    Sources to WFTV: George Zimmerman could be arrested this week

    SANFORD, Fla. —

    Two sources told WFTV on Monday that gunman George Zimmerman could be arrested this week, and that a Grand Jury will not meet on Tuesday.

    Zimmerman has been in hiding because of threats, after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He claims he shot Martin in self-defense.

    Meanwhile, lawyers for gunman George Zimmerman said if he is not charged by a Grand Jury, he will speak out

    A ‘Hu-Manifesto’ for a Post-Trayvon World

    Our world may not be postracial, but five guidelines will help us confront our hang-ups with honesty.

    The Trayvon Martin case has revealed as fallacies the memes of a “postracial” America and “post-black” identity. But that doesn’t excuse the ridiculous amount of puffery and ego-tripping, as well as harmful stereotyping and merciless marketing, done in the name of justice for Trayvon — and done in defense of the man who killed him and of the law that so far has left Trayvon’s death unprosecuted.

    As the Trayvon Martin case has become the Trayvon media circus, the signal-to-noise ratio in our national conversation has degraded. But we can turn things around, in large part by managing our own fears and expectations.

    Let me take you back a couple of decades. I was new to New York, and a friend and I were sitting in an outdoor café in a rapidly gentrifying but still edgy neighborhood. A black (to my eyes) waiter was wearing one of those shirts that read:

      NO SHIT! The killer & his family are on some pity party tour trying to drum up sympathy for the murderer while defaming Trayvon Martin’s character and labeling him the criminal.

      TRAYVON MARTIN IS DEAD. HE WAS MURDERED, 43 DAYS HAVE PASSED, AND GEORGE ZIMMERMAN THE HATEFUL BIGOTED MURDERER ROAMS FREE.

      WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      BREAKING
      State Attorney Angela Corey, appointed as a special prosecutor in the February shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, has decided against sending the case to a grand jury, her office said Monday.

      “The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case,” Corey’s office said in a statement.

      “At this time, the investigation continues and there will be no further comment from this office,” the statement said.
