This is so frustrating. When making a statement of “supposed facts” the first thing you need to do is read the official police report.
Per the released police report;
The first officer arrived at the scene at 1917 hrs, (7:17 PM), 26 Feb, 2012. Zimmerman was approached by the officer, relayed to the officer that he was the person that called 911, had shot Martin and was still armed. He was disarmed by the officer, cuffed and placed in the back of the patrol vehicle. The officer noted that Zimmerman had injuries to his nose, (bleeding), and the back of his head and that his back was wet and had grass on it.
When paramedics arrived they relieved the two other responding officers of the CPR duties and eventually pronounced Martin deceased, (1930 hrs).
Zimmerman was treated for his wounds in the back of the patrol vehicle and during that period of time he made a voluntary, unsolicited statement that “I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me”.
The officer stated that he later transported Zimmerman to the police station and he was interviewed in the interrogation room by a member of Investigations, (the name of the investigator is stated in the report, but not the division/section he is from).
All the misinformation out there, including this article are pure speculation or purposely made up/slanted.
Until the full investigation is complete, no one knows the truth, but the police report is, at this time, the best unbiased recitation of the facts in the public domain.
I implore everyone to stick to known facts and don’t speculate. There is enough B.S. out there on this case already.

Thank you! The left - the race baiters are speculating and fanning the flames of anger and radical racial white hate in this case without considering the facts; all the facts not being known at this time and the MSM and even at least one GOP presidential candidate are helping them.
But wild speculation and jumping to conclusions from our side is almost as bad, IMHO.
I know some are just trying to bring some balance to a lot of unbalanced reporting and calls for Zimmerman’s conviction without trial, but speculating that Martin was a drug dealer because we all “know” anyone who wears a hoodie has to be one, when so far there are no facts to support that, saying that he was shot at 3:00AM when it was actually around 7:00PM, posting FB pictures of some thug that turns out was someone else who shared Martin’s name, etc., posting web blogs as news reports, it just doesn’t help.
I’m not about to try and convict Zimmerman based on the court of public opinion and the opinions of the Sharptons and Jacksons and I’m also not about to completely exonerate Zimmerman and convict Martin for "having it coming to him" either based purely on speculation.
I can only “hope” that the new prosecutor in this case doesn’t cave to PC and outside pressure and conducts thorough and unbiased investigation and that the truth comes out. Sadly I don’t necessarily think that will happen given that Angela Corey is known for her zealous defense of victim’s rights and her considering this as a “hate crime” (eye roll), but I can still hope.
Unfortunately as so many have already made up their minds, whatever the unvarnished truth turns out to be, if it is ever brought forth, I tend to think no one will be completely satisfied with the outcome.
