ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.
The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.
(Excerpt) Read more at myfoxtampabay.com ...
OK from what you wrote, it looks like the witness first saw that zimmerman was being pummeled by trayvon, then by the time the witness got upstairs and looked out again, Zimmerman had turned the tables on his attacker.
Looks like justified self defense to me.
I heard a report on TV that Martin’s father, after hearing the recording of the screaming on the cell phone, said that the person screaming was NOT his son.
Apparently it was Zimmerman, the guy on the bottom, the guy on the grass, who was screaming.
A) diversionary tactic from something threatening the powers-that-be.
B) a trap/trigger for unrest to allow the powers-that-be to squeeze the ‘outlying provinces’ further.
C) all of the above.
I haven’t been following all the threads to see comments referred to in post 33, so I hope we all keep the discussion civil.
The link for the witness who may vindicate Zimmerman’s self defense adds to the idea the left & main stream press may have picked the wrong person for victim status.
...Then you have Gingrich chastising O’bummer for inciting a riot by playing the sympathetic race card. Gingrich, one of the few that has it right.
Holder pretty much kept his mouth shut, probably was already aware of the facts.
Witness??
Haven’t you heard the MSM... they know more than a witness... lol
My bad! Two screw-ups on FR in the same week. Might be time to hang up my keyboard and head for the rocking chair.
I actually meand “DREADLOCKS”.
“Warlocks” would be an indication of the occult, wouldn’t it? :o(
Your point is? Lots of witnesses want to remain anonymous and I wouldn’t blame him one bit especially when we have a psychopath as a president who is trying to start a race war and saying “ If he had a son he would like like Trayvon”. What kind of president would ever say that? he is truly demented.
Poor baby.
Try reading the article. The witness in question is a 3rd party, not Zimmerman.
I read your post 3 times and still don’t get what you are trying to say.
In other words, everyone else is dumb and I’m a victim.
‘You’re’ kinda (please excuse kinda) sounding like, well, my liberal friends.
Trayvon was suspended from school for 10 days. The father immediately got him out of town. The father claims he was suspended for being in an “unauthorized area of the school”- but refuses to elaborate. Was Trayvon caught stealing? Was his father trying to get him away from a “bad crowd”. Was Trayvon a good kid going bad? Has anyone checked the timeline of why he was going to the store. Wasn’t it supposedly at half time. Is it possible Trayvon was casing the neighborhood?
Looking at the foolishness going on in Florida I don’t blame the witness one bit for wanting to remain anonymous.
“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.
Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.
The witness only wanted to be identified as “John,” and didn’t not want to be shown on camera.
His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman’s claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.
Okay...I’ve seen several referencces to previous photos posted and when I go back to those posts, they’ve been removed. What’s up with that? Saw a photo earlier this morning, a side-by-side, that was supposed to be this Trayvon kid. Haven’t seen it since. Anybody have an explanation? Thanks.
The Photo essay by NoLibZone is deleted. What was it about?

Now someone is saying that there are two Trayvor Martin FB pages so I am uncertain about what is what.
Someone on another forum found a Trayvor Martin FB page and got the two photos at the link above and later they were scrubbed from FB.
Oops, TrayvoN.
Judgments on this case are so difficult because most of the facts we have access to are either incomplete or massaged (read “distorted”) by the MSM and the usual race-hustlers.
But one interesting feature is an aspect of the case that seems to have been lifted almost directly from Tom Wolfe’s “Bonfire of the Vanities” - the evolving characterization of the fellow who ended up dead.
From a synopsis of the novel, if any reader has forgotten (or never read it):
“The heart of the story unfolds when Sherman picks Maria up from JFK airport, takes a wrong exit into “Fort Apache” Bronx instead of Manhattan, and ventures through the borough that proves to be his heart of darkness. When he confronts a ramp cluttered with debris, he exits the car to clear it, only to find two African-American youths approaching him. Assuming they have designs to rob him, he throws some of the junk at them. Maria, now in the driver seat, backs up, hits one of the youths, and flees with Sherman. . .
“McCoy then begins the nervous process of reading though the papers, specifically the fictitious NEW YORK CITY LIGHT, a paper that looks to be a cross of the NEWS and POST, for a report of a hit and run in the Bronx. Soon the paper delivers on his fears as a Jimmy Breslin-like reporter, Peter Fallow, accounts the story of how a Henry Lamb, a high school senior in the Bronx, was unconscious with a coma in a hospital. Henry Lamb’s fate becomes the cause celebre for the BONFIRES. Enter now Reverend Bacon and DA Weiss.
“Reverend Bacon, an African-American preacher with Al Sharpton instincts, is initially investigated for scamming $350,000 destined as seed money for a day care. To take heat off the investigation, he calls on the Bronx DA Weiss, who is facing reelection, to investigate the Lamb incident, calling the foot dragging and initial investigations “Weiss Justice” because the incident involves a Black youth and a Mercedes. Peter Fallow serves up the interests of both Bacon and Weiss when his paper manufactures trumped-up stories about Lamb to sell papers. Lamb, an average student from a poor school in the Bronx, is turned into a martyred honor student destined for college and future greatness.”
This may very well turn out to be “Duke lacrosse rape part II.”
