Did you want that too???
Sure. That would help to calm this story down. I mean here we are close to two weeks later and we are still talking about this story. Even Casey Anthony who went through the same thing was starting to dwindle down by now.
The press could have calmed the story down from the start, "Man shoots while suspected prowler is beating him." Now that the press has invested so heavily in a false narrative, it isn't about to reverse course.
The press could calm this down now, if it wanted to. Summer of the shark, the public impression is based on lies and misinformation.
John Good said that he yelled that to the two people outside.
If his yell didn’t make it onto the cell phone then how could you expect anything that Martin said at a much lower decibel to make it?
