Oh, you’re sorry now?
DETAILS: George Zimmerman’s Attorney Responds To Robert Zimmerman’s Racist Tweet
Robert Zimmerman Jr. is publicly apologizing for sending out a controversial tweet about slain teenager, Trayvon Martin.
On the Piers Morgan show, the brother of the man who shot Trayvon said the tweets comparing Trayvon with another 17-year-old boy who is being charged for murdering a 13-month-old weren’t exactly the “right things to do.”
“I realize those were controversial and offensive and I did publicly apologize for them,” he said. “I’m a human being. I’m being upfront about what I did. I made a mistake … Unfortunately (it) may not have helped George.”
He claimed that his comparison wasn’t to vilify black teenagers, but to make a point to the media about their “honesty in portraying the person who encountered my brother.”
“We’ve been led to believe that it’s a junior-high-school-aged person because of the pictures,” he said, referring to Martin.
“The analogy is these are two people who chose to represent themselves in this way. One was accused of killing a baby, and whatever’s in his social media makes the rounds immediately … However, the other person who almost killed my brother had he disarmed him — my brother had every indication to believe he would have killed him — his social media is off limits.”
WHOA! You can’t follow up an apology with that, it doesn’t seem sincere at all!
