This answers a lot of questions about the investigations and the actions of the Police Department and City.

"There has been a lot of media attention to the recent incident where George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin."

I'm betting Mr. Zimmerman has at lest 25 lawyers trying to call him as we speak, just on the above statement, which seems to throw the weight of the town's officialdom on the side of Mr. Zimmerman's supposed guilt. Last time I checked, a trial is needed to judge guilt or innocence.

Obama was quick to call Sandra Fluke when she needed comforting.

When did Obama call Tryavons mom?

[NoLibZone]

It will not be Obama or his DOJ that has Zimmerman arrested.

It will be a anonymous Grand Jury.

Despite their desire to inject themselves into every state issue.

I said this yesterday. The Florida law is functioning as it should.

Thankfully our legislature is only part-time and therefore will not be influenced anytime soon by those lynch mobs opposed to freedom who will soon be demanding that the statute be changed or, even worse, deleted altogether.

It’s coming.

[NoLibZone]

So a white guy is the city manager!

This info will not make it past the panel of anonymous freedom filter screeners at HuffingtonPost, Dally Kos Or DU.

[AlmaKing]

Not really. No new information was presented.

[Moonman62]

Yes it will; however, the telecommunications call taker asked Zimmerman “are you following him”. Zimmerman replied, “yes”. The call taker stated “you don’t need to do that”. The call taker’s suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow. Zimmerman’s statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his truck to meet the police officer when he says he was attacked by Trayvon.

The one bit of information being ignored by the media, which explains why Zimmerman wasn't arrested.

Zimmerman’s statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his truck to meet the police officer when he says he was attacked by Trayvon.

And you believe it. Why?

[ltc8k6]

There is no apparent source for that statement from Zimmerman, though. It doesn’t seem to be real.

[papertyger]

It seems almost like outside forces are trying to Maumau our “Stand Your Ground” law....

[Krankor]

He's as believable as some of the witnesses. Here's two who claim they saw Zimmerman straddling the dead young man who was lying on his stomach. The only problem is, Trayvon was shot in the chest and not the back.

LOL! It seems that way. “They” had Martin Luther King Jr III on tv tonight addressing a mob. I had the sound off so I had no idea what he was saying.

Just another day in Anacostia on the St Johns.

What bothers me is the picture of the boy that was shot, and that was shown all over the media.

It looks to be a clean cut picture of a kid when he was 13 or 14 years old, not of a 17 year old.

I would like to see a most recent picture of the kid. This was designed to make him look so “innocent”.

The facts of this case should be tried in a court of law. Unfortunately, I think the shooter has already been found guilty because it has become another racial issue...

Where is the media stories about those two black kids who set fire to a 13 year old white boy in Kansas City?

[Revolting cat!]

Zimmerman is as believable as all the other witnesses? When he's an, uhm, interested party? You're making me laugh, so tell us why. Here's and interesting bit from the report you linked:

Lamilla and Cutcher described Zimmerman pacing around the body, following the shooting, and disputed that there was any indication of a fight.

[lastchance]

What is the point of posting his picture?

[Theoria]

He had a interesting last name and I thought I would share his portrait from the Standard website with fellow FReepers.

I take it you have not listened carefully to the 911 call from Zimmerman? Because he says that in there. “I don’t know where this kid is.” Towards the end.

In general, anyone opining on this story would do well to look at all the material here:

What has come out from the MSM and the racialist rabble rousers like Sharpton is incredibly biased, unsurprisingly.
