The gun has that appearance because the slide is pulled back and locked. When the slide is in the forward position, the barrel points straight ahead and the slide is flush with the front and rear of the pistol.
If someone came in my store dressed like that with a hood on I would tell them to get out. There is no reason to have that hood on except to hide his identity.
He acts as if he is drunk or drugged the way he moves so slowly. He was up to no good, IMO.
If the prosecutor insists on going to trial with a second-degree murder case against him, it will be a short jury verdict unless its a mistrial. No way will he be convicted. If a mistrial the DA will look long and hard at retrying the case.
You know how the MSM loves to put on the air these sorts of videos of a gas station or 7-11 or whatever security cam whenever some incident occurs in such a place?
Why didn’t they get the footage here to put on the air?
Because, as you suggested, the public would have seen that Trayvon was bigger than the MSM narrative claimed and they would have seen that he was stoned.
The MSM are scum.
Just damn. Nothing like living up to all the stereotypes there, Tray.
Hydrostatic shock comes to mind.
The rounds sort of look like my Talons.

All they have to do is get a jury of all liberals.
John Travolta? Is that you...?
The slide is in the open, locked position. It is perfectly normal for this type of firearm.
I think all you’re seeing is the inner barrel float because the slide is back.
Normal and actually common for small pistols. Tilting barrel.
John Browning design, I believe.
This is looking like a huge backfire coming the way of “some.” Tayvon acted, stupidly......
I believe it was the Florida medical examiner who determined the wound was a “contact” wound from a gun fired at point blank range. But they are trying to make something out of the county examiner concluding the shot was from “intermediate” range, however intermediate is not defined.
Another article I just read is touting a police report that night finding that the “encounter” was “ultimately avoidable” by Zimmerman, but the article headline says the SHOOTING was “ultimately avoidable”.
It’s kind of obvious at this point what really happened, and even if there is an issue about legal culpability, this case certainly doesn’t support any of the racial firestorm created by the media.
It’s not a case of a defenseless little kid who gets hunted down and shot dead for racial reasons.
There will be no jury trial.
Under the Florida stand your ground law the first stage of the trial process is a bench trial (i.e., before the judge alone as trier of fact) on the question solely of self-defense.
If Zimmerman proves to the satisfaction of the judge by a preponderance of the evidence that he acted in self-defense, the judge will acquit him.
Based on the evidence revealed so far, Zimmerman's case for self-defense is much stronger than a mere preponderance of the evidence.
I hope the judge is a man of strong character and integrity because no matter what the evidence shows he will be branded as a racist by Obama's allies if he finds for Zimmerman.
It takes him forever to pay. He is rocking back and forth as well as forward to back, and occasionally rocks forward until he leans onto the counter.
As he leaves he goes in the wrong direction before figuring out where he came in.
Agreed, this proves Zimmerman was not embellishing on the 911 call.
Looks like the special prosecutor’s case hinged on.....well actually nothing, unless caving into mob rule is now a grounds for indictment & prosecution. If the judge has any balls whatsoever, he should throw this case out on it’s ear, and give a strong verbal warning to the prosecutor to never show up with another flimsy case like this. However, since Holder & his racist justice dept are chomping at the bit to bring civil right’s charges against Zimmerman, perhaps it is better to go to trial and see the whole thing shot down in court.
I think it is what they call a drop block breach.
It’s OK, it just looks like that.
