This news piece came out before zimmerman was identified by name as the shooter...the eyewitness interview starts at the 22 second mark...
http://uservideos.smashits.com/video...dia-twist.html
this might be why the self-defense claim was believed by the prosecuter and the police...
Zimmerman's father wrote a letter to the Sun Sentinel that insists that his son is neither a racist nor guilty of being the aggressor in the deadly encounter. The statement was
published in full on the newspaper's website. It reads in part:
"George is a Spanish speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever.... The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth."
The statement goes on to suggest that the public should be outraged over the "extremely misleading" portrayal of Zimmerman, and hinted that there are key facts that have yet to be made public.
"The events of February 26 reported in the media are also totally inaccurate. Out of respect for the on-going investigation, I will not discuss specifics. However, the media reports of the events are imaginary at best. At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event become public, and I hope that will be soon, everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media."
Zimmerman isn't a policeman, and isn't registered with any formal neighborhood watch organization. He has no uniform to wear, who knows?, and no - he has no authority to mark his vehicle with.
How many times have you called 911 in the last 11 years?
I have called - rather my family - three times in 15.
And I did not live in a gated community, rather a low end part of town....
Sooooooooo
40 calls to 911, not living in a war zone...to me it sounds excessive.

If the 40 in 11 is correct thats really not that many
I wish our neighborhood watch folks would only call 3 to 4 times a year. I know a few that make that many calls a day.

LOL, yeah, tell me about it. Some night, I should keep track of all the 911 calls that come in, to see how many are actually legit 911 calls, or just people that're too damn lazy to dial the routine line, calling in with non emergency stuff.
Still not looking at the video of the witness who saw the actual fight, not what zimmerman said on the phone. The father said that the person who was yelling for help was not his son. The witness who actually saw the fight said zimmerman yelled to him for help. The word "chase" is being used quite often in reporting zimmerman getting out of his car. How about followed in order to tell the police where the teenager went.
One sunday on the way to church we saw a drunk driver weaving down the road. We called 911 and followed the guy all the way to the next town, telling the 911 operator the names of the streets, and the direction we were travelling. We eventually followed the guy to an apartment complex and saw him park. We didn't get out of the car, but we did see the squad that was looking for us. We flagged him down, pointed out the car and then went to church.
Zimmerman on the tape says something to the effect that "they always get away..." my take is that when the police are called, by the time they arrive, the individual has usually left the area. He got out of the truck to keep an eye on where the teenager went because the teenager had entered the in between area of the townhouse/condo development, which everyone can see if they watch the video of the interview with the actual witness. He probably followed the kid simply to be able to tell the cops where the kid went. Then the kid turned on him and the struggle ensued.
Do you guys actually think he got out of the car to chase down this kid and execute him in cold blood? That is what is being implied in all the media coverage.
By the way, there was a claim on another site that says NPR mentioned the teen was truant at his high school. Yeah, I know, a lot of teenagers are, my point is there is still little known about the teenager.
1 arrest 6 years ago and a speeding ticket 5 years ago makes him guilty?
LOL. 'No Mildret, you neighbor can open his drapes to his messy house'
But still...that's a lot of calls.
