On FOX Orlando Wednesday evening, Robert Zimmerman, the father of the man who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, said his son was the victim. He said that Martin told George Zimmerman, "You're gonna die now, or you're gonna die tonight."
“George was going to the store, and he saw someone in his community that he did not recognize as living there,” Robert Zimmerman, a retired judge, said. “Because there had been a lot of break-ins in the area, he thought that was suspicious that someone would not be walking on the street or the sidewalk, but they'd be walking right behind the townhomes.”
Robert Zimmerman said that his son, George Zimmerman, 28, then called a non-emergency number to report this stranger. He lost sight of the teen as he looked for an address to report to police, Robert Zimmerman told the FOX affiliate....

How long before we start hearing that charges were not made because Zimmerman’s father is a retired judge...?
“The elder Zimmerman said that as his son started to reach for his cell phone, Martin, 17, punched him in the nose, knocking the larger man to the pavement.”
So Zimmerman got punched as his hand went into his pocket to retrieve a bulky metal obeject?
Guess you missed it, that’s already one of their memes.
Every word of the 911 call shows that Mr. Zimmerman was not in pursuit of Martin. He states several times that he “lost” him and said he did not want to finish giving his address to the dispatcher because “I don’t want to say it out loud. I don’t know where he is.”
If there is a trial Zimmerman will walk and the polarization will wreck Obama’s chances for reelection.
Already hearing it. There are even a couple freepers pushing the meme. It’s all over Facebook apparently.
I don’t think people will be happy until Zimmerman’s body is dragged through the street. Even then, they won’t be satisfied. :^(
He already has the black vote and the far-left white vote. Why do they need to stir the sh*t like this if they have them in their pocket?
Yes I did miss it. and you’re right, these people are ready for a good ole’ fashion lynching.
Like your home page shelayne. Come quickly Lord Jesus...
Bingo....first thing that crossed my mind immediately.
Stationed in Korea or live there?
Apparently we are slow mfh; a couple of FReepers have said it’s already the “meme”.
That has already started and by some here at FR, too. I think it was this past Sunday or Monday.

That must be the shortest verse in “Rules for Radicals.”(Alinsky)
So you’re saying Zimmerman could have shot Martin as soon as he put his hands in his waistband?
Didn’t think so.
You have to listen to the 911 tape again because what is key is how long Trayvon Martin was missing from Zimmerman’s sight. Zimmerman was NOT in pursuit and said SEVERAL times on the call that he “lost” him and “I don’t know where he is.” And “I don’t want to say the rest of my address out loud..I don’t know where he is.”
Puts the lie to the meme that he was in “pursuit” and it’s CLEAR that Martin at that point was in pursuit.

Robert Zimmerman, a retired judge, must have retired a looong time ago. Today, if a black man is trying to kill you, you must remain perfectly still until he is done.
Hell, that’s what we’re all doing for Obama isn’t it?
This will cost him Hispanics and a huge number of white independents who would have voted for him. A lot of them will probably be in FLORIDA.
He already has the black vote and the far-left white vote. Why do they need to stir the sh*t like this if they have them in their pocket?
1 > To keep racial tension going and hopefully cause major civil unrest.
2 > To draw attention away from the absolutely disgraceful and horendous Obama record.
We’ll see a crisis a week from now to the election.
Remember: “Never let a crisis go to waste”.
George Bush and Dick Cheney caused this to happen
