George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch crime captain who shot dead 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, originally told police in a written statement that Martin knocked him down with a punch to the nose, repeatedly slammed his head on the ground and tried to take his gun, a police source told ABC News.

Not to get off topic - but he is probably WR.

That is where the skinny black kids play on my son’s team.

But this is silliness - I’ll bet he doesn’t even play for the school. He was suspended in the fall, and I’ll bet his grades are a joke. The “football player” is probably another family fantasy. He probably played in Middle School - and is “thinking about” going out for the team.

*sigh*... that isn’t a picture of Trayvon Martin. (Or rather, it IS, but not of he Trayvon Martin who got shot. That’s a different guy, some idiot grabbed it off facebook without bothering to check if it’s the same person)

I believe you are mistaken. Trayvon “Slimm” Martin, the one who got shot, used that dartboard (or part of it) for his twitter avatar. The shape of his face, mark beneath eye, and other features are consistent with other photos of T.M.

Many bogus FB pages using the name of Trayvon Martin have been thrown up very recently to muddy the waters.

That pic with the gold teef and the dartboard looks exactly like Martin.

Based on this kids behavior, I'm beginning to think that Martin was on track to one day be knocked off by one of da brothas' in da Hood.

More likely shivved in prison.

What is becoming of our society? That is despicable!

Then, there is this, too.

We are on the edge of destruction. However, I have faith in the American people to pull us back from that edge, and leave us in good stead. At least, for a while. ;o)

Remembering the Carter years...lol

For “someone” to foment a race war. along with the class war stuff, doesn’t necessarily guarantee success.

I think it’s overkill.

;o)

Watch some UFC fighters at 150 pounds.

Broken noses, teeth knocked out, concussions.

When you hear the 9-11 call, you hear the guy screaming for help as Trayvon beats his head like a drum.

I think that his lawyer said he is on the recording saying “F-—ing Goons”. Not “Coons”.

I heard the tape and its a toss up. For sure, he never said the “N” word.

Oh really,then you should tell FOX News they have both of these pictures now and put them up on TV..I don't as a rule watch any of the other networks, but I doubt they have the pictures or they have them but won't put them up..

I am very sorry for this kids death, but we really do not know the whole story..and the media and all the fools are making this into a race matter...Obamais using it for a political moment and he should be ashamed..

We can all see where this thing is going.

The narrative, that Zimmerman stalked Williams and shot him in cold blood, the overzealous neighborhood watch guy, trigger-happy, racist, etc... None of that is going to be borne out by the evidence.

More and more information about Williams, his previous trouble with the law, and how this actually went down is going to contradict the narrative, which is going to lead to an uncomfortable situation where the things that have been said have to be retracted or backed away from.

At that point, responsible people are going to have to hem and haw, and do a lot of “in light of new information” and all that. Of course, the shameless race hustlers will never let it go.

Al Sharpton maintains to this day that Steven Pagones kidnapped Tawana Brawley.

This case is going to wind up in the catalog of famous racial hoaxes, along with Tawana Brawley, Rodney King, DukeLAX and Freddy’s Fashion Mart.

“None of those are facts. Those are statements from Zimmerman.”

Actually, a lot of them (e.g., the Hispanic being on his back with a broken nose, the Black on top of him beating him senseless, the confrontation occuring back near the SUV) are known because of 3 eyewitnesses and clear physcial evidence.

The only thing that relies on Zimmerman’s direct evidence is how the fight started.

The defense would have the burden to prove an on-going assault to prove self-defense -— this is easy to do.

As a result, to defeat the self-defense claim, the prosecution would have the burden to prove “illegal provocation” by the Hispanic started the fight.

The only evidence is that the Black came up on the Hispanic and cold-cocked him. (Also partially confirmed by the fact that the ultimate fight was back by the SUV.)

The Hispanic seems credible. All attempts by race-baiters to show racila bias (he said “coon”!) have been disproven.

Instead, what we now know about the Black is he’s been suspended from school repeatedly, beat up a bus driver, sold drugs, and was caught with burglary tools and stolen jewlery.

Indeed, it sounds like the Hispanic did a great thing ventallating this thug before he committed more serious crimes.
