The 911 call about the gunshot came in at 19:17.

Phone records have been released showing that Martin was talking to his girl friend for throughout his walk to the store. She has said that he complained about the guy following him and that she told him to run - which according to Zimmerman's taped call, he did.

Bottom line...there is absolutely nothing that indicates anything other than a 17 year old walking home from the store while talking to his GF.

As for your hypothetical scenario...

Once the hypothetical black guy put his hands on the hypothetical white kid (who was not committing any crime), the kid would have every right to defend himself and the black guy would be guilty of some degree of murder if he shot him.

Race doesn't matter at all.

As for your non-hypothetical --- why should we be surprised that there are assholes who want to profit in some way from this?

By the way...why do you denigrate Martin by calling him Young Mr. Skittles? What is the point of doing that?

We have the transcript of Zimmrman's 911 call to the police. We don't have a transcript of what Martin said to his GF.

There is also nothing that indicates anything other than a case of self defense per the police statements and the 911 tapes.

"When the Sanford Police Department arrived at the scene of the incident, Mr. Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony."

"Mr. Zimmerman was not acting outside the legal boundaries of Florida Statute by carrying his weapon when this incident occurred. He was in fact on a personal errand in his vehicle when he observed Mr. Martin in the community and called the Sanford Police Department."

"The Sanford Police Department has conducted a complete and fair investigation of this incident. We have provided the results of our investigation to the Office of the State Attorney for their review and consideration for possible criminal prosecution."
