Police: Zimmerman says Trayvon decked him with one blow then began hammering his head
Orlando Sentinel ^ | March 26, 2012 | Rene Stutzman

Posted on 03/26/2012 8:41:12 AM PDT by maggief

With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, authorities have revealed to the Orlando Sentinel.

That is the account Zimmerman gave police, and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say.

Zimmerman has not spoken publicly about what happened, but that night, Feb. 26, and in later meetings he described and re-enacted for police what he says happened.

In his version of events, he had turned around and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from behind, the two exchanged words then Trayvon punched him in the nose, sending him to the ground, and began beating him.

What I mean is, they WANT to start a racial war, but not with Hispanics. In most cities Hispanics and black are enemies. They might try to push this, but the war will be Hispanics and Blacks, not Blacks and Whites.

They’ll just loot and destroy their own neighborhoods. All American cities are ruined due to inner city scum.

Zimmerman got out of his SUV to follow Trayvon on foot.

This troubles me. Sorry, it just does. jmo.

Until a full inquiry and its results are released, this will be bubbling away for awhile.

“Friday, you won’t hear about it again. It doesn’t serve the lefts purpose; to start a racial war.”

It’s going to make me want to walk into a black church on a Sunday wearing a hoodie and laughing hysterically.

‘Zimmerman will go down for Manslaughter.’

I doubt that he will. They have very little evidence and as of yet have been unable to effect an arrest much less an indictment and conviction.

They need white on black war, not hispanic on black. Then you will have blacks against hispanics and whites.

Where is the outrage when black young men are being murdered by other young black men? Many children are caught in the crossfire by drive by shootings in the urban areas, and many murders are being committed by 17 year old black “youths” that may look like Obama’s son. Why hasn’t there been outrage by black leaders over those?

It won’t be what the people “want,” it will be what the Obama admin thinks they NEED. I think they’re just looking for an excuse to activate that shiny new EO he just signed, and race riots would do the trick.

“Then why if these facts prove out, can’t we say that we “are under attack BY blacks” or that at least hispanics are under attack, or at least hispanic neighborhood watch volunteers?”

That, my FRiend, is a very good question.

Give the angry mob an out, else they won’t back down. Flatter them and make them think they matter.

OK, OK, OK, let it drop. I’m sick of hearing about the creep (Martin). Let the law take the course and get to the bottom of the issue. Stop the reporting over and over cause it IS over, done, period.

Move on to the next crisis so the liberals can jump of that and exploit it to no end.

Zimmerman will go down for Manslaughter.

Zimmerman is Hispanic, that would a nightmare for the democrats.

The black voters will stay with the democrats no matter what happens.

The event happened a month ago. To charge Zimmerman now after the media blitz and statements by democrats would not go well with Hispanic voters.
