Media keep saying that Martin was suspicious because he was black and wore a hoodie but that is not what the police interviews show. He was suspicious because he was looking into a house that had been targeted for a burglary two weeks earlier.

Maybe so in this case but either suspicion is legitimate for concern. This idea that young black males are not cause for criminal suspicion is complete BS.

Zimmerman: And, I was leaving my neighborhood when I saw this guy, walking slowly in front of a house, looking towards the house. And I knew he didn't live there, so that made me a little suspicious. And then he kept staring around him, at me, and behind. And it arose my suspicion. And then he was, it was raining. And, he didn't look like he was in a rush to get out the rain.....

That'd do it for me! Punk was up to no good.

Everyone that cares to know the truth knows (and so do many who don’t want to know). GZ is just regular guy caught up in race baiting politics. Ohhh, Trayvon is indeed a victim...of the dysfunctional African American subscoicety created to prop up the Democrat’s soft cleptrocacy.

He stopped in front of the house. And then, I drove, there was a car, like, backing up, so I, I slowed down. And then I drove around him.

That's the part that gets me.

Why didn't ace detective Chris Serino get the video tapes of the 7 Eleven and the names of the 3 stooges that Martin had been cavorting with there and the car they were driving and find out why they dropped him off at this location rather than his house.

Surely an ace detective like him could have connected the dots.

Some years back, my older brother was in law school. He spent the weekend with a pal he was friends with in school. The parents lived in an upper scale, gated Florida community on the water. Very expensive area. So, my brother decides one late afternoon to take a stroll and look at all the homes. Within ten minutes, there were police present questioning who he was and why he was there. My point is this: he is white. The neighbors saw someone who didn’t normally belong there and contacted the police. He and the family got a chuckle out of it and my brother wasn’t offended at all. He did joke that he needed some newer clothes if he was going to visit again. Suspicious behavior isn’t necessarily linked to race. It is also linked to if the person is a stranger and not acting correctly. IMHO.

And, unless there is other evidence that I haven’t read, he describes him as “this guy”. Not “this black guy”. Since it was dark, raining and TM was wearing a hoodie, I’ve wondered if Zimmerman really knew what race he was. His suspicions were roused because of how the person was acting.

Without even reading it, I can tell you what made him suspicious: Martin’s BEHAVIOR.

Now I’ll go read it.

I see.

based upon reading this it would seem that Sean Hannity’s “guess” that Martin was walking xlose to the houses to get out of the rain is an erroneous “guess” at best, or a purposeful mistaken assessment of facts at the worst.

Martin was an obvious criminal.

One thing I notice about this is that Zimmerman’s conversation with the police exonerate him. I think of all of those “never talk to the police” types who loudly say you should clam up when confronted by the cops. If Zimmerman had done that he might have been charged *that very night* and may well have been convicted in a trial few outside of the Sanford area would ever have heard about. If the cops were out to “get” him they didn’t need him to talk. I admit, he was lucky to have a fair-minded and honest police chief.

This report fits into the protocol used by neighborhood watch groups These are posted areas advising visitors they are under surveilance.

Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage..

The least the talkies can do is get the facts out for the reason for the trial and its background instead of cope-ing with Obama moving the ball futhur and furthur away from what occured in GZ’s “Neighborhood Watch Area”.Rather than milking the emotional response routine like “big brother “does..

Like having local publications like the The New Amsterdam whatits follow like martinets, or is duped by the handouts of lies they’re getting from this government.

.For certain since the not guilty verdict has been rendered the facts of this case are still being concealed by the media such as not using pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins.

Many Neigborhood Watch areas consist of modest dwellings including the one Zimmerman was a “watch captain” in.. His was a mini US melting pot which includes a number of black families which banded together and set up patrols to protect their area. In this case they were struggling with single and groups of young blacks from other “hoods” on the prowl., In some instances armed, preying on homeowners in his area..Watch activities are closely co-ordinated with local police departments and follow very set protocols. Most conservative hosts demonstrate their ignorance and are rendering no futhur information then their listeners get from MSM .Thus allowing the MSM to set an agenda of distraction from this regimes history of corruption and scandal..

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3043817/posts

Usually such neighborhood watch areas are posted with a window or garden sign announcing that fact and those patrols will observe any one; black,white, green, or blue and sometimes even stop and question them. ..That fact and the area wasn’t even examinined by any of the so called media because it wouldn’t fit their agenda if true journalisim existed, because it couldn’t support any racial assertion. ..

