Trayvon Martin Killing: Friend Tells ABC News Howls on 911 Tapes Belong to Zimmerman, Not Martin
ABC News ^ | Saturday March 24, 2012 | Matt Gutman and Olivia Katrandjian

A friend of George Zimmerman, the man who shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., told ABC News today that the voice heard howling on the tape of a 911 call was Zimmerman's, not the teen's.

The man, a black friend of the family who spoke to Zimmerman tonight, told ABC News that Zimmerman was weeping for days after the shooting, which sparked protests across the country, and he insisted that Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, is not a racist.

"We wanted to come forward because allegations of racism just aren't true. His friends speak highly of him," said attorney Greg Sonner, who has been representing Zimmerman for two weeks.

Zimmerman's friend said that the howls heard on the 911 call, which helped galvanize the nation against Zimmerman, in fact belonged to Zimmerman, not Martin.

A witness who saw Martin on top of Zimmerman told ABC News the same: the pleas for help were Zimmerman's.

ABC news is finally reporting the facts that were available almost a month ago that help Zimmerman after they and their Corrupt Media cohorts have fanned the flames into a National Lynch Mob.

Maybe they realized that they will come out eventually and now are just trying to CYA to limit the damage that they have done to their credibility with the sheeple.

I was thinking about those stupid hoodies today....and how can we stop the kids from wearing them???!!??

Aha!

All middle age women (and men if you care to join in)...and older folk too....start wearing them.

All. The. Time.

Sure way to get rid of THAT fad....

Sounds like an older man yelling, not a kid, to me.

We were on the way to Tractor & Supply one afternoon and a ruckus started on the sidewalk.

A gang of girls of color had come out of KMart, where they’d fled from the McDonald’s employees whom they’d just assaulted.

While in KMart they decided to shoplift some stuff and were followed out by store security as the cops were already called and coming.

Suddenly more cops than I’ve seen in one place all swooped in and leapt out of their cars.

By this time, we were enthralled by what was going down.

The cops asked them standard questions about the complaints against them and the girls were the most foul mouthed belligerent bunch of ‘young ladies’ I’ve ever seen.

After about 10 minutes of this psycho-circus, one of the girls attacked the officer who was questioning her.

I don’t mean “slapped”; I mean full bore punching, kicking and scratching.

Bless his heart, he stayed calm and the other officers helped him get her cuffed and into the cruiser.

They then rounded up the rest of the pack and put them in the other cars.

A few minutes passed and a black woman came roaring up in her car, jumped out and started screaming at the top of her lungs.
[arbitrary racist/excessive force/profiling jazz]

She came up to us and asked if we’d seen any police brutality.

Hubby said “Sure did. One big vicious rip went really brutal on a cop.”

Apparently that was her daughter because she really let loose with a barrage of her vile opinion of us.

We gave our statements to the cops, along with the other 20 or so witnesses who were watching and they were still screaming, kicking and shrieking in the cruisers when we left.

If I’d ever acted that way towards LEOs, my dad would’ve crucified me, himself.

I wear one...but it’s from Hot Topic and is gray with black, screaming skulls all over it.

:)

[it kinda matches my sneakers]

I don’t think I’ll give an opinion at this point.

Pictures are so manipulated in this day and time. But these seem to resemble Martin more than some of the others.

There is no doubt, however, that the picture of the young Martin is being presented to create sympathy. Of course he was more mature when this all took place.

I’m waiting for a photo where he’s wearing a Boy Scout uniform and helping a blind kitten cross the street.

Gramps wears one when his ears get cold. :)

A boring gray color.

He looks like a dork, proving my theory of how to get rid of the fad. :)

I’m going with black. BLACK!

Excellent flick...*far* superior to the warm & fuzzy “I Am Legend” remake.

Heston ~still~ rules.

Maybe, but why would an unarmed kid attack a guy with a firearm? Sorry but that is extremely implausible.

Get a 9mm and you too can be a self-appointed member of your local Neighborhood Hoodie Watch Program and violate all of the central tenets of the Neighborhood Watch Program policies like Zimmerman!

He had a CC license.

Has anyone testified that he showed the weapon prior to being beaten?

Hoods in general seem to really accentuate his rather evil looks.

;D

[it's even worse now than he has long goatee that he often braids]

Wait until you hear Trayvon’s girlfriend. She’s not what you’d call an eloquent speaker.

Oh for Pete’s sake, he does NOT look evil! He’s just having a great time chopping off your head.

Wait.
