Please see this article. If this is true the nation media and others are guilty of grossly distorting the facts to create a victim.

Zimmerman was on the ground being punched when he shot Trayvon Martin - Charleston Charleston Conservative | Examiner.com

Trip to 7-ll for Skittles and Ice Tea at night...
 

Hmmm!....Poor choice in Orlando, doesn't matter what race you are!!...I'm just saying!

This works both ways. When George Zimmerman finally shows his face and gets his head blown off, the shooter can invoke the "stand your ground" law and save the state of Florida thousands of dollars. Just guessing this law is the reason Casey Anthony never goes out in public.

Doesn't matter. Zimmerman was told by 911 to leave it alone and let the police take care of it. At worst, he could have followrd Trayvon in his vehicle so the police could have talked to hm (Trayvon).

Zimmermon is akin to neighborhood watch. He did his job when he calld 911. From there on it a police problem.

Do you plan to collect the Black Panther reward? Your thinking is sick to say the least. IMHO

Thank you. Very good information that seems to have gotten swept under the rug.

Things Don't Add Up
 

After seeing one of the interviews with his dad, more questions come to mind. According to him, he did not know that Travon had been killed until the next morning when the police showed up at the door. He said that Zimmerman got to go home the night of the shooting while his son was taken to the morgue with a "John Doe" tag on his foot.

1. Didn't his dad live in that complex with his girlfriend and their son?

2. Hasn't it been reported that Trayvon was from Miami but in Sanford visiting his dad? Reports were that he went to the store for Skittles for his younger half-brother and a tea for himself which is all he had on him (and his cell phone) when he was killed.

3. How did his dad miss all the commotion and why was he not concerned when Trayvon didn't come back from the store?

4. Why did the younger one not complain when he didn't get his Skittles? If he was not too young, why didn't he go looking for Trayvon?

5. Was Trayvon the only one in the complex that Zimmerman didn't know? What about other visitors?

6. One of Zimmerman's friends said that Zimmerman didn't like confrontation and would never kill anyone. If that's true, why did he confront Trayvon and why did he carry a gun?

7. If the police didn't know who Trayvon was until the next day, why did they just take Zimmerman's word for it that the shooting was self-defense?

I heard they didn't identify him for three days while they had his cell phone the whole time. Didn't they hear the phone ringing or think to call the last number dialed? And these are the people responsible for investigating this crime.

I don't know the facts. I'm not the police. However, it does sound like there was no real investigation until the family demanded justice by going public and by asking for media help. I have seen interviews with people who lived in this complex (three white and one black). These four were unanimous in comments that the police either did not interview them at all or asked very perfunctory questions.

I don't like Sharpton or Farrakhan. They are both media hounds who really don't care about anything but their own publicity. Jesse Jackson at one time really did fight for juistice. Now, I'm not sure what his stance is. However, from what I have read and heard, there was no justice in this case. Hopefully, there will be in the near future.

As to the Sun not reporting much about this, not much I can say there. I do not consider the Sun a newspaper. It's a feel-good blurb that is a great marketing tool for the developer and fun for Villagers. Sanford is not in TV, so has little relevance to the developer. However, this is a story that has merited world-wide attention. To not have even one piece on the front page of a something purported to be a newspaper is, at best, pathetic. It really is bigger news than the age and make of someone's car.

Yes, I would like to be a fly on the wall at a Sun editorial meeting (if they have them) to hear the discussion about whether or not to report on the story, or run an AP feed article etc.

This article from a conservative newspaper looks like it is based on one witness statement.

Witness statements are often extremely unreliable.

I do hope more of the actual facts come out now rather than much later like in the Casey Anthony case where it seemed the defense did most of the gritty investigation.

:agree: On the surface it seems like a the boy was shot because of his color by someone who didn't see color. I like to wait till I hear both sides of the story before I decide as to who is right or wrong. It may of happened just as the media is saying but we really haven't heard from the shooter and I still like to believe that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. :spoken:

We have heard from the shooter
 

His 911 calls are available. We will never hear from the victim. Others need to speak for him.

it would do well for the masses to stop the reference to color. Other than the racist opportunists what value does it add? None!

Could you reach a decision solely based on what you have seen and heard and think you know thus far? Of course not. And as far as I am concerned the media is the last place to learn from since they have multiple agendas and the truth is not their priority....being first is their sole priority....and as in the past when (not if) they get it wrong they can always feign some other source that makes them clean (in their narrow minded view of the world anyway).

The problem with the media discovering they could be wrong is they don't have to be the ones to announce it. They may in fact stand pat until or unless it becomes public information from another source. Do I think they would sit on incriminating (either side) information. Absolutely yes and conditional upon whether it serves their agenda or not.

I hate to say it that way but that is what their very biased reporting performance has earned from me.

Where's the outrage with the FAMU hazing death?!! Recent revelations show that the President was well aware of the problem!
