A witness told Florida cops that he saw Trayvon Martin straddling George Zimmerman and pummeling the neighborhood watch captain “MMA style” shortly before the unarmed teen was felled by a gunshot to the chest.

The witness’s account was included in Sanford Police Department reports released today.

Interviewed by cops about 90 minutes after the shooting, the witness--whose name was redacted from police documents--said that he was inside his home when he heard a “commotion coming from the walk way” behind his residence.

The man recalled seeing “a black male, wearing a dark colored ‘hoodie’ on top of a white or Hispanic male who was yelling for help.” The black male, he added, “was mounted on the white or Hispanic male and throwing punches ‘MMA (mixed martial arts) style.'”

The witness--who was in his living room and about 30 feet away from the confrontation-- said he called out to the two men that he was dialing 911. “He then heard a ‘pop,’” police reported, and saw the black male “laid out on the grass.”

I guess I need to get out more.

What’s “MMA Style”?

(Yeah, I know what MMA is).

“MMA Style”. Sounds like a good choice by Zimmerman to me!

Don't bring MMA skills to a gunfight.

CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, Jackson, Sharpton, Obama, Holder, NYT, LAT, Washington Post, Politico, SPLC, NAACP, and many others too numerous to mention should be embarrassed for their actions...but they aren't because they have no ethics or conscience. The actions by all of these in this case are reprehensible. This incident is going to be the wake up call for most people to arm themselves and no longer trust the MSM and race baiters.

With all of this overwhelming evidence; why is this case even open?
Martin’s parents should apologize to Zimmerman.

The evidence continues to accumulate that it was a righteous kill. The defense seems to have testimonial and physical evidence on its side.

[IMR 4350]

Yes it is.

That's what I did to the SOB that almost bit my finger off.

Had they not pulled me off of him I probably would have killed him.

Every-time you hit them the back of their head hits pavement.

Watching some MMA or UFC fights is a far cry from “MMA training.” Rest assured that if a properly trained mixed martial artist had you pinned on the ground in a full mount, you would have a VERY difficult time getting to any weapon that you might have.

The fact that a street thug tried to emulate what he saw on TV doesn’t make him properly trained.

A gun is not a shield or magic wand. Don’t foolishly think such.
