Hmmmm, it must have been another tab I had open. There are lots of threads about this and I’m catching up from a weekend with dance recital.

Go to any recording of Zimmerman’s 911 call. He says “I lost him” and then continues to speak to the operator for another couple minutes.

If you can find Martin’s 911 call, I’d appreciate it.

Let me explain something: Working the grave-yard shift at a convenience store - a thug called the store from the outside phone booth - stating he had a gun pointed at my head and demanded that I take the money from the register to the door. I pretended to follow his commands - and promptly locked the door.

Lucky for me - I was training a young black guy that night. He managed to ID the perp - hit the alarm button and turn the lights out - SAVING MY LIFE!!!!!

Life experience builds wisdom.

Don't talk to anyone who is unfamiliar with the only, I say ONLY, set of available facts. Here's the link

Does anyone have a source / link to Trayvon’s height and weight?

It depends on if you're looking at the media's pictures of Martin as an eleven-year-old (which is what they mostly show), or looking at the police report filed (which says 6'0 and 160). Poor George has his current pictures on display, yet the media shows 6 year outdated pictures of the black punk Martin.

Bwahahahaha ... good one. You’ve got that ‘counter it with humor’ thing down pat! BTW, if that one posts such a fiction, please, let me know. I can always use a good laugh at the expense of not so stealthy any more leftists.

You are a real piece of work!

A shot into the air would have provided his assailant with the advantage, and probably have resulted in Zimmerman’s death.

To add, all Zimmerman has to argue is that he was losing consciousness because of the injury to the back of his head, and if he lost consciousness, he would be at the complete mercy of his assailant.

Thus, he had to shoot to save his own life. He only shot to stop the felonious act by Martin. It was a tragic consequence that Martin died of his wound.

His attorney is going to have no problem with this.

He reminds me of the narcissistic manager in “The Office” (40 year old virgin actor, I believe). Cute is unfortunately inadequate and should not sway above life needed serious care.

There is about a one-minute gap during which police say they're not sure what happened.
re: My question to you about "five minutes," I happened to come across this at the Orlando Sentinel, about the 15th paragraph down.

>>There is about a one-minute gap during which police say they’re not sure what happened.<<

Well I’m not sure why the Police didn’t know. They were on the phone with Zimmerman when he said that he was watching a man, then said that he was pursuing him, then said “I lost him” THEN sat on the phone giving his position and asking that the police call him when they arrive so he could tell them where he was at that moment.

Maybe the Orlando Sentinel didn’t listen to the actual 911 tape. Maybe the police rep who gave that statement didn’t. I don’t know, but I do know that when you search for the call, and look at the time at the bottom of the file, it was much more than a minute.
