Zimmerman’s Friend Now Say Trayvon Was Racially Profiled

Back in the day when George Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon Martin and murdered him in the backyard of a Florida neighborhood, Frank Taaffe was George’s biggest fan and supporter. Taaffe even went on many cable shows to defend his “friend” and neighbor.

But time and Taaffe have changed.

“What I know of George and his tendencies and also my opinion is that he racially profiled Trayvon Martin that night because if that had been a white kid on a cell phone, walking through our neighborhood, he wouldn’t have stayed on him the way he did and that’s a fact and I believe that in my heart,” said Taaffe.

This is very different from what Taaffe told News 13 numerous times after the shooting, including during an interview back in May 2012 when he said, “That George Zimmerman in a position in a volunteer role wanted to ensure the safety of the community he lived in and he became the victim.”

But today, Taaffe claims he just wants to clear his conscience, “I can only ask for the country to forgive me and today I believe that he racially profiled him based on the color of his skin. Reporter: Some people may wonder what does Frank Taaffe have to gain by doing this? Are you working on a book? No book. A TV show? No. I’m just working on me right now and getting right with God.”

Taaffe says his brother’s death last month and the death of his two sons over the past two years has changed him.

Zimmerman’s Friend Talks about Zimmerman’s Guns – “Boys Will Have Their Toys”

He went on CNN’s Piers Morgan and began the interview actually sounding smart, talking about the “post traumatic stress disorder” he thinks George Zimmerman is going through after he killed Trayvon Martin. Then Piers Morgan asked the question to Zimmerman’s former neighbor and Watch Block Captain Frank Taaffe, – if George Zimmerman suffers from PTSD, then why is he surrounding himself with all these guns?

Mr. Taaffe put aside his psychology hat and put on his dunce cap instead. He answered, “”Well, boys will have their toys, as they say.”

And that was essentially the end of the interview. Apparently Mr. Taaffe didn’t do his homework before agreeing to the interview with Piers Morgan. He apparently didn’t know that guests siding with murders and guns and showing no respect to the victims and their families, usually end in a shouting match with the CNN host.

Needless to say, Piers stayed true to from.
