What struck me was the description of George Zimmerman, and what he said.

So the back of Zimmermans shirt was wet and covered in grass.
He was bleeding from the nose and back of his head.

That sounds like an assault occurred prior to the shooting to me.

This is exactly why I’m not rushing to any kind of judgement. The evidence needs to come out before the verdict is passed down. There’s a reason the PD hasn’t filed charges against Zimmerman.

While I won’t exclude the idea that Zimmerman might be some class of racist who just wanted to target black folks, I’ll need some kind of evidence first.

Believe it or not, Al Sharpton and Imam Farrakhan’s bombast is not, in fact, evidence.

From reading the reports and listening to the 911 calls this is basically what happened.

Mr. Zimmerman was coming back or heading out to do so errands when he sees a suspicious Black guy walking in his gated community. There had been some recent burglaries in the community or in a neighborhood very close by so Mr. Zimmerman thought the suspicious Black guy might be one of them. Mr. Zimmerman follows him a bit and Trayvon notices and doesn’t like it and stares at Mr. Zimmerman. Trayvon then starts walking and Mr. Zimmerman gets out and follows him by foot. All this time Mr. Zimmerman is on the phone to 911 reporting what he is seeing.

Trayvon starts running and Mr. Zimmerman loses sight of him. Mr. Zimmerman ends his call with 911. At this point Mr. Zimmerman walks back to his truck but is jumped by Trayvon. Trayvon is on top of him beating the crap out of Mr. Zimmerman while Mr. Zimmerman is yelling help as loud as he can. On one of the 911 calls you can hear him yelling over and over. No one in the neighborhood goes to help Mr. Zimmerman because they are all too scared to do so.

Mr. Zimmerman realizes no one is coming to help so he does what he has to do to protect his life which is to pull his gun. He fires on round which turns out to be fatal and Trayvon dies. Cops show up shortly and secure the scene and process it.

Anyone remember the black radicals urging blacks in the 60s to "Take ten!"

I remembered that when I read that Obama top associate Van Jones said that "2012 will be a turbulent, exciting year. It's important for us to get together and get ready."

Van Jones is also much admired by Mayor Kevin Johnson here in Sacramento, CA --

So I am suppose to ignore these things when someone like a Van Jones urges his people (both race and ideology) about preparing for

turbulent adj. Violently agitated or disturbed; tumultuous: turbulent rapids. 2. Having a chaotic or restless character or tendency: a turbulent period in history. 3. Causing unrest or disturbance; unruly: turbulent, revolutionary undercurrents.

So maybe Van Jones, instead of "take ten", given the attacks on that 14-year-old girl in Portland, Oregon, might say "Take it to the MAX!" Here

Everything we make up in this story, and everything, save the 911 calls and the police report, is made up, folks, if not by us than by the wannabe cop, everything then says more about us and our prejudices and wannabes than it says about the case.

And looking at the wannabe cop’s mug if he were in my neighbourhood carrying himself as he apparently did in Sanford, or if I were visiting that neighbourhood and saw him, I’d be inclined to consider him a suspicious character. (That’s full disclosure for ya!)

What struck me was that the incident was reported, the unit despatched, and arrived on scene within a minute. Smart work SPD!
