You could be right. There's been so many calls played here I only remember a few.

The difference is Flukes is alive, but a 17 year old kid is dead.

Not a minor distinction.

I was wrong, according to the report, Martin approached Zimmerman from behind, he didn't attack him from behind. My mistake, I have tried to be accurate on what I've quoted. Note to self, don't trust memory.
'The Sentinel said Monday that authorities had provided the paper with Zimmerman's account of events, in which he said he called police after spotting Martin, then lost sight of him and was returning to his SUV when the teen allegedly approached him from the left rear and they exchanged words.
Zimmerman said Martin punched him in the nose, then as he fell to the ground, got on top of him and slammed his head into the sidewalk, causing Zimmerman to yell for help.'

That makes more sense if Trayvon kinda hid from Zimmerman and when Zimmerman passed Tayvon confronted him and words were exchanged.

To bad there are no witnesses to this portion of the event. As such no arrest was necessary.

The op is just like all the conservatives that have basicailly said its ok to kill blacks if they refuse to tell you why you are out walking. If this doesnt wake up black America to the threat our children and us face from the hate filled angry gun toting rw/tea party nothing will.

Police say Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose, had a fat lip and confirm that the back of his head was cut. He received first aid at the scene but refused to go to the hospital and received medical treatment the following day, according to the Sentinel's sources.

Zimmerman told police he he'd lost sight of Martin and was heading back to his car when the youth suddenly stepped into his path. According to the Sentinel, Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cellphone. Martin then said something like, "Well, you do now" and punched him, according to the Sentinel's sources.

Since when doesn't the media put an extreme spin on the facts?
The Duke Lacross team comes to mind.
In this case a boy was killed. We don't know the facts but the usual idiots are out beating the bushes and fanning the flames. What I always wonder is when Sharpton and company are proven to be full of it why are they never held accountable????

I think he had to go to the hospital first. The kid assualted him, just like he did a school bus driver a few days before.
The first thing anybody should do is get a lawyer, especially with the lynch mob out and about.
You know, because the kid was black.

No witnesses, in hiding for a month, how convenient.

Bring on the Grand Jury. Let them decide the next step.

I wish I knew how to copy & paste the actual report. He called 911 to report a skinny Black kid, approximately 7-9 years old walking alone toward a school on an unpatrolled street. So I guess he was concerned for his well being. I admit when I'm wrong.
