George Zimmerman's mother is Peruvian

According to his friend who was interviewed by Good Morning America, George's mother is Peruvian.

I still don't have any solid source for his father's ethnicity. I think that people are just making assumptions because the name sounds German or Jewish.

And it says here:

Zimmerman, one of four siblings, grew up in Manassas, Virginia. His father was a former military man who raised the children in a very strict, respectful household, a neighbour recalled.

His mother, Gladys Zimmerman, was a courts employee of Peruvian descent. The family worshipped at All Saints Catholic Church, where Zimmerman served as an altar boy, neighbours said.

Zimmerman’s father doesn’t sound very Jewish to me. But he could be a Catholic German.

Zimmerman’s father is also said to be a “retired Virginia Supreme Court magistrate judge.” I think this is a position that doesn’t necessarily require a law degree or any formal educational credentials, but nevertheless it sounds like a good white collar job. If Zimmerman's father does have a law degree, then George is kind of a disappointment to not even have a college degree.

Auster is now reporting that the 10 day suspension was for beating up a bus driver. AND, there's a more recent photo of him with extensive arm tatooing. Such an angel!

What color was the bus driver? Like hell if it doesn't make a difference because it totally does!!!

Due to his frightening encounter with a Sanford suspect, the mind of Zimm has been permanently damaged. He will spend the rest of his life fearing strangers and never go out on a dark rainy night.

Maybe he is innocent...
