So can I get the no nonsense version of this trial or story. Because I'm not reading the MSM version of this story
Either you're very young or not American, but regardless of the origin of your disability, I'll fill you in. George Zimmerman was a man who lived in Florida, and was put on trial for murder after shooting and killing a 17 year old negro named Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman was a half-Hispanic man who was the local neighborhood watch coordinator. Trayvon Martin didn't live there, he was visiting family who did. Zimmerman, not knowing who this strange person was, decided that he was going to interrogate him as to who he was and what he was doing in the neighborhood. A physical confrontation ensued, and Zimmerman shot him in what he claimed was self-defense, which was probably true.
Despite a massive media push to demonize Zimmerman, and President Barack Obama weighing in on the case with the infamous remark, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon", the jury ultimately exonerated Zimmerman. Florida had recently passed a "stand your ground" law, and this was one of the first high-profile test cases of that law. Predictably, the Left lost their shit, and claimed, without any evidence, that Zimmerman was a white supremacist who went out looking for a negro to murder, and Trayvon was his victim.
Not that you should ever trust Wikipedia for anything, but Zimmerman himself is kind of a mixed bag, and despite their obvious bias, there is some good information to be found on his Wikipedia page:
