Police: Zimmerman says Trayvon decked him with one blow then began hammering his head
Orlando Sentinel ^ | March 26, 2012 | Rene Stutzman

Posted on 03/26/2012 8:41:12 AM PDT by maggief

With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, authorities have revealed to the Orlando Sentinel.

That is the account Zimmerman gave police, and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say.

Zimmerman has not spoken publicly about what happened, but that night, Feb. 26, and in later meetings he described and re-enacted for police what he says happened.

In his version of events, he had turned around and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from behind, the two exchanged words then Trayvon punched him in the nose, sending him to the ground, and began beating him.

You’ve posted too much and given yourself away. You may as well start referring to him as “perfect little Trayvon”. And the other one as “that mean old gun toting white (with a little bit of Hispanic) Nazi Zimmerman. His name even sounds like a gun toting Nazi.”

This is a forum and you are not in charge of free speech for Amerika. If you call me a sorry ass again, I’ll report abuse.

Any person who cites and links to Democratic Underground and Justice for Trayvon at facebook as reliable sources of information here on FreeRepublic is a sorry ass troll and should be banned from this site.........

I could care less what their last name is. I have black neighbors and guess what? They are just like us but the ones that live by me, got out of the bad neighborhoods and when they talk about getting out, I'm glad they're out. I wouldn't want to live in a bad neighborhood would you?

I didn't pick the names in this travesty. I remember you from the money scandal days of the late nineties. You've changed. I haven't.

Seems to me this is a forum, not a courtroom. I'm not ignorant, Mross. A minor was shot and that is called "wrongful death". If they would arrest George Z. and find him innocent, he would still be liable for a wrongful death action. It's going to either be criminal or civil kind of like OJ who offended again and is in a jail right now for a long time.

I don’t think you’re the only person on this forum who has black neighbors.

You said Zimmerman is free to be ignorant. I said you are free to be ignorant, too. I didn’t say you are ignorant. Though I do have an oppinion.

Money scandal days from the 90s? I wasn’t on freerepublic in the 90s and according to your profile neither were you.

If a minor comes at you with a knife and you shoot him is that “wrongful death”? Man, you’re out there!

Finally, I guess you’re saying that since OJ committed another crime you expect Zimmerman to do the same. Again, WAY out there!

If an individual is an acquaintance of a resident of an HOA and is staying at that residence or even a guest at their pool or amenities,they are called a "guest" by invitation. There are bylaws and rules. I say Trayvon because a kid named Marvin or Martin was pounded to death at Florida's last boot camp about six years ago.

You want me to type George? What difference would that make? I don't remember you being so psychoanalytical. It's not working. I'm looking forward to the DA's memorandum and the grand jury's findings. A minor is dead. Let's investigate that, okay? That's what I'm sayin'.

***************************************
What does that mean? “They’re just like us”

That reads like you believe that you are giving the backwards racists a lesson. That you are enlightened.

If I were black, I would be somewhat offended by your comment.

You sound snobbish.

“”The truth is starting to get out”

We still don’t know “The Truth”....but at least other side is now getting a hearing.”

The evidence & witinesses support the story of events that show “Obama’s son” beating the crap out of his poor man before justly getting shot by the man in self-defense.

It is now becoming clear that AS SOON as something like this goes down, FReepers MUST go to Twitter, Facebook, etc., and Copy the full page(s) ARCHIVE them somehow, so we can peruse, copy and paste pertinent items from them.

Someone recenetly made this same point - or one very similar; I think on a Breitbart thread. AFPhys' idea is excellent for online activism. I'm no good at this stuff (no time either) but I know plenty of freepers are good at tech stuff. I think a vanity about doing this would be an excellent idea. Who else to ping?

Is following someone on the street a crime? I would have done the same thing.

If it is, please show me the statute.

No need for an all out race war. Obama simply needs to shore up the black vote before the election. This will do nicely.

Noted that myself. They can’t report facts, we need the narrative so we know how to react.

After a week or more of “lynch Zimmerman” “racial profiler” “dead or alive”, now the revolting call I’ve seen go up is to “stop demonizing Trayvon”. What ridiculous racist imbeciles! Thanks sickoflibs.
