If Tingles had a son, he would look like the meter reader.

I read a quote from a friend of Zimmerman that Trayvon said to him “Yo gonna die tonight “MF”” as he was beating him.

If that is true, I think Zimmerman was certainly justified in the force he used to stop him.

There’s even a high definition frame capture of a small trickle of blood coming down from the wound. A LOT can be missed in video.. It’s not at all like the old ‘film’ days. What was the cop staring at?.. An ingrown hair? I doubt it. This will backfire on the left worse than ‘Fluke’ did. The cops are doing a good job of withholding information on this case so there can be one huge collective laugh at the media, black panthers, etc. later..

I almost enjoy seeing all the mindless speculation and "funeral home director evidence" coming out and working the dimwits hopes up, with the knowledge they will be destroyed once the actual events we already know occurred are overhwelmingly supported by evidence we haven't even seen yet.

Not to mention the political fallout.

It's going to be sweet.

if someone has punched me in the face and is trying to knock me unconscious by slamming my head on the concrete, they're using deadly force on me.

Maybe Zimmerman can claim he was simply firing a warning shot into the air and could not help it that Trevon was in the line of fire?

The Zimmerman family is going to own NBC / MSNBC when this is all over.

I hope you are right. I don't know a more worthless group of people when it comes to accurately reporting news. Of course it of little importance to me, I never watch MSNBC. But for that matter I watch very very little TV at all.

I doubt it. This will backfire on the left worse than ‘Fluke’ did.

This is just Fluke II, Deeper and Dirtier. After the first one bombed, they had to come up with something else to accomplish what didn't work in Fluke I as well as something to draw attention away from how badly they got skunked the first time around. I hope someone is able to do a Tweet history of this and show who it was who located the story after searching for something to use in this manner and then started the ball rolling (via a Journolist 2?).

If this guy was even 1% guilty, with all this pressure from the White House, NAACP, DOJ, UN, NBP, media, etc, he’d be in jail right now.

Now that the facts are coming out, it’s a “complex case.”

-- I read a quote from a friend of Zimmerman that Trayvon said to him "Yo gonna die tonight "MF"" as he was beating him. --

As he was attempting to disarm him. Zimmermans firearm was revealed late in the fight, and Z says TM tried to obtain possession and control of it.

ROBERT ZIMMERMAN, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN'S FATHER: After nearly a minute of being beaten, George was trying to get his head off the concrete, trying to move with Trayvon on him, into the grass. In doing so, his firearm was shown.

Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of "You're going to die now or you're going to die tonight," something to that effect. He continued to beat George and at some point, George pulled his pistol and did what he did.

CNN Newsroom - March 29, 2012
ROBERT ZIMMERMAN, JR., GEORGE ZIMMERMAN'S BROTHER: Well, and -- you know, I take a -- I take a pause to that whole, you know, conjecture, again, of pulled out a gun and shot him. That's absolutely not fact.

(CROSSTALK)

MORGAN: That's not what happened, then?

ZIMMERMAN: No, it is not what happened.

MORGAN: But he did pull out a gun and shoot him, right?

ZIMMERMAN: Well, he stopped someone from disarming him and shooting him. He didn't pull out a gun and shoot him. George showed tremendous restraint --

MORGAN: But he had the gun on him, right?

ZIMMERMAN: He had a permit to carry that gun --

MORGAN: Where was the gun?

ZIMMERMAN: The gun, I believe, was in his -- inside -- tucked inside his pant waist --

MORGAN: Right.

ZIMMERMAN: In a waist holster.

MORGAN: So he has pulled it out and he has fired it?

ZIMMERMAN: Well, he has taken control of his firearm, he prevented his firearm from being taken from him and used against him. And that's called saving your life.

MORGAN: Right. So you believe, as a family -- is this what George told you the next day? That Trayvon was trying to grab his gun to use against him?

ZIMMERMAN: My father also is on record yesterday night saying that. And again, what Trayvon said was, either to the effect of, I believe, this is going to be easy, you die tonight or you have a piece, you die tonight. And then attempted to disarm him. So when you say, "have a bag of Skittles and an iced tea," nobody just stood there with a bag of Skittles and iced tea. You return force with force when somebody assaults you. George was out of breath, he was barely conscious, his last thing he remembers doing was moving his head from the concrete to the grass, so that if he was banged one more time he wouldn't be -- you know, wearing diapers for the rest of his life and being spoon fed by his brother, and there would have been George dead had he not acted decisively and instantaneously in that moment when he was being disarmed by --

MORGAN: I mean, there were people watching this saying, well, the family would say this, they're protecting their brother. He may well have invented this whole story. Once he realized what he'd done. He may have just thought, the only way I can get out of this is to use this "Stand Your Ground" law, and under Florida law, and just invent this whole story. He may have inflicted the injuries to himself. We don't know, do we? Nobody actually knows.

In fact, this was not even a national story for about three weeks after the shooting. The liberals politicized it, then it went national, then calls for bounties and special prosecutors and all that went out.

... and the MSM being a giant echo chamber of liberalism rapidly amped up the party line from the White House / Media Matters. Sort of like speaker feedback.

Now you suddenly see all these carrion feeders pulling back, reconsidering, having internal reviews. The letters from the lawyers must have hit the mail.

The beginning of the end for the Trayvon Martin story? Hey, I can hope.

The MSM will drop this story like a hot potato when they realize it doesn't support liberal elite hatred of conservatives.

People die lots of different ways. It depends on what the bullet hit inside the body, how quickly blood was lost, etc.

It is nothing like a movie.
