Has the police person who supposedly spoke with Zimmerman after the rescue come forward? The rescued family refuses to come forward.

I bought this story, but now I wonder. What do you think?
I think anyone who reads Salon is 5 beers short of a 6-pack.

Why on earth should anyone 'come forward'? Life isn't all about being an attention ho.

OK, I heard the recording of this myself. The dispatcher told Zimmerman that he didn't need to be doing that--meaning following the "suspect." I heard the exchange and I've never forgotten it. It was played on a news channel shortly after the incident became national news.

Yes. Which I guess is why he was caught speeding across TX with a gun in his car. He was sent off with a warning. I watched the dashcam tape of it today.

I do think if he keeps his nose clean, and lives a quiet life, he can expect a normal life expectancy.

I think if he keeps his nose clean, and lives a quiet life, he has a chance for a normal life. However, I don't know if he is able to do that. I mean, after being told not to follow Trayvon, he followed him. Bad judgement, and look where it led.
Bad judgment is going to lead to him being dealt a fatal blow. He made the wrong move whne he got out of the car, setting off a chain of events which I believe will be his undoing. No mention of blacks in my comment.
