Sean Hannity has landed the first interview with George Zimmerman in an hour-long exclusive set to air Wednesday night.
According to TVNewser, which first reported on the interview, Zimmerman will discuss what happened the night of Trayvon Martin’s shooting death. Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara “will also participate in the interview and will address rumors circulating about bail donations and hidden money.”
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the unarmed Florida teen’s death, but has maintained he shot Martin in self-defense. He is currently out of jail on bond.
The interview will air on Fox News’ “Hannity” at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 4:09pmThis will be a coddle session not an interview.
Sean: Gee George your life must be really hard now.
George: It sure is Sean but if people send me more money it should get easier.
Sean: Some people are calling you a racist and we know that can’t be true so why are you here?
George: Well instead of doing the smart thing and wait for the trail I’m going on TV because my idiot lawyer says i need to repeat my story over and over so nobody can find any holes in it.
Sean: So how can rubes and hayseeds send you money?
George: Send it to my father because I’ll just try to hide it from the court. And if by some chance I get off I’m fleeing the country with all their cash.
And, scene.

If Zimmerman gets a fair jury, he’ll be exonoerated as he should be, then, afterwards, I hope the brothers show up protesting at your house and skewer your worthless ass to a tree in the yard..

As to your point that I hate Christians nothing could be further from the truth. My parents are Christians and I have quite an affinity for them. I find it amusing that when I say I’m atheist Christians say I hate them but when someone tells me they are Christian I say “OK”.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 3:04pmConsidering how no one really will let this play out by the courts i might as well say what i believe. Zimmerman is innocent!
I think Trayvon attacked Zimmerman simply because he didn’t like being told what to do. Neighborhood watch was put in place for a reason, to keep the peace, Zimmerman went to check out Trayvon who was just standing around and Trayvon turned on him. That what I believe happened.
Yet the media has spent every waking hour to convince America otherwise. Event the Gov’t has done the same.
I take no pleasure in saying this, but the black community is the most racist in the country. Everything they see has racism painted on it. The image we see when we hear of the black community almost always conjures images of violent gangs because that’s just the stereotype they created for themselves. Consider the rap music for instance it just a bunch gangster BS glorifying ghetto life and violence and most kids(kids of all races) listen to it religiously. And they follow every detail and we see groups of them talking about drugs and shooting cops it isn’t a pretty sight. When they actually follow through and it costs them their lives, (especially if it was a white person who killed them) they scream that the killer was racist. I say bull****!!
I’ve just about enough of the race card! i just might start playing it myself, just to prove a point! Enough is enough! Racism is dead and if you can’t deal with it, then you deserve to treated like an inferio

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 3:32pm@NAT1138 Correct that is where his whole story breaks down. He followed, confronted (despite your referenced direction) and then shot a KID. Bottom line is you can’t claim stand your ground for a conflict you initiate. What about the notion that Trayvon was standing his ground. Let’s remember who followed, approached and confronted who. So I guess Trayvon could have used stand your ground if he had killed Zimmerman.

“Why was Zimmerman in a position where he even COULD be attacked?
“Dispatcher: “Are you following him?”
Zimmerman: “Yeah.”
Dispatcher: “We don’t need you to do that.”
He said, “o.k.” He quit following, went back to his vehicle and was blind sided by a sucker punch from the black criminal, afterwhich he was beaten in the face and has his head slammed into the sidewalk.
Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch captain. Because of numerous break-ins, his job was to watch out for suspicious activity.
He said theperp was acting strange, “as if he were on drugs.”
What would you have him do, numnutz, ignore the obvious threat? And how in the hell can you watch someone who is acting suspicious if he’s allowed to get out of sight?
A neighborhod watch captain’s job is to look out for possible perps.

However, this forum isn‘t a court of law and if anyone wants to push forward the notion that he’s guilty of murder here can do so. I don‘t think he’s guilty of murder…he’s guilty of being a stupid wanna-be cop who didn’t even need to get out of his car that night. Over time I’ve learned to NEVER trust a cop; and absolutely do not trust a wanna-be. You may want to call me a liberal pig, so in advance FLICK YOU!!!

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 2:36pmGuilty or not, Mr. Zimmerman is NOT getting a fair shake… EVERYONE knows it, and no one is doing anything to stop it because its good ratings…
Race baiting is one of the big money makers for ALL media outlets… Mr. Zimmerman has been falsely called a “white guy” by most media outlets, when Mr. Zimmerman is actually a latino..
But Brown on Black crime (or vice-versa in Travon’s case, since I am willing to bet Travon started it..) doesn’t play as well in the ratings than White on Black crime…
Either way, Mr. Zimmerman has been charged as a racist murderer or a black youth (true or not) and Black extremists will hunt this man to the ends of the earth for defending himself…
He didn’t need injuries to justify what he did to that little thug… In many states, all you have to do is fear for your personal safety (and a reason to feel that way) to justify defending yourself… Travon attacked Mr. Zimmerman and the moment he took a swing at Mr. Zimmerman, from that moment on Mr. Zimmerman was within his right to defend himself even with fatal consequences…
Racist or not (I doubt he is) doesn’t matter… When you are attacked, you CAN defend yourself..

Do you really think that he was not getting out of his car to observe a suspicious and unknown in his neighborhood? He had every right to do this or the community watch should not have been formed. Only a thief or robber would want vulnerable neighborhoods. Well here is a news flash: Just because that is what you want if you are up to no good, and you usually are by your track record, the you will be observed and dealt with. No one is going to cause any American who is able to back down and allow themselves to be intimidated, robbed or worse. Got it.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 2:00pmYou people claiming that crap, give me a break. I can remember when I was about 6, some neighbor kids wanted to play doctor in a tent set up in the shade by their house. I had NO idea what playing Dr. was. But at 6 I didn’t like the direction it was going, as I remember the boy was pretty graphic with his sister and it went against what my Mom always told us, so my sister and I went home. Never did play Dr.,
But, I think this is probably what a 6 & 8 year old might have done and I doubt Zimmerman knew anything, but was curious. Geeze…………he was a curious child.
