George Zimmerman is either ignorant or supports hate crimes, said some at Ohio State University who had seen or heard about his website yesterday.
They reached those conclusions because of a photo on his fundraising website of the words Long Live Zimmerman that were spray-painted on a wall of OSUs black cultural center on Thursday.
Its completely insensitive. Its downright cold, said Dieter Smiley, a 20-year-old industrial and systems engineering student at Ohio State. I dont know if he is ignorant or malicious, but there is no excuse for his actions either way.
