George Zimmerman: Black Lives Matter is a Group of ‘Terrorists’

“First of all, they're terrorists, it's not a movement."

Trouble and controversy seem to follow George Zimmerman wherever he goes since being acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin in 2012. Since then, he has had half a dozen encounters with the law, and is currently testifying in the trial of Matthew Apperson, who is charged with his attempted murder.

According to Mediaite, Zimmerman was questioned by a lawyer during the proceedings about the Black Lives Matter organization, which the lawyer repeatedly referred to as a movement. This aggravated Zimmerman. “First of all, they're terrorists, it's not a movement as you have said now. I see them as terrorists, if you'd like to address them correctly” Zimmerman responded. “I don't believe Black Lives Matter is a movement, sir. They're terrorist cowards."

When the lawyer pressed Zimmerman to acknowledge that the death of Trayvon Martin marked the beginning of the BLM movement, Zimmerman continued, "I don't know when they started."

The lawyer tried to get Zimmerman to admit that he associated Apperson with the BLM movement and that he disliked anyone associated with BLM. "No sir," Zimmerman denied, "and again, they're not a movement. As much as you try to give them credence, they're not a movement."

We like to be fair and balanced at TruthRevolt, so we characterize Black Lives Matter as a terrorist movement.
