Unarmed Kid Killed (part 5)

Just like when I "speculated" Zimmerman chased Trayvon? Remind us again, what did Zimmerman's call prove? Oh that's right!!! In your tiny world a guy admitting he was following someone doesn't prove he was actually following him. He was just giving a recipe for apple crisp!!

 

So those of us who have been consistently calling for all the evidence to be in and actual police reports from the very start, trying to curb the mob mentality with the perspective of justice being served better that way....are voicing our agenda regarding this?

I can buy that. It is important and worthy to do so. Everyone should be on that page, IMO.

 

Seems like if the autopsy results supported Zimmerman (and the cops decision not to charge him), they would have released it.

 

That's true but Zimmerman had no legal right to follow and question Trayvon.

 

They aren't going to release anything else until they can release everything. It is smart not to charge Zimmerman at this point because defense could argue police misconduct or any other X to declare a mistrial. It is obvious after he is charged they will file for a change of venue which I hope they get. When he gets convicted I don't want there to be any whiny reason about it being unfair.

The witnesses contradicting Zimmerman is enough to arrest him but they can't do it right now because it would look like they caved to public pressure versus protocol. It is also smart because if they arrest him now I guarantee some NRA high priced lawyer will take the case pro bono and demand a speedy trial which could hurt the prosecution.

The sad part in this is there are people who actually think Zimmerman will never be charged.

 

Once again, it is easier to ignore the contents of a post by not quoting it at all.

No I will not respond to anything you say when you ignore the contents of my post.

 

Zimmerman told neighbors to watch out for young black males......but......that isn't racist in any way!!

Goodness.....

 

We know for a fact Martin ran away from Zimmerman......but in your world that shows Martin being the aggressor.........nauseating.

 

It was expunged. It is as if it never happened. Charges were dropped and he was never prosecuted.

 

This is insane.

If you're a kid and a stranger with a gun comes up and hassles you, can you imagine what you would feel?

What if it was a black or Hispanic self appointed neighborhood watch "officer" hassling and then killing a white teen?

Do you think he would be free right now? Seriously?

 

If I was at my father's girlfriends house where I am not known and a neighborhood watch captain asked me who I am?

Safer, that's how I would feel.

 

If it was truly expunged there would be no record of it.

The fact remains the cops told Tracy Martin one reason they did not arrest him is because he had a squeaky clean record. It is obviously not squeaky clean.

The irony? Trayvon is the one with the squeaky clean record.

The obvious question is, since that was a reason to not arrest Zimmerman, it should have been a reason to arrest him once others did Sanford PD's work for them.

 

Since his tragic death on February 26, Trayvon Martin — an unarmed 17-year-old African-American shot by “neighborhood watch volunteer” George Zimmerman — has become national news. Martin, a good student with no criminal record, was killed by Zimmerman on his way home from the 7-11. Zimmerman was carrying a 9 millimeter handgun. Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. (If you are unfamilar with the story, check out our primer on what everyone should know about Trayvon Martin.)

Martin has merited coverage by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today. The story has been covered by all three broadcast networks and extensively on cable. But there is one outlet that has barely mentioned Trayvon Martin — Fox News.

Here’s a breakdown of the coverage of Trayvon Martin on the three major cable networks from the day of his death through today at noon:

http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012...cover-trayvon-martin-tragedy-except-fox-news/

• CNN - 41
• MSNBC - 13
• Fox News - 1

 

Except we know for a fact Zimmerman did not identify himself as a Neighborhood Watch volunteer when he was following Trayvon. All he said was Trayvon was checking him out. If this was simply about safety Zimmerman would have identified himself.

We also know Zimmerman profiled black males and viewed Trayvon as an assdon for no cause.

Your pathetic excuses are embarrassing.

 

OK, you're walking in YOUR neighborhood, like this kid was. A stranger is slowly following you in a car. He gets out. Has a gun. Has no uniform. And starts questioning you. And you feel safe?? No you don't.

I'd be calling the police. Of course this kid or his parents didn't have that opportunity.

What if you're white and he's black or Hispanic?

In Zimmerman's mind the only thing that made this kid suspicious was that he was black....he was walking slowly....he had his hand in his waste band....that's it. THAT makes you suspicious? I take walks. I do that.

 

Here is a long 911 call I have not seen anywhere else:

http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/03/what-happened-trayvon-martin-explained

Scroll down to the recording that is over 14 minutes long. The caller makes some very clear statements and one of them is the two were wrestling on the ground and the guy that was shot is the same guy that was:

TRYING TO GET AWAY.

She also stated the same guy that was shot was

SCREAMING FOR HELP



This is on the 911 recording so even without the police interviewing witnesses they have a live recording and a witness saying the one who was shot is the one who was trying to get away.

It is exactly what we have been saying all along and this recording proves it.

 

A stranger....with a gun...with no uniform....not announcing himself...approaches you in a threatening manner.

The only one who could have claimed self defense is Trayvon.

 

If the police dept is this corrupt I wouldn't be surprised if someone inside the PD broke silence.

Or, the PD is not corrupt and are using this as a way to change the SYG laws. That's pretty thin though....

 

That is what I thought too but it seems the specifics are not being applied.

The troubling part is cops use Zimmerman's bloody nose to say it proves his self defense claim. How do they know Trayvon didnt hit him until AFTER Zimmerman physically assaulted him?

 

It has been reported it was expunged, that doesn't mean someone can't find out about the original arrest through some other record as a TV or newspaper report, but if authorities were asked about his official record it would not be there, it would be "squeaky clean".

Yes it is if there was an arrest and it was expunged.

Why would that have changed anything? There was no conviction and the arrest was expunged and will never ever have any bearing on anything.

 

It's been all over FOX news, Steve Carrighan has been there reporting on scene and they have been showing video of the incident that night. The first report on their website is March 8th. ten days ago.

 

Your heading says Fox didn't cover it? But above you show they did cover the Trayvon Martin incident/killing.

So the liberal media is pounding it out about one of many incidents/killings in America. It's almost like they are milking minorities racial strife...yet again.

 

I cannot believe you are claiming if they had run his background his record would show squeaky clean. You are obviously ignorant of the fact if they did run a check it would have shown up. His record is even on Florida's criminal website. Even the Chief of police ADMITTED they did not do a background check and they made the mistake of accepting Zimmerman's claim of having no record of anything.

Since the cops claimed one of the reasons they did not arrest Zimmerman was because he was squeaky clean it means they should have arrested him after fining out he wasn't squeaky clean. If his past did not matter then the cops had no reason to use the false claim he was squeaky clean as a reason to not arrest him.

 

That's specious considering the context is regarding coverage of a story in progress.
