A resident of the Florida community where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin last year after a confrontation took the stand Friday and described going out to investigate a noise and seeing one person straddling another and throwing punches down at the person on the ground.
John Good said he was watching TV with his wife when they heard a noise and he went out to investigate, despite his wife warning him not to. At first, he thought a dog might be attacking someone, but as he moved closer, he said he observed what looked like "a tussle" between two people.
"It looked like a tussle," Good said. "I could only see one person. At one point, I yelled out, 'What's going on? Stop it,' I believe," Good said.
Under questioning by Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda, Good said one of the combatants was straddling a man lying face up on the pavement, and throwing punches. The testimony appeared to corroborate Zimmerman's claims that he shot the 17-year-old African-American with a legally registered gun in self defense, as he was being pummeled.

Where is the Black Atticus Finch? Someone should write a book about this called TO KILL A DOVE.
Sad thing is, if I had walked out on that, I would have yelled to my wife to call 911, and I would have then run over to separate the two. Maybe I would end up dead, but I haven’t yet, and maybe Trayvon would be alive if one of these “neighbors” had been willing to step in to the fray, instead of hoping the police would come and take care of it.
Quite a while ago now, I watched a man run into a restaurant my family was eating at, grab a waitress, and run out the door. I’m a short fat guy, but I jumped up and ran out the door after him. One other guy followed me. We confronted the guy and would not let him put the woman into her car. The other guy, the store manager, eventually got into the kidnapper’s face, and got punched and knocked to the ground, where the kidnapper started kicking him.
I stepped in between them with my back to the kidnapper, to separate them. And it worked. Eventually, the police showed up. By that time we had a pretty good crowd, so I think the guy wasn’t ready to beat up a short fat guy who was saying nothing and had his back to him.
But if we hadn’t run out, the woman would have been loaded in the van, and the guy would have driven away, and who knows whether the police would have caught him in time.
I’m not brave, or strong, but I am not one who could stand around and watch someone getting pummeled.
Of course, if one of these neighbors had a weapon, they could have fairly safely intervened.
what’s the html for cursive. I’m hoping to use it going forward as coded messaging.
I’ve been in similar circumstances, but am hesitant to assume good guy vs. bad guy.
I stopped a man pummelling a woman and I’m glad I did, but she as a drug addict and might have stabbed or shot me.
With two men fighting like this, it is hard to say what the outcome of trying to separate them would be. They might just decide to double up on you.
And you pull a gun on them and they don’t stop, what then? Or, one shoots the other, what then?
Yes, it would be good if more people got involved, but you can’t assume too much.
Moral of the story? Always watch your back, even when it's the victim you just saved standing there...
Likely with no sense of smell, either...........
Because his arms were getting tired and his fists hurt.
It is a certainty that it’s their unconscious, reflexive collective opinion on the case that led to this “error”. John Good’s testimony has no inconsistencies on this explicit statement of relative skin color.
You haven’t been paying attention. The most famous and obviously Photoshopped picture of Trashcan looking up at you from his hoodie was actually entered into evidence the other day, alongside the original.
Both pics here. Please note that the original was published in a sickening “typical teen-ager” Miami Herald article on March 22 and that Photoshopped versions were documented on leftist websites no more than two days later:

(BTW this also lists his height at 6’3” but an improbable 140 pounds. I happen to know exactly what a 6’3”, 140-lb, athletic, 17-year-old teenager looks like in jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, and I’d say he’s closer to 160 pounds than 140.)
I don’t see anything in a quick google search about one of GZ’s pictures was similarly deceptively darkened.
There are however lots of hilariously completely uninformed accusations by leftists and race-baiters that the picture of his bloody face, taken minutes after the beating at the scene, must be Photoshopped, because the “real” photo, taken at the police station hours later, does not show the same degree of swelling. This article http://jonathanturley.org/2012/12/04/new-picture-emerges-of-george-zimmerman/ is a museum of crazy-talk, especially by “experts” who declare themselves “fairly savvy in photo editing and can spot the use of blending tools and clone tools, etc..”.
I hope you haven’t been telling them that since the Duke Rape Hoax of 2006-2007.
People who have followed every second of the trial are asking themselves the same thing.
OMG, “The Nation”, that commie rag that was openly calling for Greece-style riots in our streets in 2010, I don’t want that in my browser history for one millisecond.
Those making the threats only listen to the evidence they want to hear, and they had all the evidence they needed to condemn Zimmerman long ago.
Martin Luther King could rise from the grave and testify on Zimmerman's behalf that Trayvon needed shooting, and it wouldn't change a thing.
