For the amusement of co-workers, Zimmerman repeatedly teased the witness, who is Middle Eastern, about his race, calling him “Achmed the terrorist” and making other remarks connected to bombs, terrorism and murder, as well as repeatedly calling him a “fucking moron.”
“I tried to ignore it. It was like, middle school, high school humor, but he was going on and on and on for days and days,” the witness said during the 15-minute interview. He testified that Zimmerman singled him out because he was “an easy target” because of his race and because of Zimmerman’s eagerness to fit in with the other workers.

"Achmed the Terrorist?" This is what this dude thinks is funny?
Since we're now picking apart Trayvon Martin's autopsy info, whether he had injuries on his knuckles that matched the injuries to Zimmerman's nose, whether he had THC in his system - (which shouldn't be a surprise since he was suspended for having has traces of marijuana) - then it makes sense we should be able to take a close detailed look at just who George Zimmerman was too. And it seems he was person who thought it was "funny" to racially pick on someone vulnerable just to fit in and make yourself feel better. What a charmer.
Let's of course add this to the fact that George essentially lied to the court during his bail hearing making it seem as though he was functionally indigent, when in fact he was sitting on about $200,000 worth of donations through his website.
The prosecution in the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman asked a Florida judge Friday to raise Zimmerman's bond in light of recent revelations that a website for his defense raised more than $200,000.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said he wants to know more about the money before he decides whether to adjust the bond. The judge said he will make a decision at a later date.
Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara revealed Thursday night that his client's website had raised about $204,000 in donations, adding that the money has been placed in an account that can't be accessed directly by Zimmerman or his family.
So there's that. Then there's what happened after his victim wrote to complain about his treatment. Zimmerman apparently charmed them all, just like he charmed the court. Just like he tried to charm Sanford PD.
He presented into evidence a letter he wrote to the company’s human resources department informing them of Zimmerman’s conduct and asking them to address the issue. Zimmerman, however, was so persuasive and ingenuous in his testimony to the committee that he fooled not only the committee, but the witness said that even began to doubt himself. The inquiry was closed and the teasing and humiliation reportedly went on exactly as before.
So this guy is very
slick when he gets caught in his bullying. He changes the subject, he finds excuses. He
shifts the blame, and takes no responsibility for his actions.
Let's also add, for full context and perspective the fact that just three years before complaints were filed against George in this job - from which he was eventually fired - he had been previously fired from his Security Guard job, because he'd had a tendency to "SNAP".
“He had a temper and he became a liability,” he recalled. “One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted. … It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out.”
That was also the same year that he was arrested for battery of an undercover officer.
In 2005, the same year that Zimmerman lost his security guard job, he was also arrested for “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer,” both third-degree felonies. Those charges were dropped after he agreed to enter an alcohol education program.
This doesn't make George Zimmerman "Evil". Clearly his family loved him. Well, except for his ex-fiance that is. And from many corners he's been described as a "Cool Guy".
But if you take all of this together, what you see isn't just one little isolated incident where George made an honest mistake and things escalated out of his control. He ignored the instructions of the 911 dispatch, got out of his car, went looking for Trayvon and when he found him got into a fight. It doesn't matter who started it, but his past history shows that Zimmerman - not Trayvon - had a tendency to Racially bait, profile, harrass and attack people without just cause and outside of reasonable proportionality.
I'm sure there will be more revelations in this story, and much more of this will be addressed and assessed in court. It may be difficult to get a conviction in this case because Trayvon was clearly a scary hooded black kid with marijuana in his system, skittles in his pocket and scratches on his knuckles - but let's remember one thing.
Trayvon didn't put a bullet in his own chest. Someone else did that.
