To paraphrase President Obama, if I had a son who had been flat on the ground in a vicious fight, the back of his head would look like that of accused murderer George Zimmerman.
Thanks to a photograph broadcast by ABC News showing Zimmerman’s bloody head wounds, those trying to use Trayvon Martin’s death to challenge “stand your ground” self-defense laws had better start exploiting some other tragedy. For the picture demonstrates that Zimmerman was unable to retreat, since he was pinned to the ground taking a beating when he shot Martin. And note that one of the depicted wounds is long and straight, consistent with Zimmerman’s claim that Martin was pounding his head against an edged curbstone at the time of the fatal shot.
We don’t have all the facts, but there are things we do know.
For instance, the police radio tape proves that Zimmerman was describing his actions to the police as he allegedly stalked his victim. Doesn’t that undercut the murder charges? What kind of criminal calls 911 to tell the police he is hunting down his intended prey?
On the tape, Zimmerman not only advises he is following Martin, but he also asks for confirmation that a police officer is being dispatched to investigate. The dispatcher replies that Zimmerman doesn’t need to follow Martin, to which Zimmerman promptly responds “OK” and agrees, instead, to rendezvous with the en-route police officer.
Again, what kind of murderer, preparing for the kill, invites the police to interrupt his scheme? Moreover, doesn’t this conversation support Zimmerman’s claim that he had ceased his pursuit prior to the confrontation with Martin?
We also know that, after shooting Martin, Zimmerman waited for the police to arrive and cooperated fully with their investigation, even as emergency medical personnel treated his head wounds. Wouldn’t someone who had just committed a heinous hate crime potentially punishable by death or life imprisonment have fled the scene or, at least, requested legal counsel and refused to answer questions?
Zimmerman and Martin fought on the ground, and the fight ended when Zimmerman pulled the trigger. But at Zimmerman’s bail hearing, a prosecution detective, who had sworn out the arrest warrant, testified that he couldn’t say who had started the fight.
If this case goes to trial, the prosecution will need a better answer than that if it hopes to prove Zimmerman was the aggressor. And shouldn’t that key issue have been resolved before bringing murder charges against an obviously injured person claiming that he acted in self-defense?
While much evidence remains to be disclosed, what we have learned so far raises serious questions about the strength, rationale, and integrity of the prosecution’s case. These questions are all the more troubling given the tsunami of manufactured racist hysteria that clearly influenced the decision to arrest “white Hispanic” George Zimmerman.
Stay tuned.

George Parry is a former state and federal prosecutor practicing law in Philadelphia.
“On the tape, Zimmerman not only advises he is following Martin, but he also asks for confirmation that a police officer is being dispatched to investigate. The dispatcher replies that Zimmerman doesn’t need to follow Martin, to which Zimmerman promptly responds “OK” and agrees, instead, to rendezvous with the en-route police officer.”
wow- you never heard Zimmerman’s response to the dispatcher ANYWHERE....
where’s the pic?
Yup. But what else would explain why no charges were pressed until it became a national issue?
He’s talking about the pic with Zimmerman’s head all bloody taken at the scene of the shooting. Surely you have seen it. If not, google it.
It was a skunk at the race baiting party when it was released after the media distorted the situation using a video of Zimmerman going into the police station to falsely claim there was no injury to Zimmerman’s head. At that point, the blood had been cleaned up.
Yep, it was in the released 911 tapes. I heard it myself. He says OK.
You can listen to the 911 call but won’t find out what was said from newspapers and tee vee. They reported Zimmerman disobeyed the “order” to not follow Martin. It was actually a suggestion from the 911 operator and Zimmerman did take the advice because Martin shook him anyway and he did not know where he went.
Sounds like not guilty to me! Wot? NBC-style cherry-bomb journalism manufactured the racist hysteria tsunami and in today's world that's all it takes to refute facts? You're right! “White Hispanic” George Zimmerman is guilty!
Oh Mr. Parry, you’re just trying to stoke the fire. The real facts will get in the way of an excuse for race baiters to call “their people” to action and claim something that ain’t so. Shame on you.....(sarc).
The race baiters would have you believe that it was because everyone is out to get the innocent black man, and that whites hate African Americans. So they had to manufacture a racist white man that was out to get young unarmed black men. It doesn't matter to them that they got most of the info wrong. It is time for reparations and vengeance.
These are Kangaroo court tactics practiced by the local Prosecuter in this Case. The only person that should end up in Jail is the Prosecutor..
There’s going to be a new word in the lexicon when this all through:
Zimmered: To make a crime victim a criminal so racists can make money. “That mugging victim got Zimmered when he fought back”
I wish someone would ask this question:
“Why didn’t Travon call the police”? He could have dialed 911 quite simply using his cell phone.
He forgot the number.

