    It was a question...a simple question. You sure seem to be very defensive. Where did I make any insinuations?

    The official police report lists Martin as 6'- 160 lbs. Zimmerman 5"9" no weight is listed.

    Maybe you should get your facts straight before posting the same bogus information over and over and then claiming ignorance.

    The mob doesn't actually consider ANYTHING. They lash out. They emote. They darn sure don't think. They can only destroy.

    This is pure racism thanks to Obama and Holder's people. "...the Cambridge Police acted stupidly."

    Jeb was left with No out.This is Attack Journalism.Force a
    Politician or member of the Opposition to accept some distortion
    or Liberal Reality on Their Terms.Ex. Is President Obama a
    Christian.? Repeat it until it's a fact.If one brings up the gaff Obama
    said on the George Steponopolis interview about " My Muslim Faith "
    and was quickly corrected by George to say ... " you meant your
    Christian Faith ".That can't be cited.either.
    NO Obama was NOT a Christian until he attented Trinity Baptist Church.
    ALL througout his Youth he was NOT a Christian.
    Doesn't matter.

    Not only that ... you'd have to wonder about the mind that would expend an exortibant amount of time putting this little montage together and then the amount of energy in having to explain it ...

    Would you please provide a link that clearly shows that the bottom two pictures ARE of Martin, and that the two top pictures are 4 years old, when the kid was 12 or 13 years old?

    I could also provide pictures of just about any kid looking "fearsome" and tell you they are anyone Iwish. . . That doesn't makeit true!

    So. . . I will be looking for the confirmation that those pictures are what you say they are. . .although as wa all know every kid likes to play "dress up!"

    Two glaring issues come up in regards to this new charge. First, why didn't Zimmerman state this, their stories should be in synch, and second, there should be marks from the assult on both.

    Funny odd,I'd say.Really ironic.
    Because the scuttlebutt and little we know has Zimmerman
    saying he was " jumped from behind ".He was walking back to his
    SUV.Plus was Zimmerman chasing Trayvon or walking towards him.
    I gotta tell ya,I don't trust a single thing the Left says about this.
    it is total distortion and a recreation of facts to support their
    nefarious agenda.That being to use this in many ways to their advantage.
    To attack Jeb Bush,the NRA and the Koch bros.
    To attack gun rights.To give the impression that Whites and the GOP
    don't care at all about blacks.
    And that the Liberals and the Lametrream are all on the team.
    The Big Obama Team.

    Sorry, everything in this thread I have stated has been supported by fact or the witness account.

    Not sure how you got height and weight out of that redacted pdf of a fax.

    Trayvon was 6-foot-3, 140 pounds, a former Optimist League football player with a narrow frame and a voracious appetite. He wanted to fly or fix planes, struggled in chemistry, loved sports video games and went to New York for the first time two summers ago, seeing the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and a Broadway musical,

    Here's another pic of Trayvon Martin:

    [​IMG]

    Those goggles make it apparent that he was getting ready to rob a bank and whatever that large flat thing is that he's holding... that clearly looks like a dangerous weapon.

    Actually you did.

    You just stated he confronted the kid with a gun. That is completely false. We also do not know he confronted the kid at all. He followed him is the actual fact we know.

    Please be more careful when you post what you consider "facts" when the actual facts are not known.

    Or some people are just looking for any excuse not to learn the facts or the law.

    Actually, I did not. Please do not misrepresent my posts.

    If you have a news story that would indicate he citation I am providing is incorrect please present it and I will review it with an open mind.

    http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/c...each-county-police-agencies-tell-2252704.html

    "He's running," George Zimmerman told 911.

    "Are you following him?" the dispatcher asked.

    He was.

    "We don't need you to do that," the dispatcher said, echoing the advice Palm Beach County police agencies said they would have given him.

    But he did.

    Zimmerman confronted Trayvon Martin in his gated community in Sanford, north of Orlando, and fatally shot the Miami Gardens 17-year-old.

    More....from Zimmerman's letter to the newspaper:


    "The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting, are false and extremely misleading. Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas," his father said in the letter to the newspaper. "George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever. One black neighbor recently interviewed said she knew everything in the media was untrue and that she would trust George with her life."

    and....from neighbors.....some who are black and who knew and were friends with Zimmerman:

    "Another black neighbor said that George was the only one, black or white, who came and welcomed her to the community, offering any assistance he could provide. Recently, I met two black children George invited to a social event. I asked where they met George. They responded that he was their mentor. They said George visited them routinely, took them places, helped them, and taught them things and that they really loved George. The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth."

    Frank Taaffe, a neighbor and friend of Zimmerman, told HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell that his friend was only inquiring about why Martin was in the area, considering there had been documented incidents involving young black men in the neighborhood committing crimes. But he insisted that in no way did Zimmerman target Martin.

    “Zimmerman is not a racist," he told Velez-Mitchell. "George Zimmerman is a caring man.”

    Hate crime? Certainly doesn't appear that way.

    I did no such thing. You clearly stated he confronted the kid with a gun.

    You really need to understand following is not confronting someone.

    con·front (kn-frnt)
    v. con·front·ed, con·front·ing, con·fronts
    v.tr.
    1. To come face to face with, especially with defiance or hostility:


    Following is not coming face to face with anyone.

    Please be more accurate when citing what you claim to be facts in your posts.

    And how do you justify in your mind what this witness is saying?

    Have you read that Zimmerman's Grandmother was Hispanic??? That would hardly make George a "minority"

    Sounds like someone needed to lay off the pipe? Did he have an eating disorder?

    I'm glad you brought that up.Really tickled pink I am.
    This word FACT.
    Because ever since last Summer and Lawrence O'Donnell's big plea
    about " You have a right to your Own Opinions,but you Don't have the right to your Own Facts. "
    Where he actually cut an MSNBC Commercial highlighting that point.

    FUNNY ODD.Al Sharpton adopted that phrase and used almost every
    night on his show since taking over for Cenk Uygur.
    Someone seriously needs to call Sharpton out on that.
    I've heard little besides his Opinions used as Facts in this Shooting.

    The girl on the phone with Trayvon also is testifying that Zimmerman confronted Martin when he said to him "What are you doing here?". She then goes on to say that Martin started to respond but he lost his breath as if the wind was knocked out of him. Then the phone went dead.