It might even explain Zimmerman’s action taken during his surveilance of Martin because this watch volunteer got out of his car and continued his observation on foot because he lost sight of Martin. In many watch areas that’s done frequently when the subject disappears from view they may leave their vehicle and continue surveilance on foot.. ....

According to the testimony the beating occured after a brief exchange when Zimmerman was going back to his vehicle. Martin suddenly attacked him and was severly beating him to the extent he feared for his life. To put it bluntly Saint Trayvon was a smart ass punk who attacked a guy with a gun and got killed in the struggle over it when he had the guy on the ground pounding the hell out of him..

Obama in his latest attempt to move away threw more gas on the fire portraying by Saint Trayvon as what he was an irreponsible kid..That explains Bengahazi, where he left a top American diplomat and his aides die and the rest of his scandals Obama hopes his diatribes will hide. .

Even after learning the shooter was a staunch Obama supporter, not Jewish, (very quickly dismissed ?) and a dark skinned “hispanic”. Obama did nothing to curtail the hyperbole or tone down his edict creating this as a racist episode. Obama the boss of bosses and gets all the information about anybody ignored Zimmerman’s defence of a homeless black maltreated by a local police officer which resulted in the disciplining of the offending officer which Zimmerman fearlessly waged a campaign for. .

The socialists controlling the media propaganda machine oblidged.. They began claiming the exclusive “gated” neighborhood watch captain was a “white hispanic” . used a picture of a 12 year old Martin instead of the 6 foot 165 pound person he was vs the smaller 140 pound lttle fatty neighborhood watch captain. Worse yet allowed his US Attorney General to use questionable activities to promote a show trial and ignored using a threat of prosecution to black militant groups threatening the watch captain’s life.

Do not confuse todays politicians and their ahearants in the press and academia as followers of “Liberalism”. . These are die hard God denying I’m right you’re wrong socialists incapable of independent thinking running todays media.. Devising political campaigns of lies and manipulated inflamatory languange disguised as “news or reliable information” designed to destroy any opponent or group to what is edict-ed by their leader. You must wind up goose-stepping in unison protecting the collective otherwise we will through the use of government step on you and squash you like some insect..

Why is this being done ? Who accompained Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ? Now if somebody even suggests this. What better way to discourage that by threatening riots in the streets ?

Until the quashers are quashed this will continue..

The victims in this national tragedy begin with George Zimmerman and include all of the innocent people who have been beaten or killed in the name of Trayvon. The race-baiters, beginning with the race-baiter and chief, Obama, have stirred up the savages to serve their own purposes, and they are libel for every injury don’t to innocents because of their actions.

Actually, he mentioned most of this in the initial walk-through that he did with the police right after the interview. I mean, he indicated that the house had been broke in before, and that he had said that the open windows "wasn't like him." That is, it wasn't like the guy who lived there to leave the windows open. That told me right away that Zim knew the guy.

I really believe they should dust the inside of that house for Trayvon's fingerprints, if they have them on file anywhere.

It also makes me wonder if that house is uninhabited. I mean, it's owned, but the owner is away, and that's why Zimmerman had the phone number. And THEN, if people know the owner is away right now, that's why they targeted that house. If so, that suggests that Trayvon either might have been involved in the first break-in, or might have been buddies with the ones that were and was contemplating a follow-up.

Obvious racist profiling - paying attention to a Black yute because he’s looking in the windows of a house with White occupants - what could he have been thinking???

The type of burglary that Martin was up to is very common among young blacks in Florida. They peer through a window looking for stuff left on a dresser or a night-table (a watch, jewelry, even pocket change) and then get into the house - often through an unlocked door - sweep the stuff into their pockets, and take off again. Martin was obviously in the habit of doing this in Miami, since the stolen property they found in his backpack at school was typical of dresser-top stuff: a watch, some rings, etc. It’s an easy and generally safe form of burglary, and while they don’t get a huge haul, they get enough to make it worth their while.

I guess the only thing to be thankful for is that the burglars usually are looking for unoccupied houses and aren’t planning on sticking up the homeowner, although sometimes it turns out that the homeowner is there and things get violent.

An artist in Jacksonville was killed when a thug got into her house, thinking it was empty, and walked into the kitchen where she was quietly about to start preparing lunch. She was holding a knife in her hand, and she turned around and screamed when she saw him; he grabbed the knife, and while they were fighting, he stabbed her (he said it was an accident).
