He had a lawful ccp and was running a personal errand on the way to the grocery store when he spotted Trayvon. He was not out on ‘patrol’.

same people asking the same questions, and using the same terminology (”stalked” etc.) day after day.

Part of the tactics of "If you repeat something enough times people will believe it"......

Additionally there are now web sites up giving Martin supporters instructions for"comebacks" and "tactics" when confronted about the facts or those who favor Zimmerman.

Talk about "groups" on a roll to make this bigger than reality!...and they'll all get 'donations' into their coffers for working the black population in this way........ All they need are signs and warm bodies.

Now it's all be about who can get the most dollars out of the public first... and ride the wave as long as the press keeps it rolling.......

So all the charlatons, actors, and wannabee famous for a moment witnesses who will "sell" their stories,.... are on the gravy train now!

Unfortunately the black community will loose once again for following the piped pipers.

The MSM aren't interested in the facts they are interested in keeping the story advancing.

The problem is now the pot is stirred and like I posted in another thread if Zimmerman isn't found guilty the aftermath is gonna make the Rodney King incident look like a playground scuffle by comparison.

“According to Zimmerman’s national neighborhood watch manual it states: “It should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers, and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles.”

Does the violation of the National Neighbourhood Watch manual constitute criminal activity?

“Members should never confront suspicious persons who could be armed and dangerous.”

Prove Zimmerman “confronted” Martin. According to the transcript of the phone call Zimmerman lost Martin. It was then Martin who first spoke to Zimmerman (who was on the way back to his truck).

Stop this nonsense.

It’s amazing that two different investigations by different chief of police have resulted in the same outcome....he didn’t break the law....yet, some people can not accept the truth. It appears we have a few who are failing in compression of information and are grasping at imaginary straws.

It’s scary that there are a few here. I would expect this at a site like DU where there is no ability to use reason or logic.

I happen to believe pretty much from the get go Zimmerman was innocent...and began searching back to when the crime first happened. His mother had said then Martin was sitting on the porch....which we know wasn't the case. So that put me on high alert concerning anything the mother might say.

Additionally when the media began posting the photos of Martin as a kid....and Zimmermans mug shot when he was just 21....now almost 30.... it was not hard to see the media was creating, once again, their own story.

The black population needs to grasp the fact they are so often used by politicians and by any who want their moments of notoriety....all on their backs. These groups simply want warm bodies, (preferably black), with signs......and soon after the "donation" buckets to pass and be filled....each group taking their "fair share" of those contributions.

It won't be until the money stops flowing this thing has any ending....but when it does end I think Zimmerman and his family will be able to escape and rebuild their otherwise destroyed life.

But the black community will wait til the next media freenzy... and rise when the true racists begin playing the pipers piper....sad...more than sad.

I think sometimes it's very difficult for the black community to accept when the facts are presented......rather like the conspiracy people who always look for what "else" could be in order to sustain their beliefs..... And in many cases this is understandable as corruption is at every level in our society now.

The problem is innocent people can and do suffer for misjudging as the media is the worst offenders in creating these happenings...... Journalists, Attorneys, Politicians and all have tunnel vision and it's no longer about "justice" it's all about being first, the win, and retaining positions and the dollars to line their pockets...it's always about the money....that will not change.

But yes it's hard for many to understand why people won't see the truth.....I suspect because truth can hurt deeply....and for many it's once again.

think it’;s hard for many in the black community to see how they’re used as political pawns because their leaders in their community have been paid off and they have been raised to feel as a victim.

The left created this mess and the left will carry this on to further their agenda.

Just look at how some on this site refuse to accept facts.
http://community.allhiphop.com/discussion/460207/treyvon-martin-case-the-plot-thickens/p11

Also it seems there are some left wing trolls on there putting up media matter links and denouncing FOX or anyone who does not go with their view or agenda.

Just think , the left have hired bloggers, trolls etc to stay home and go to these sites, this site infact and try and put the left agenda into peoples heads

-—Is Zimmerman a public figure? Can he sue people (Sharpton) for stating that he is a racist murderer?

________________

We need to get some conservatives with deep pockets to support Zimmerman (once the jury proves him innocent) to SUE both Jesse Jackwagon & SharpTongue for all the money they’re worth.

Zimmerman can’t work anywhere because of this (employers would fear a Black Panther hit squad would murder him in their office). So Zimmerman has lost a lifetime of wages because of these scumbags.

Make it a high-profile case so these Race-baiters know there is a price for their evil libelous chants of “racism” when no racism exists.

Well we did hear him say the ***hole might get away. And according to the tape it does sound like he lost the "f***ing coon" as well. We'll have to wait for voice analysis to determine which one was doing the screaming.

Do you really believe Martin was screaming and not Zimmerman? Do you believe Martin was the one to actually confront Zimmerman? Why are the pd docs so difficult to accept? Plz lay put what you think instead of asking questions. Plz tell us your whole opinion.

F***ing c**n? I see you’re a fan of CNN audio enhancing.

A variety of witnesses say Zimmerman was screaming. Martin was on top of him.

[[President Barack Obama weighed in on the “tragedy” of Trayvon Martin’s death last week, saying it is “absolutely imperative” that all levels of government investigate “every aspect” of how the unarmed boy was shot.]]

Hmmm- Ya mean obama’s son wouldn’t look like hte white 13 year old boy who was hunted down bty several older black teens, and doused with gasoline, and set on fire? And Obama doesn’t deem it nearly as ‘imperative’ to ‘investigate every aspect’ of that obviously blatant racist attack on the white teen? It’s obvious to EVERYONE but raqcist black people how Trevon was shot- he was shot by a man fearing his head was abotu to explode o nthe concrete sidewalk because this trevon was smashing his head agaisnt it- and it’s now obvious to everyone that Trevon initiated the fight by cold-cocking zimmerman as zimmerman was goign back to his car-

Just because someone is following a person, it doesn’t give that person the right to assault the follower- Trevon commited a crime by assaulting zimmerman- but the media is silent about thagt crime- Zimmerman had every right to follow someone he thought was acting suspicious in a neighborhood that had been repeatedly burglarized- Trevon did NOT have the right to turn around and assault zimmerman nor to bash his head agaisnt hte3 sidewalk so badly that zimmerman felt his only recourse at self defense was to shoot hte boy

E N O U G H with this bull shit racist accusations about zimmerman- Trevon commited a crime first on zimmerman, and it was so severe and so violent that it led to a trajic death that coudl have been avoided had trevon OBEYED the law and not attacked zimmerman as zimmerman was leaving the scene- Hell- Zimmerman didn’t even fire on the kid and tried to call for help REPEATEDLY but per usual- NOONE came to his aid- ONLY THEN did zimmerman pull his gun and fire!

UIF anyoen has ANY evidence to the cotnrary- present it- if not- please, enough with hte bullshit accusations abotu racism
