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 found this link pretty thorough in finding bits of his past including pictures of him, his tattoos & tweets. It gives a clearer picture of his friends and habits but you won't hear about it in the news as usual. Such an innocent kid with gold teeth, tattoos at 17 and school suspensions. Let the liberals continue to dig a hole with this, including idiot hollyweirdos supporting this rubbish that he was such an angel. I can tell that his horns were all that was holding his halo on straight.

6’3”, and only 150 pounds? That’s pretty skinny! Doesn’t mean a thing though. He played football? What position? Goal post?

This case is amazing! Mr.Martin was shot in the chest - No! Trayvon was shot in the back of the head!!

Mr. Martin was suspended for ten days because the school found an empty plastic bag with scant remains of marijuana - No! Trayvon’s brother says, “he was suspended for beating a bus driver senseless”.

Hmm...I find the story of the beaten bus driver unlikely, because such a violent crime would have landed Trayvon Martin in juvenile detention rather than being released to the custody of his father.

I’m curious to know why Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend urged him to run away from Zimmerman. If Martin had a right to be there, then he had no reason to run and could have told Zimmerman who he was staying with at that community. But he did not do so. Why?

I wonder where he got the money for the gold teeth...Also had a tatoo

People with gold teeth and tattoo's deserve to be killed. This is a free country!!!

Wait a minute, I thought he was suspended for 5 (five, or fi, as he would say it) days for tardiness!

That was a lie spread by his family and media.

“so now they are giving the names of minors who witnesses in the case....think this is a way for the race baiters to silence and intimidate the kid???”


The authors had to include the fact that the 13-year-old eyewitness was named Austin Brown so that it was clear to the reader that he was a white kid (black parents don’t name their kids Austin, at least not back in 1999) and thus not to be believed.

On what basis?

You can’t pull a gun on an unarmed man that isn’t attacking you?

That is assault with a deadly weapon.

No, violent criminals beating your face in do, however.

Boy, if I had a dollar for every idiot in America, I’d have at least one for you...

Depends on if it was a scuffle or a full-on beating.

We won’t know anything until the forensic reports collaborates Mr. Zimmerman’s testimony and statements.

It sounds quite gay. I heard Liberace and Rock Hudson were big Skittles eaters.

What I was sent:

“No, according to his own brother, he was suspended for beating a bus driver senseless”.

Could have started as a scuffle, but beating someone “senseless”...I don’t think that is a minor administrative problem but rather a criminal issue involving battery.

The more we learn, the worse it looks for the choirboy who was merely visiting his father.

I’m asking everyone to refrain from responding to my posts on this case from previous days, now and in the future, meaning posts from today and future days. Our knowledge changes daily. A tragedy is becoming a tragi-comedy.
