George Zimmerman's Reenactment of Trayvon Martin Shooting
ABC ^ | 6/21/12 | PIERRE THOMAS and SENI TIENABESO

Posted on 06/21/2012 4:40:55 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

"He took my head and slammed it against the concrete several times, and each time I thought my head was going to explode and I thought I was going to lose consciousness," George Zimmerman told police the day after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin.

"I started screaming for help," but Martin pressed his hands over Zimmerman's mouth and nose, he said. "He told me to shut the f&#k up, and I was suffocating."

Zimmerman told police he was lying on the ground, but his head was on the concrete.

Come on, George. Why didn't you let Saint Skittles continue to bloody your skull?

The attorney posted this?? Good for him. The guy shouldn't be in jail.

And did they read him his rights?? When?? Did they ask him if he wanted an attorney??

Aw, come on, little baby-faced Trayvon* was only asking that George redistribute his wealth, he didn’t mean to “lean” on him.

Yep damn the consequences, shot dead..attack someone and die..sounds fair to me..

I walk with a cane sword and a 357..

Just after the Zimmermann incident I flew home into orlando, the plane was full of folks with hoodies going to the march. I asked one guy, what if Zimmermann was just protecting himself, and was told it did not matter, whites are racist....awww Jeeeeez..not a racial slur but it was very tribal..mob mentality..

I feel sorry for the good black folks who get caught up in this..

The story emphasizes the investigators’ questions rather than Z’s answers.

Note the most they considered charging was manslaughter. Also Z’s injuries were evident during questioning.

Why didn’t he just identify himself as a neighborhood watch member? Yeah that always stops a sudden sucker punch and beating. /s

“I feel sorry for the good black folks who get caught up in this.”

I feel as sorry for them as I feel for the white segregationists who automatically got riled up any time there was even a hint of a crime by a black person. That’s what race prejudice does—it turns people into unthinking automatons.

Yesterday we had white racists in the south; today we have black racists.

Different skin colors, but same human nature underneath.

Wait, I know, let’s change the hearts of man. Shouldn’t be too hard to do right? Seriously though. It really doesn’t make any difference what all the psychiatrists or psychologist say, somebody eventually wants to be “in charge” of what everyone else does or says or thinks. Koom by ya just doesn’t work that way for very long. Sooner or later a “leader”(?)[definition of your choice] emerges and wants to impose his/her will on the sheeple that are easily convinced that this person “knows” a better way. Only the Shadow really knows.

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.

Who could possibly suspect this baby face of committing any crime???

NOTE: This is not a photo of Trayvon Martin, but the media would use it if they could!

Isn't this the same ABC that tried and convicted the mean white hispanic man for shooting that tiny little black boy with skittles? TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. Where is the investigative report on how and why you got it so wrong for so long with the pictures and descriptions of Trayvon.

The governor of Florida caved to a lynch mob mentality by appointing a special prosecutor who is acting as an agent for the Martin family.

George Zimmerman's Reenactment of Trayvon Martin Shooting

Completely irrelevant. Nothing but words on a page.

ZIMMERMAN IS GOING TO BE A DEAD MAN. It's just a matter of time. He certainly will never again be a free man.

He committed the unpardonable crime of killing a black gangbanger.

You damn sure should have dumped the 45 in the river and hightailed it out of the state, then.

The message has been sent, from Obamugabe right on down to that liberal bitch Corey: WHITEY SHALT NOT KILL A BLACK MAN.

Zimmerman is as good as dead.

IIRC, the gun jammed after the first shot.

Yesterday we had white racists in the south; today we have black racists.

Today still have white racists in the south, and in Boston, and NYC, and Hyannisport, and throughout the country - to go along with those black racists.

I've watched white swimmers clear the water at Lake Guntersville State Park in Alabama clear the water for thirty yards in either direction when a black youth and mixed-race youth I had with me entered the water to swim. I thought I was suddenly experiencing another era. I've seen more than that and heard more than that.

None of that, however, compares with the white racism I saw living in Boston (not that I felt safe going to Roxbury).

Note I'm not commenting in which group the highest percentage of virulent racism appears to fall today, where the racism manifests itself in violence and where it's manifested in more subdued ways. Nor am I commenting on where violent racism appears to be growing. I'm simply saying that we still have white racists and, from my experience, more than we want to acknowledge.

For the record, today's the anniversary of the 1964 murders of civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner at the hands of more than two dozen Klansmen in Mississippi. The ringleader of those murders was only brought to justice in 2005.

Zimmerman is not white. George Zimerman has the same percentage of caucasion ancesty that Obama has. The Media in the first days of this debacle photoshopped pictures of him to try to make him appear lighter.

You personally are backing the persecution when you spout that crap.

This is a political prosecution that was too stupid in its inception to even find a target that fit the narative.

“I feel sorry for the good black folks who get caught up in this..”

Me too. This kind of story creates division among people that should not be there.
