CNN ^

Posted on 03/28/2012 5:34:52 AM PDT by icwhatudo

Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem; Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police. Trayvon shooter 'extremely remorseful' Trayvon Martin witness steps forward Martin witness describes aftermath Maher: Racism, gun laws killed Trayvon

Martin said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose, Zimmerman said, according to the Sentinel.

Zimmerman said Martin pinned him to the ground and began slamming his head into the sidewalk. The police report described Zimmerman's back as wet and covered with grass, as though he had been lying on the ground.

Zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and the back of his head, the police report said.

"I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me," Zimmerman told police.

When the media starts to say a story is getting "complicated" it means their original version has turned out to be BS.

Article fails to quote the 2 main eye witnesses. One was a black teen walking his dog who saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman beating him. The other also saw only one man on the ground and that was the one with the red shirt (Zimmerman).

Considering one of Zimmerman’s family friends is a former CNN journalists, I’d expect them to give more information. Still, that they start to use complicated picture’ means they’re hedging their position.

CNN, here's a new picture.

New picture: This image taken from a Twitter account that reportedly belonged to Trayvon, shows an older image of the teen - just as new reporting is casting a different light on his behaviour

I see they found a pic of Trayvon that is only a year or so old now. Notice that he is starting to get a mustache in that one.

Other newer photos show him with a mustache, but for some reason they keep getting deleted here.

I also notice that the defenders of of the innocent lil gangbanger aren't posting on the threads now. Funny that.

I notice the younger ‘choir boy’ photos of Trayvon looking sweet and innocent are gone, and the prisoner-looking-orange-shirt photo of Zimmerman are changed too..

Before they change their minds they gotta change the photos of who looks innocent and who looks guilty

They'll weasel out of it by creating another piece of fiction on an unrelated incident, and dropping publication of remarks about this one.

What an interesting reverse-spin in the side by side photos. Suddenly CNN is using a photo of Zimmerman in a suit a tie intend of prison orange. Hmmm. Have they milked this non-story for all its worth? Is the Whitehouse internal poling reflecting backlash from hispanics? Why the sudden sea change?

Everybody should have realized something was 'hinkey' when they saw only photos of a 12-14 year old boy when the story was about a 17 year old young man.
Yet some people remained clueless and unconcerned about it.

President Obama was quick to respond when the story first broke, automatically taking the side of the criminal.

Now that the truth is coming out, Obama has nothing to say.

Which can lead me to only one conclusion...

Obama hates Hispanic people!!!
