Are you sure it didn't have anything to do with the fact that the shooter said, "F**king c**ns" while on the phone with 911 dispatch and the dispatcher didn't say anything or warn him or ... anything at all regarding the racial epithet?
Cuz I think that might be part of the "it's a race issue" problem. When racists get involved, it's pretty hard to NOT call it a race crime. *just sayin'*
why would they its not a dispatchers job to correct people id bet never even herd it a dispatcher is trying to do 20 things at once and im sure they were not listening to every word zimmerman whispered to himself.
Besides if sanford is anything like here they have heard way way worse.
No, it's not a dispatcher's job to correct people and I do realize they are multi-tasking during the calls ... I wonder, however, if people think that the slur was ignored on purpose? Again, just suggesting here.
...come to grips that in America it is not fun or safe to be black with good reason ...
The latest version of the story ive seen so far was martin was beating zimmermams head against the sidewalk. If thats true i think deadly force is ok. If im attacked knocked down and having my head bashed on the side walk im going to shoot too. Another version ive seen was Martin was trying to take the gun away from zimmerman which to me again would make deadly force justified. But again i say that in the same light as above these are just reports from the news so who knows of they are real or not
Ok, makes sense. So, in this case, I'd say a punch to the nose, would at the most, warrant the same, whereas being knocked to the ground, and having your head slammed, shooting the guy, picking up an object and using it as an improvised weapon, etc, would be.
A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.
Of course, with paramedics on site, he could have gotten some medical attention and clean up before he was brought in, and those police officers seem pretty sympathetic, but it's still a little suspicious.
Maybe so, but not seeking medical attention that night (the police said his injuries were not serious) is hardly consistent with a broken nose and a head being "slammed over and over" into the concrete.
His story has changed 3-4 times now. It's, uh, odd that so many are willing to accept the latest version uncritically.
The funeral director who handled Martin's funeral said there were no cuts or bruises on the teen's hands that would suggest a violent struggle or fight.
“I didn’t see any evidence he had been fighting anybody,” Richard Kurtz of Roy Mizell and Kurtz Funeral Home in Fort Lauderdale, told television talk show host Nancy Grace.
Also, if Zimmerman shot Martin as he claimed in the heat of a struggle from point blank range while Martin was on top of him...Zimmerman should be covered in blood. Martin's blood.
None of this means that Zimmerman must be definitively guilty. But for anyone to claim with a straight face that "the evidence" mostly supports Zimmerman's account (which one?) is laughable. There are many holes in Zimmerman's story and many pieces of countervailing evidence. Yet all we hear are desperate attempts to change the subject (Trayvon was a thug! Race war! Sharpton!) or uncritical acceptance of the shooter's story. Laughable.
Of course, with paramedics on site, he could have gotten some medical attention and clean up before he was brought in, and those police officers seem pretty sympathetic, but it's still a little suspicious.

wheres the Ralley? Where's the Protest? Better yet, lets have the KKK go ralley in this 13 year olds defense and see who's wrong.
HYPOCRISY
I think that many people would tend to expect that the most recent information from the authorities and media would tend to be more accurate as the details come together than the immediate media reports that were accepted eagerly and uncritically by so many. Not sure what is so "uh, odd" about such an expectation.
It's not the lack of blood on his face that's suspicious to me. As you said, paramedics could have cleaned him up. But the lack of blood on his clothing is. A broken nose is going to bleed. And at least some of it is going to land on your shirt.
are you white what city you from .... However I do recomend Oxi Clean to keep your white sheet clean but my personal tast is for the red sating grand Dragon esamble with the high heels to match
Because the reports do not build on each other, adding detail to generate a coherent narrative. Each of Zimmerman's stories is flatly contradictory to the others. In other circumstances, that would be considered the mark of a liar.
