“You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall??


That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.” — from a letter to Turner Clayton of the Seminole County NAACP written by “a concerned Zimmerman family member”

Just so everyone knows, this doesn't mean he isn't racist, doesn't mean he didn't kill this other kid, and doesn't mean he shouldn't be treated the way he is currently by the public in general. What it does mean is only what is contained within the article assuming it is true.

innocent till proven guilty, so the public treating him as anything but innocent till proven guilty is wrong.

fair enough, this still shouldn't be used as a detractor like it is though IMO.

The only thing I can find that links Zimmerman to the Sherman Ware case is this letter, written by an anonymous "family member" who sent it to the "media," but only a handful of disreputable "news" sources such as the Daily Caller have carried this story. Even Fox News has not.

I'm afraid that even if this is actually pertinent, it needs more corroboration.

You'd think there would be a police report with his heroic efforts.

For real. I'd like to see the flyer that is referenced.

Zimmerman also invented the question mark. True story.
