By the way, I am making no judgement about what happened, but the way the media is reporting this without getting facts straight is outrageous. I wonder if they are fanning the outrage to sell papers and make a profit.
Not neccessarliy. Look how many people are calling for his head. No the Police Chief stepped down. They may see the facts supporting his story but they also might feel so much pressure and worry about retaliation that they just might charge the guy.
None of what you posted is important; block watch boy started the entire thing and then shot somebody.
And by the way, they are showing a 4-5 year old picture constantly of the Martin boy when I hear he was a very athletic 6' 3" man at this point. That is interesting to me as well. Press seems to be fanning the flames to sell papers IMO.

it don't matter who is calling for his head....
If in fact there are witnesses that saw Trayvon Martin on top of Zimmerman punching him in the face, repeatedly...WHILE Zimmerman screamed for help???

Agreed. And honestly, ive heard people talking about this on the radio and what not and not once did I hear anything about what you posted and what was in that video. It is a shame that much of the media and big mouths are getting people riled up because they wont inform people of all the information.

Bottom line - he is going to walk...
Ok. If the witnesses back his story than it sure would be nice if the police held a conference and the media would inform everyone of the facts/info. I guarantee I wasnt the only one that wasnt aware of some of the things RCCB posted. Sure, some people wont give a damn but some will.
Once again, these details have been ignored or changed by the media.
1.The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.
2.The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.
3.Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head. He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.
4.Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin’s father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.
The neighborhood this took place in has seen a lot of crime. Would you be surprised to learn that there were eight burglaries, nine thefts, and a shooting just in the past year? In fact, the local homeowners’ association reports that George Zimmerman actually caught one thief and aided in the apprehension of other criminals. The Miami Herald wrote about this on March 17th.
And there is also this:
Quote:
We were in the kitchen, with the window open and the blinds pulled. So we had complete view from outside,” Cutcher explained.
Cooper asked her what was the first thing she saw.
“By that time, you hear like a shot — like some other noise,” Lamilla described.
“You heard the gunshot?” Cooper interjected.
“Yeah, I run away from my backyard and when I just get into the point of my — like my screen, it stopped me, I look at the person on his knees on top of a body,” Lamilla elaborated. RELATED: Lawrence O’Donnell On Zimmerman 911 Tape: ‘I Believe What We Have Here Is Evidence Of A Police Cover-Up’
“So you saw Mr. Zimmerman on top of Trayvon Martin?” Cooper questioned.
“Trayvon, exactly,” Lamilla said.
“When you say on top of, how so?” the CNN anchor pressed.
“Straddling him,” Cutcher replied.
“His legs were straddling him?” Cooper followed up.
“One on each side, on his knees, with his hands on his back. I immediately thought, okay, obviously if it’s the shooter, he would have ran,” Cutcher detailed. “I thought he’s holding the wound, helping the guy taking a pulse, making sure he’s okay. When she called to him three times, everything okay, what’s going on? Each time he looked back, didn’t say anything and then the third time he finally said, ‘just call the police.’

"Block watch boy" started what???
So wait...if "block watch boy" would have gotten his face beat in for following him because he was looking out for his community.....would he have deserved it????
He may have followed him but what he posted is not being talked about or mentioned much. It is important. Many make it seem like he confronted him briefly and just shot him. Something happened before that?
I dont think people need to be calling for anyone's head, as many of the media and race baiters are. Let's get all the facts out there. There is a reason the guy wasnt charged (yet) because at least to the prosecutor and police, Zimmerman's story may be accurate.
Now you have head racist Farrakhan calling for possible "retaliation". How about we dont jump to anymore conclusions until we know all the facts.
Too late. On the HBO's the Wire, a gangbanger once said something that was pretty profound...
"If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie"
You can't call off the dogs of war.
