LOL. Anyway, I should have add a \sarc to my comment. It was meant to represent how the MSM would look at this development.

Witness says Zimmerman was getting the worst of it.

This article does not report that Martin attacked - started the fight. That may be what the witness says, but the article does not say so.

It seems clear enough that Zimmerman precipitated the whole event no matter who struck the first blow.

Details, of course, not to be revealed until the grand jury of what the witness saw....sounds like Zimmerman did get attacked by Martin. I will not be surprised if in the end of this media dramatized affair, that Zimmermans story is proven the truth.

And the Alinskyite race-riot instigation scheme starts to unravel.

Do not worry. Many opportunities will become available as spring comes early to the northland.

We shall have riots soon enough.

Yes, he did. But that doesn’t matter.
If Zimmerman was being beaten to a point where he felt his life was in danger, he had the right to use his gun, whether he instigated the situation or not. It’s one thing to be punched a few times, it’s another to have to lie there and be beaten to death.

The important detail is, was Martin getting up off of Zimmerman to leave, after Zimmerman called out for help. If that’s the case, then Zimmerman is in a lot of trouble.

No Zimmerman did not precpitate the whole event. Listen to the recording for one thing....he did what he was suppose to do..he contacted the police dept. ‘While’ talking to them ‘the guy started coming up to Zimmerman’ then the guy jolted....The police asked Zimmerman if he was following the guy, (you could hear that he was), and the police said they didn’t want him to do that, Zimmerman said ok , and you can hear him stop then. The conversation ‘continued’ with directions etc.

It appears Zimmerman returned to his vehicle and the guy attacked him there.....Neighbors heard him crying out for help....witness calls 911...sees Zimmerman on the bottom taking a beating.

So no Zimmerman was doing the job he was given to do as a Neighborhood Watchman. The other guy approached him right from the get go.

But it will not be portrayed that way on the "made-for-TV" movie aired on HBO.

“Zimmerman precipitated the whole event”

by asking ‘What are you doing here?”?

by approaching someone who was trying to avoid him?

Just curious exactly what justifies a beating in your opinion.

Ok so you guys are saying as a Neighborhood watchman I see someone suspecious, I’m calling on my cell to the police, the guy starts coming toward me, ( it’s recorded that that occured,) I’m relaying that to the police, then the guy jolts running....That I precipitated this!!! Yeah right! NOT!

Was he dealing with a trespasser? If so, then therein lies the precipitation of the event. If not, then I agree with you wholeheartedly.

The precipitation was following him. He was told not to twice.
