He’s a very well spoken young man, therefore the MSM will probably not give him another opportunity to get on TV.

If every American saw this remarkable interview, 80% of them would say it was self-defense.

Zimmerman has claimed that Trayvon pummeled him, broke his nose and smashed his head against the ground, causing severe injuries. But a police surveillance video obtained Wednesday by ABC News, showed Zimmerman handcuffed in police custody and apparently without any of the injuries that would be consistent with a life-or-death struggle.

Miserable scumbags just won't stop with their bulls*** narative.

There is enough pro-thug bias built into this article that I threw up a little reading it. Typical LSM garbage woven throughout.

Just one example of the pro-thug bias:

“Zimmerman has claimed that Trayvon pummeled him, broke his nose and smashed his head against the ground, causing severe injuries. But a police surveillance video obtained Wednesday by ABC News, showed Zimmerman handcuffed in police custody and apparently without any of the injuries that would be consistent with a life-or-death struggle.”

The word “But” to start the second sentence implies that the second sentence will contradict what Zimmerman said. But it doesn’t.

Actually, if it’s true that Martin tried to take the gun, that would mean he saw the gun, which means Zimmerman wasn’t covering it up... at least not very well.

If Zimmerman was following Martin, and Martin was running away (as per Zimmerman’s own words), and then Martin saw the man had a gun tucked into his waist holder... then it’s just as plausible that Martin was acting in self-defense, too, even if he decided to get a jump on the guy with the gun.

With all the noise surrounding this case, the story still hasn’t changed: There were two people - one a teen, the other a 20-something - apparently both suspicious of each other. They may have both believed they were acting in self-defense. But, the reality is, one guy was pursuing the other, who is now deceased. The crux of the issue is: If you pursue someone and then kill him if that person believes you are a danger and reacts in his own defense, are you really acting in self-defense?

All you have to say to the race-baiters is "Why did Zimmerman shout for help so long before drawing his weapon and shooting?".
If he was the bloodthirsty racist they want to make him out to be, he would have not said a word, just drawn and fired.

Any honest person paying attention to the evidence has to agree that Zimmerman is a hero who nearly lost his life protecting his neighbors from a criminal.

The LMM (lynch mob media) just isn’t going to give up on this until they’re beaten silly with the facts.

I have a question I haven’t seen addressed (of course it’s impossible to read everything on this case):

I’ve been on some Neighborhood Watch patrols, and we would never have done them solo. Why did Zimmerman do it alone? Just seems oddly careless to me.
