I’ve heard the tapes — the shooter’s 9/11 call and other neighbors.

It is hard not to come to the conclusion this Zimmerman guy (a Latino btw) shot the victim for WWB (walking while black).

Anyone heard the tapes and come to any other conclusion?

I started out skeptical, but after hearing the tapes and interviews with neighbors, I think Zimmerman went out looking for a fight, started one, and shot the kid in cold blood. His crimes will be used to dilute Florida’s excellent self-defense laws and hurt law-abiding gun owners everywhere.

Your conclusion seems fair with what is reported. The lynch mob mentality encouraged tacitly by the DOJ is not productive legally but politically fits with the O. The case is going to the grand jury. Thus far, the locals seem to be moving appropriatly. It’s a sad situation all around and I understand the boy’s family being angry and frustrated.

I heard them. He struck me as a Barney Fife type SWAT wannbe-a-hero guy. The dispatcher told him NOT to do everything that he eventually did...........

I heard the tapes with the police dispatcher, the yelling, and gunshots in the background. Sounded like Zimmerman hunted this guy down and murdered him in cold blood.

I’ve heard the tapes too. He's guilty! The only thing this idiot should carry is a cell phone and a flashlight. His wounds could be self inflicted.

I thought I read that Zimmerman was following him and was attacked before shooting the kid? Were there any reports of injuries or evidence of self defense or was he not allowed to watch people in the neighborhood. I think we may want to leave this one up to those that have access to the facts and not start building the gallows.
