The lefties just can’t hep’ it...they ALWAYS overreach.

Mounting evidence has begun to disprove the assertions of George Zimmerman in his version of what happened when he fired a hand gun into the chest of Trayvon Martin. The shot mortally wounded Martin and speculation abounds over the reason why Zimmerman would shoot an unarmed black teenager.

Gee, it seems to me that mounting evidence has begun to buttress the assertions of George Zimmerman and to undermine the crazy speculations that abounded. Notice that even this author is saying that Trayvon was shot in the chest, not in the back or the back of the head as some folks wildly surmised.

One thing that shows this is the fact that after all that has come out with witnesses and physical evidence supporting Zimmerman's account of the moments before the shooting, major magazine publications continue to run a four year old picture of Trayvon. Question: why? Answer: because a school picture of a sweet looking 13 year old will sell more copies than a tattooed 17 year old flipping the bird.

Go to 4:50 of this video, that’s what Martin could have been doing to Zimmerman during the fight.
It would be reasonable to fear for your life under that situation...

interesting...last week race hustler jesse jackson claimed martin was shot in the back of the head...

That’s true about the left’s overreach. obama has now opened himself up for legitimate criticism when he doesn’t publicly weigh in on any black on white crime. Every black criminal “could be obama’s son” since he based the potential paternity on skin color.

I was on a plane with “Dick” a few years back, he sat across the aisle from me and a coworker in the first class cabin, my buddy can’t stand him, remember when he was going on hunger strikes to attempt to get his way, well after about 10 minutes of flying, having heard enough of his spew, my friend asked him if he could justify being in first class being a communist racist? a good question, obviously to provoke a reaction, “Dick” squirmed a bit and did not answer, then the whole cabin started giving him Cr%$, the guy next to him said, come on leave him alone , he was on a hunger strike for a week to get this seat...it was brutal, but very funny..

I just read an article where Zimmermans neighbor said his face is all swollen.

http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/neighbor-defends-george-zimmerman-03302012

I got into a fight about 20 years ago here in New York city, the liberal sphincter hole of the east coast, where 2 liberals didn’t like my conservative bumper stickers on my car, like Vote for Bush and 2nd Amendment stickers, and they sucker-punched me through my open drivers side window while I sat in my car (because that’s how liberals fight) and they broke my nose.

At first my nose bled like a sonofabitch, would not stop. Then I went to the hospital and they X-rayed it and confirmed it was busted but said the best thing was to leave it as the bones would heal on their own.

Well after the bleeding stopped (by putting cotton balls up my nostrils) all that remained was my nose was a little swollen and red.

But the next day? Holy cow! My eyes swelled so much I could barely see out of them, and the skin around them turned almost black!

I mention all this because in the police video Zimmermans nose looks normal. But what they don’t show you is how he looked the next day which this neighbor is describing.

I assume this will all come out, photos and everything if he was smart enough to take photos.

The liberal MSM feels they have carte blanche now to start a race war being that our first foreign born Islamic mulatto POTUS has all but endorsed it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The race hustlers have no need for the truth, because the truth is not their friend.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

****with the belief that Wayne Williams had acted alone in those cases as well.****

When Williams was arrested the murders stopped. Yet when CBS had a made for tv movie about the murders, they tried to show Williams might be innocent.

When I saw the picture of Mr. Zimmerman, I knew this was not an interview wanted to read.

Your post #11.

Where is the outrage? The years of leftist and MSM slanting and ignoring certain aspects of crime, has taken it's toll. George Orwell forecast the horror of being able to hold two conflicting views at the same time. In these cases while people maybe aware of equally horrible- or worse crimes against white victims, they hold this view. That it is more horrible,and punishable, if the black or minority is seemingly the victim.

I found myself humming the Billy Joel piece that was being played over the loudspeaker in the local coffee shop. "We didn't start the fire" a coverage of names in the news over the period, 1949-1989.

Wheel of fortune, Sally Ride, Heavy Metal, Suicide.
foreign debts, homeless vets,Aids, crack,
Bernie Goetz.

Going to Google and there he was - Bernie Goetz. In 1984 after being mugged and assaulted by young black men, he spent more time in the precinct than one of the perps. It was waived off and minimized. Later on a subway ride, four young blacks approached him. He shot all four of them and they survived. One was tragically crippled.

You and other Freepers may be better up on this case than myself. Since I intially thought, Goetz was a Wall Street broker, but remember the case at the time. Still, the furore and the debates raged at the time. Goetz served about nine months, but was in protective custody all that time.

The crap of young black men and any young men causing a reign of disquiet at best and at worst sheer terror, must stop.

Or we are not free.

Blacks are busy exterminatng themselves.

If they had to have one black parent to be considered black, there would barely be 10 million blacks left in the US, and nearly half of those are born in Africa.

In another generation or two, they’ll be irrelevant.

[caveat emptor]

Now, if he would get into how 13% of the population commits 52% of all murders and also kills many more of its own than all other races together, he might be on to something.

Yep. But since a sizeable majority of murderers in that 13 % of the population are younger adult males and older teens, he would really be on to something if he included only these.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, the medical records should show the injuries he incurred.

I wonder why those haven't been released, must be some privacy issues.

If I were Zimmerman I would want them shown to the public as soon as possible.

Of course all of this is just being pushed by the MSM to attack the 2nd Amendment and to disarm us so we cannot resist these attacks by thugs, like in the recent London riots.

The Left is concerned that they will lose their major intimidation weapon against the American people, fear of riots.

[tanknetter]

He also ignores the fact that the African American community is killing it self. Almost 94% of the murder of African American males is caused by African American males

He doesn't ignore it so much as dismiss it as falsified agit-prop.

IIRC, Dick Gregory was really big in the whole "CIA ran Crack into the cities to kill Blacks" thing in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The situation that became so explosive that the DCI actually debased himself and his organization by holding a town-hall meeting in South Central to address the allegations.
