Uh oh....after Trayvon knocked Zimmerman down, he also says that he went for his gun.
Quote:
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch crime captain who shot dead 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, originally told police in a written statement that Martin knocked him down with a punch to the nose, repeatedly slammed his head on the ground and tried to take his gun, a police source told ABC News.
I don't think Zimmerman set out that day to kill a black kid. It wasn't pre-meditated murder or a planned assassination.
On the other hand, I don't think Martin did anything to threaten or intimidate Zimmerman that would justify the shooting. Claiming he felt his life was in danger is a tactical ploy by Zimmerman to justify his illegal use of a deadly weapon against the black teenager.
I don't see how anyone can accuse Obama of "shooting off his mouth" or "politicizing" the unfortunate incident. I guess it's the same Obama-bashers who are eager to spin anything they can to portray Obama in a bad light. This is not about Obama. He wasn't there and he has nothing to do with it. He is entitled to an opinion, just like you and I.
My guess is Zimmerman will be charged with a Hate Crime and given a "slap on the wrist" like a $300 fine and 100 hours of community service.
It is amazing how with each passing day we get more of the story. Now if all of these was in the orginal report why are they releasing pieces of it at a time? And wasn't it the orlando sentinel who reported that Zimmerman's lawyer said his injuries merrited stitches but didn't go to hospital? So did the lawyer not know he received treatment the next day? Was it secret treatment?
Glad to see you're finally coming around. Cooler heads have said all along that people should let the process play itself out. The police have NO obligation to tell you details. Leaked details are not collaborative or all encompassing. We get what we get from the media.....which has NEVER been an accurate or all-inclusive story from the beginning.
Wouldn't it have been more prudent not to rush to judgement? Of course it would.....but that didn't happen.
I'm disappointed in my fellow Americans. And yes, black people are at the front of the line because even now they lead the charge of crucifiying Zimmerman in the court of public opinion even as these details continue to pour out and present a fuller, and perhaps more accurate, picture of what happened. We don't know for sure, but we sure know more than we did. Right?
It's absolutely shameful how black people (and others) have rushed to judgement during this incident.
When did President Obama say this and could you quote verbatim what he said :
And I didn't realize that our president was called " OB ", I thought that was a feminine hygiene . more clarity and facts from you would be appreciated before I can respond..just want to be sure where this is headed .
Thanks
Really? And they (the media) keep showing a picture of a 13 year old that seemed like 5'3 and 110 lbs.
And he is a marijuana smoker or dealer too? Do schools really suspend a student for having marijuana for more than a month? Or do you think he did something else?

A Hate Crime is usually a variation of a regular crime with excessive time tacked on for the "hate" part.
Does anyone know why Trayvon Martin was in that lady's backyard?
