Total nonsense.

I'd be surprised that "most people" hate George Zimmerman. "Most people" probably haven't put that much thought into it. More accurately what should be said, is of those who hate GZ, most do so because of his Hispanic descent.

Personally I don't know why anyone would waste time on hating him. It's not like it's going to get them anything.

I think it's mainly about some sense of pride being part of social justice.

"Of course I'm a good person, I hate Zimmerman."

...And what does that have to do with my question?

Indeed.

I think he was hated more when it was believed that he was a White man who had shot a Black boy. The "Hispanic" thing threw water on that fire.

I had not seen this photo before. It is interesting because it contradicts the popular media's portrait of TM as a skinny little kid.
If George Zimmerman's verdict was "correct" then so was OJ Simpson's, right?

He's an advertisement for NOT having speedy trials. Had some of his behavior patterns been widely known, I have no doubt he wouldn't be free today.