I’m guessing that individuals who case houses for later break-ins don’t normally have law enforcement on speed dial.
"OK," says Zimmerman at 7:12:02 p.m...
Does Zimmerman break off the chase?
By 7:12:15 p.m., the wind noises have stopped and his breathing has returned to normal as he discusses with the police dispatcher where responding officers should meet him. At 7:13:12 p.m. he interjects, "I don't know where this kid is."
Where is Martin? At just a normal walking pace of three miles per hour, he would be home by the time Zimmerman hangs up with police at 7:13:41 p.m.
He isn't. In fact, the fatal altercation between Zimmerman and Martin takes place only about 80 yards from Zimmerman's vehicle — 100 yards from the home where Martin was staying. And the first 911 emergency calls from neighbors reporting their fight don't come in until 7:16:11 p.m., 2-1/2 minutes after Zimmerman hung up...
:-)
How many of us really believe what these presstitutes of America report?
More important.....
Why didn't Trayvon’s girlfriend call 911?
She has claimed that Trayvon was frightened and was running away from Zimm.
She claims she heard the fight start, then Trayvon’s phone disconnected.
She claims she called Trayvon back several times and got no answer.
But so far, NO publicly released evidence that she tried to call 911 or Trayvon’s parents AFTER all this happened.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't a 911 call.
Mr. Zimmerman was talking to the police DISPATCHER.
She wasn't his 'girlfriend', he was a "best friend" not a boyfriend.
She is the girlfriend of another chap, Deion Lewis.
Trayvon Martin, hoodies, & sagging jeans video 7:09
In which case, the cell phone records will show the disconnect time as just after the start of the fight. And she better hope all that is consistent with the 911 timeline.
Too bad the media made up their own version of the facts.
Anyone who believes the truth, will be seen as a racist since we all know that everything we hear on TV must be “true.”
Remember, we haven’t heard from “the girlfriend” on the pone directly.
After reading the info on “DeeDee” linked above, I bet we never will.
Crump seems to have been very creative in making sure that there was pressure for an arrest. He needs an arrest and a trail to launch a civil suit, not a conviction.
When Zimmerman is acquitted, and Obama doesn't come out two seconds later with a pre-written telepropter speech calling for the Nation to be calm, calm down, tell the race-baiters to stfu, and challenge the black community to not respond - which of course he won't do - then when the riots occur, people die, and billions of property damage occurs - it can all be laid at the feet of Obama and the bill sent to Obama, and poof, there goes the election.
Hey David, chew on that one for awhile. .
I’m very surprised the editors allowed this story to run in the Inquirer.
It is also my understanding that the scuffle took place near Zimmermans truck, which would confirm that Zimmerman had returned to his vehicle and that Travon was the aggressor. Nothing about the confirmed sequence of events seems to contradict Zimmerman’s original story.
You're correct. George Zimmerman called the non-emergency number for the Sanford police, not 911. The City of Sanford made that clear in its FAQ letter, and the State of Florida makes that clear in the charging affidavit for the second-degree murder charges.
The media hasn't caught on to that yet. or don't want to catch on.
It's your executive recruiter, Mr. Axelrod. They might be able to find you another job in January...
No, he couldn’t find the piece of paper his daddy gave him with directions to call 9-1-1
A MSM newspaper telling the truth? OMG, the world must be ending...
ping
tagable...
>>>wow- you never heard Zimmerman’s response to the dispatcher ANYWHERE....<<<
Hannity played the entire tape, unedited. It was clear as day.
That was amazing - deserves to be it’s own stand alone post... Thanks for sharing.

I saw that and subscribed to his channel. He's a breath of fresh air.
....and that injured puppy under his arm that he saved could not have made it any easier.
For the good of the nation Zimmerman must die! The truth be hanged—to save hundreds of lives and millions in property—nay maybe Billions, Zimmerman must be executed. He must be killed for peace. If he was a decent man he would hang himself rather than have so many deaths linked to his rash act. Its not about Justice or Truth—its about Black-White hate now. Its about perception — terrible White thug, racist bigot, maybe KKK member, stalks and kills 12 year old choir boy as he walks with skittles. After killing the kid, Zimmerman hits his own head in the pavement to simulate injury. That the way almost 90 % of the black community sees it—and they have been told this by their leaders and the news media—even the president. It must be true. So, Zimmerman must die to save the nation. Maybe he could be nailed to a cross.
The real question is whether or not the State of Florida will scr*w this guy to appease a Black mob.
The answer will tell a lot about the future of the United States.
Thanks.
Re: DeeDee
All new information for me.
Have you checked out Wagist.com?
A great source for time line issues and crime scene maps and photos.
If not for the Conservative Blogosphere, we would know next to nothing about this case.
You forgot something...
