Quick Hit: Zimmerman launches website with photos of vandalized cultural center

The website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com is set up to accept donations, in lieu of other sites that purport to be raising money for him. But it’s being reported that this one is legitimately his. It says:

“I am the real George Zimmerman,

The fact that George Zimmerman — a 28-year old unregistered community watch member, who followed Martin from his SUV and was armed with an automatic weapon, and had a criminal record and a penchant for reporting young black men as “suspicious” — claimed self-defense is ridiculous. And the fact that law enforcement accepted Zimmerman’s tale and has allowed him to walk free is a miscarriage of justice and a threat to public safety.
