With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who eventually shot to death the unarmed 17-year-old, then climbed on top of Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, according to an account released Monday by authorities.
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.
Police disclosed to the Orlando Sentinel that there is about a one-minute gap, after Zimmerman called police and before he fatally shot Martin, during which police say they're not sure what happened.
In Zimmerman's version of events, he had stopped following Martin and had turned around and was walking back to his SUV when Martin approached him from behind. The two exchanged words, then Martin punched him in the nose, sending him to the ground, and began beating him.
Then, Zimmerman says, he began yelling for help.
Several witnesses heard those cries, and there has been a dispute about from whom they came: Zimmerman or Martin. Lawyers for Martin's family say it was Martin, but police say their evidence indicates it was Zimmerman. One witness was unequivocal that it was Zimmerman who was crying for help.

New background information on Martin emerged Monday. He had been suspended from Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School three times, most recently for possession of an empty bag with marijuana residue and a "marijuana pipe," according to a school's report obtained by the Miami Herald.

Race: White, Hispanic, Asian, Black, etc.
That, and Richard Jewell.
Well said about Jewell.
Hopefully Zimmerman will make out like a bandit from all the libel cases he’s going to win.
Nice point, thanks for bringing that up.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I am so gut-furious over the Black Panthers appointing themselves US Marshalls and Judge and Jury, and issuing a bounty on a person’s head, along with recruiting 5000 ‘volunteers’ to ‘find’ Zimmerman, (and the witnesses and their families), not to mention the race pimping and crowd rabblerousing by the obvious players, that I am fit to be tied.
Duke University, here we go again.
Now here we have the real “inconvenient truth”...
The story is running out of steam. My prediction is that most of the story will be dissolved by Friday. Starting next week....something new and unrelated to the Martin episode. There will be a court case against the Latino guy, but I doubt that you can convince an entire jury of going against the guy.....so a hung jury is predictable, maybe twice over. The Fed attempt at a hate-crime episode? It has to stand in front of a jury and I doubt that it can be accomplished. Even a civil case by the family....may not be winnable.
Ditto on that. I have been saying the same thing.
Then according to the NYT, Obama is a white Negro.
Like someone told me way back in the mid 60’s:
“DON’T GIVE ME ANY FACTS, MY MIND IS MADE UP!”
Yup. It’s called damage control. There is more out there, and even these leftist hacks realize they’d better start trying to salvage what’s left of their credibility before it’s too late. Of course, it already is...
There won’t be any trial, except if Zimmerman decides to file civil actions for defamation. The facts are too clear, and no prosecutor is going to risk taking the absolute loser of a case, and well, losing it...
Part of Charles Manson’s lunatic ravings called for a race war, and someone in Obama’s neighborhood said “Dig it!” when hearing of Manson’s crimes. That neighbor was Bernadine Dohrn. The Left wants a race war, and it wants one badly.
Yep, they are ready, the media is willing to sell us out..for a promise of nothing later..

If the media can incite riots,which they can,it’s just one more story to cover. Making the news.
I think the entire country of Spain could qualify as white hispanic.
Do they have to get in front of a jury? The government can sit down with him and say we’re going after you for this and this unless you plead to that. Then it becomes a game of chicken.
BTW, TrayVon’s pic was photoshpped by the MSM to make him lighter in completion and less evil looking. Gangsta TrayVon B ded.
