George Zimmerman Sets Up Website For Donations

George Zimmerman is crying for help, and at the same time trying to appear as though he has some sort of altruistic goal by setting up a new website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com.

In a three-paragraph intro on the homepage, the neighborhood watch captain explains why he set up the site, and just in case you don’t see the yellow donate button at the bottom, reminds his supporters that he could use some cash. It reads:

On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website’s sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.

It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my “Defense Fund” or “Legal Fund”. I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.

I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.

The website also has a page labeled, “The Facts,” on which Zimmerman assures supporters the real details of the Trayvon Martin case will come to light. Plus there’s a “My Race,” page on which he attempts to kick up American patriotism, on top of the flag of the United States in the background, with these quotes:

“The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” – Thomas Paine

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke (sic)

MSNBC received confirmation from Zimmerman’s lawyers that the site is legit, I just hope they report how much money he receives. I’d like to know just how many people support this man.

    What does he need a defense fund for?  He hasn’t even needed a lawyer because he’s still a free man who hasn’t been arrested and formally charged.  

    Absolutely disgusting!  No remorse, and now trying to leech off the murder he committed.

  • Fannietmk

    i went to the web site he is just posting a bunch of stuff other great men have said and made him self the victim in this. how do you justify being the victim when an unarmed CHILD is in a grave….

  • Mocha_687

    What an arrogant pig. And what a sad state our nation is in when a murderer is off the hook, scot free. I’m not for the whole “eye-for-an-eye” treatment, but I really wish someone would just bust a cap and end his life for good. Shame on his family and friends for raising and defending this sorry excuse for a man.

    Oh woooooowwwwww what a coincidence!!! Trayvon Martin ALSO HAS been forced to leave his home, his school, his employer, his family and ultimately, his entire life as well!!! what a coincidence!!!… 

    • Fannietmk

      yep and travon can’t set up a “poor me” website!

  • Lialia

    Pisses me off to no end!! Why the hell is he STILL not in jail??? This is just sickening!

  • A.J.

    The gall of this man actually trying to make himself seem like a victim.  Nothing that he’s “suffered” is equal to the loss of Trayvon’s life.  They should definitely keep track of the identitities of those who support this ridiculous site, so everyone can see who they are.  My God.

    Lil Boosie could use one of these donation sites… 

    But doesn’t this case remind you of the OJ trial (the murder case that is, not any others) ?  Where the case is in front of a national audience,  sides are polarized, there appears to be a mountain of evidence against the defendant (or at least until Zimmerman is arrested), not to mention a racial undertone even though our pro Zimmerman friends will point out race isn’t an issue until NBC made it an issue.  

    I hope justice is served.  As I understand it, the defend your ground law is revoked if you provoke the attack on yourself.  Zimmerman went against express orders given by 9-1-1 dispatch and has admitted to shooting Martin, I feel this is sufficient for a conviction.  But then again, we are talking about a Florida court system that let Casey Anthony walk, so we’ll see.

      U rite she murdered her own baby and got away with it!

    Only in America kill a black kid, you won’t go to prison and set up a website to collect funds for your living expenses and legal fees cos you can’t maintain employment WTF? it this some kind of joke? I mean are you effing kidding? This child needs to be locked up I’m sorry if I meet this kid on the street I’ll bust a cap on his fatass I swear. Uggghhhhhhhhh this just ruined my day I hope people haven’t forgotten  Trayvon cos that’ll be just the beginning of eliminating the black race in America if it hasn’t already started
