Brother of George Zimmerman unleashes racially charged Twitter rant

The whole family is fucking racist.

Where are the Zimmerman defenders?

Robert Zimmerman Jr. courted controversy after comparing Martin with Georgia teen De’Marquise Elkins, who is accused of fatally shooting a baby last week in a botched robbery. Both Martin and Elkins are black. Zimmerman tweeted that people might think ‘blacks mightB risky.’

George Zimmerman’s brother launched a shocking, racially charged Twitter rant that won’t do the accused murderer any favors.

Older brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. posted a series of tweets Sunday condemning the media and sounding off on race.

But his tweets have ignited a firestorm after he posted a picture comparing Florida teen Trayvon Martin, whom George Zimmerman is charged with murdering in February 2012, with Georgia teen De’Marquise Elkins, one of two accused of fatally shooting a baby and injuring his mother last week in a botched robbery.

So a black teenager is recently accused of killing a baby, therefore it was right for George Zimmerman to follow, stalk and shoot Trayvon Martin who was doing nothing more than walking home while carrying skittles and iced tea?

What about when Adam Lanza killed 20 kids at an elementary school? Does that mean all white people are killers?
