You can just picture the conversation when the intern found the story.
"Hey boss, a black teen has been shot by an adult male pleading self-defense"
"So?"
"The man who shot him wasn't black."
"He was white? We've got ourselves a story!"
"Well he wasn't white either, he identifies himself as Hispanic"
"White Hispanic works for me, go have Frank edit the 911 call to make him seem like a racist. Everyone loves a racist story."

Agreed. As usual, it was the media picking on the downtrodden white man, and when he didn't turn out to be lily-white, they persecuted him as though he was. This is the modern world, people.
Anyway, I see Zimmerman feels it was all part of "God's plan" that it turned out this way. Seems kind of strange to me that God's plan was for this little moron to get his ass kicked by a teenager and then shoot him in the chest, but they do say he works in mysterious ways.
I'm sure the people of Florida feel safer tonight, knowing that God has sent angels like George Zimmerman to protect them.
