From what I’ve heard... - The initial police report said Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and back of his head, and that the back of his shirt was wet as if he had been laying in grass. Zimmerman was quoted as saying something like "I kept calling for help. No one would help me." The report also identifies several eyewitnesses, so the truth should come out soon.

Apparently Zimmerman called in a 911 report of a suspicous person and then followed the kid in his car. Zimmerman got out of his car and chased the kid, which is one definition of initiating the confrontation. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that prior to the confrontation the kid was doing anything worse than being a negro walking through Mr. Zimmerman’s neighborhood.

Again, I agree, we don’t have all the facts. Regardless of the facts in this particular case, Obama’s comments are creepy and opportunistic.
