This muddies up the water. It is a side issue that should have never happened. NBC could have tried to get evidence on the other calls, Zimmerman made. My understanding is he called 911 on seven other black males. Clearly he (Zimmerman) has a problem with being a racist. NBC did more to make to throw gas on the flames rather than light on the subject. I am glad this produce got fired.
