- Pastor Terry Jones to host George Zimmerman rally in Sanford
3:32 p.m. EST, April 17, 2012|
By Jeff Weiner, Orlando Sentinel
Controversial Gainesville pastor Terry Jones plans to hold a rally in Sanford on Saturday in support of George Zimmerman, the man charged in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The rally is planned by Jones's "Stand Up America!" organization, which announced the event on its website under the heading "JUSTICE FOR ZIMMERMAN vs RACIST LYNCH MOB."
Jones' Dove World Outreach Center confirmed that he will come to Sanford this weekend to speak "in support of the Constitutional Rights for George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin."
Jones had previously announced his support for Zimmerman, who remains jailed in Seminole County on a second-degree murder charge in the Feb. 26 shooting of Martin in Sanford.
The rally is expected to begin at 1 p.m. outside the Criminal Justice Center on Bush Boulevard.
Jones drew international attention in 2010 when he announced plans to would burn 1,000 copies of the Quran, the central text of Islam, on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
He later staged the burning of Islam's holy book last year. That event was blamed for subsequent riots and the killings of at least seven United Nations workers in the Middle East.
Zimmerman has not acknowledged Jones' support. However, a photo on Zimmerman's website of a "JUSTICE FOR ZIMMERMAN" sign appears to be an image from a previous Jones rally.
The same photo accompanies a report by Jacksonville Fox affiliate WAWS, detailing a protest staged by University of Florida students last month, which Jones and his church attended.
According to the report, Jones and Dove World Outreach Center members traded chants in front of Gainesville City Hall with the protesters, who were calling for Zimmerman's arrest.
When it initially debuted, Zimmerman's website featured two images: The sign and a spray paint message on the side of a building that said "LONG LIVE ZIMMERMAN."
The second image appeared to show the graffiti that, according to local media reports, had been spray painted on the wall of a black cultural center at Ohio State University.
That image was later taken off the site. Zimmerman's former attorneys have confirmed the legitimacy of the website, TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com.
At the Gainesville protest, Jones told WAWS that he was there "to support George Zimmerman's constitutional rights to a fair trial."
"The man is innocent until proven guilty," Jones said. "He needs a fair trial." | |

Some ppl just don't get it that the whole near-riotous protests were because this killer was NOT arrested and brought to trial.
That's because they have to make it fit their agenda. The same way the local country radio station (that seems to assume all their listeners are right wing NRA bible thumpers) twisted the Nugent story to be about the head chopping metaphor. But they very conveniently left out the "dead or in jail" comment. So they made him the victim of what they called a "Braveheart reference". To get sympathy for an aggressor they have to become the victim. Crazy nutjob logic. Of course these are also the people who claim their dislike of President Obama is solely based on him being a "socialist" or "muslim" or "Kenyan"....or... When the truth doesn't work they just make it up. | |
