Police: Zimmerman story is 'consistent' with evidence in Trayvon Martin shooting
Fox News / The Associated Press ^ | March 27, 2012

SANFORD, Florida – A slain U.S. teenager and the neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed him exchanged words before the teen punched him in the nose and began banging the man's head on the ground, according to the watch captain's account of the confrontation that led to the shooting.

Because 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was black and George Zimmerman has a white father and Hispanic mother, the case has become a racial flashpoint that has civil rights leaders and others leading a series of protests around the country. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense and has not been arrested...

I always suspected Zimmerman didn’t bust his own nose and beat his own head against the ground, but then I don’t have an agenda.

Are you allowed to write the name “Trayvon Martin”? Rush said his mother trademarked it. At least use Trayvon Martin™.

... she filed trademark applications for two slogans containing her son's name: "Justice for Trayvon" and "I Am Trayvon." The applications said the trademarks could be used for such things as DVDs and CDs.....

...Asked if Fulton had any profit motive, the attorney replied: "None."

bwaahahahahahahahaha yeah right

Yep. Media working very hard to control the optics of this one. No agenda at work there, right?

From the story:

"Martin's family thinks it was their son who was crying out. Witness accounts differ, and emergency tapes in which the voices are heard are not clear."

I'm thinking that there's some audio forensics software that can cipher this out riqht-quick.

Hell, if this were a case on CSI, they're pluck a hair from Zimmerman's head, throw it into a test tube with a few epithelial cells and it would magically produce a full-HD video recreation of event.

Put Gibbs in a room with Zimmerman and in 30 seconds the truth will be known.

I thought the Martins had ordered the media not to report anything negative about their son. Someone isn't following orders.

The media has been willing to speculate that an indistinct sound on the tape was Zimmerman using a racial slur. That will continue to be part of the folklore around the event no matter what.

Wait til the coroners toxicology report surfaces. The kid has a record,tossed out of school, known drug possession, and a wanna be father in the 1/2 white house. They are going to have to spill a lot of ink to cover this one up. He most certainly was NOT the cute little angel as canonized in the news releases.

Aren’t those resume enhancers for a democrat?

The press needs to kill this story before audio forensics software is used to support Zimmerman. By the time the truth comes out this story will be running in the middle of the paper, left side, at the bottom.

The link is to elite journalists (New York Times connected) talking when they don’t know a conservative is in the room taping.

Just some more fuel being poured on the embers of race hatred by Holder’s people.

How many times does that fat ba$tard, not so Sharp-ton, have to be proven wrong before HIS people will realize they look stupid following his racist rants?

The same crapola played itself out in Western NY after a late night shooting/killing of people leaving a night club.

The “community” was not upset with their own people killing each other as much as they were upset with the Buffalo News printing all the various crimes these pieces of human debris had been previously convicted. They held rallies outside of the Buffalo News and for once the News did the right thing and did not back down to low IQ loudmouths.

They’ve had vocal recognition software for decades....Just have to match Zimmerman voice pattern to the pattern on the tape.

With all the escalation of race-baiting going on, thought I would inject a bit of humor that came to mind upon hearing the names involved in this unfortunate incident.

"I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself all of these years. I was in the war, Medical Corps. One night they brought in a badly wounded pilot from one of the raids. He looked at me and said, 'Doc, the odds were against us up there, but we went in anyway. I'm glad. Captain made the right decision.' The pilot's name was George Zip. Yes, he looked at me and said, 'Doc,' he said, 'Some time, when the crew is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to get out there and give it all they've got. And win just one for the Zipper. I don't know where I'll be then Doc, he said. But I won't smell too good, that's for sure.'"

- Dr. Rumack, Airplane
