The Florida state prosecutor interviewed a former work co-worker of George Zimmerman:

“So you described him as a bully?”

“Yes.”

Via Think Progress: (at about 4:15)

He repeatedly called the man a “fucking moron” and mocked him using the voice of “Achmed the terrorist.” Zimmerman’s stories about the man would involve “bombing,” “I’ll kill your family” and other “jokes” about “Middle Eastern stuff.” 

That went on “for days and days.”

He said he was referred to as “the fucking moron” because he was “the new guy.”

The co-worker went on to say that, more than racism, “I was an easy target for him. That was more important than anything else”… “to make himself look good.”

However, he was “extremely professional to your face… such a convincing guy” that the man actually started doubting himself after “all those weeks of being very upset.”

And a few months later, “they got rid of” Zimmerman; he was fired.

And to pick up on Paddy’s earlier rant, I’m getting tweets and comments from oddly gleeful Trayvon critics that amount to “A-ha! He smoked the evil weed so he’s no angel and deserved what he got!”

I smoked pot in college, and ended up graduating from UCLA cum laude. Trayvon Martin had traces of pot in his system, and he ends up getting blamed for his own murder.

Oh, and other than THC, Trayvon also had a bullet in his system.

He was stalked, despite warnings to Zimmerman to stop following him. He was unarmed. Pot is not exactly a substance that creates hostility and aggression. If you’re going to defend  Zimmerman, at least consider using a little rational thought and a modicum of logic.
