYG law -- That's not what it looks like to the black community. If anything, this donation of funds to defend a murderer will set the civil rights movement back 30 years. The best thing GZ could do is donate the money to the civil rights movement because when and if he is ever set free, he will never be able to walk the streets again. But that is the least of my concerns, I feel for the Martins and the black community as a whole on how this looks. In fact, I am disgusted.
