The "media" was glacial when it came to picking up this story. The first thread on this was at the very least 2-3 days before any of he national media picked up on the story and at least a day after the family's first public call for Zimmerman's arrest. Even the Orlando Sentinel (a Tribune owned paper) had little information on the shooting.
With all the race baiting I'm not sure it anyone has mentioned that the victim was on the phone with his girlfriend and she is saying Zimmerman was stalking the kid and he wanted to run out of fear. She advised him not to. She said as he walked quickly back to his dad's place she heard what sounded like him being thrown onto the ground. No conversation, just Zimmerman tackling him.... This was part of a CNN report 30 minutes ago.

That's a bit different from what I've read.
I've read that the girlfriend told him to run, but said he declined (probably out of pride; I can imagine my nephew doing this).
And then when Z caught up to him, Trayvon asked "Why are you following me?"
So there was dialogue before the physical altercation.

Yes it was pointed out earlier and just as quickly ignored in preference for the aforementioned race baiting.

This is why now it has taken a turn to stoking the flames....
In no way....NO WAY....should that girls account made rounds like it has..Considering the fact that the lawyer felt compelled to throw this bone.
How the HELL can she discern who was being thrown to the ground..????
Another thing... IF Martin said something to the effect "OK...Im not gonna run...Im gonna duck to the side and sneak him when he comes past this tree"
Dispatcher: "So, when you heard screaming, it was a male screaming?"
Caller: "Yes. And the guy on top had a white t-shirt."
Dispatcher: "What do you mean guy on top? Did you see a fight?"
Caller: "I don't know, I just looked out my window, and there was a guy on top wearing a white t-shirt."
Zimmerman: "A dark hoodie, grey hoodie, jeans or sweatpants or white shoes. He's walking around staring at the houses. Now he's just staring at me."
Caller:" I know. I can't believe somebody's killed. He was saying help. Why didn't someone come out and help him?"
