SANFORD, Florida A slain U.S. teenager and the neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed him exchanged words before the teen punched him in the nose and began banging the man's head on the ground, according to the watch captain's account of the confrontation that led to the shooting. [...]
A statement from Sanford, Florida police said the newspaper story was "consistent" with evidence turned over to prosecutors. [...]

Still one question remains unanswered: Why did Zimmerman leave his truck to follow or otherwise confront Martin? Wasn’t Zimmerman WARNED not to follow Martin by the police dispatcher? Why did Zimmerman choose not to take that advice?
Seriously? You’ve taken the same line in about a hundred posts over at least ten different threads, and received about a thousand answers.
Zimmerman left his truck to follow Martin when Martin ran (according to the transcripts of the phone call). Why? You’re asking me to speculate, but if you consider the fact that he had called police to report a suspicious Martin I would assume it was to maintain visual contact of Martin so that when the police got there they could question him. There is no evidence he confronted Martin (in fact Zimmerman even tells the dispatcher he lost sight of Martin).
Quit wasting time asking the same questions that have been asked and answered.
after all what we know and what has been said and how the MSM has shown to be biased we still have a freeper asking questions and calling Zimmermann a gangster and why did he not turn back to his truck.
It’s staggering that people , freepers on this thread for crying out loud still can’t get their heads out of their ass and understand what the facts are.
This guy is screwed no matter what the truth. O.J. was innocent because he’s black, Zimmerman is guilty because he isn’t. Remember the protests? Racist much?
I’m stunned totally stunned that we still have a freeper who cannot get the facts into their head and STILL thinks Zimmermann is a gangster.
STUNNED, even on this thread with the twitter account, what he really looks like not the 12 year little boy photo’s, what we know, the police saying what they have said on this.
It’s just staggering that a freeper on this thread of all sites, let alone this thread has not understood anything about this case.
We seriously have some dopes on our side who are just as bad as the left , unless they are the left, because there is no way anyone with half a brain now can still question this.
I fear you could be wasting your time as I am , it seems some watch Ellen, Today show, Good morning America, Oprah etc too much
This is looking like it is all about making money no matter the truth? Shake downs,unearned publicity, and power grabs by otherwise race pimp losers and leeches? The JJ’s, and Sparpies, and the “New” (but hardly improved) Black Panthers?
thank you for that, I did not know the poster has asked the same question on other threads and it seems either they refuse to understand the facts or the left wing talking points have taken a toll on some.
Why I wonder now does one go thread to thread and ask the same question when they have been told numerous times the answer?
Red, I never, ever, ever, leave home without them.
I always have two guns on my person and at least one more in my vehicle.
I may die in a confrontation, but it will be a confrontation, not a surrender.
BTW
This punk Martin beat up a school bus driver. So, why would it be hard to believe he attempted to beat the crap out of Zimmerman?
Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no! See, the Miami ObamaMedia has been repeating over and over Trayvon Martin didn’t do anything!!
(Oh, they give about 20 seconds of “Zimmerman says otherwise...” and then they go BACK into 15 minutes of “Trayvon was loved by his parents, and Al Sharpton is mad as hell” coverage.)
You must be a racist for posting this story.
There’s a group of them. They go from thread to thread asking the same questions, and trying to shift the burden to Zimmerman by advancing ridiculous scenarios that are completely out of line with the available evidence.
Some try to bog the conversation down in irrelevancies.
There was a guy on thread yesterday asking us to prove Zimmerman wasn’t trespassing, and trying to bog the discussion down in the minutiae of HOA rules/regulations. Ridiculous stuff like that.
maybe it’s me but if you’ve been told the answer especially numerous times then what is the point of them asking the same question unless it’s some sort of a game to them.
Anyway most of us here know the facts now and can see how this is being used by the left and the race pimps .
I won’t speculate as to their motives (that’s their specialty). I just know I see some of the same people asking the same questions, and using the same terminology (”stalked” etc.) day after day.
They should also be cautioned to alert police or deputies when encountering strange activity. Members should never confront suspicious persons who could be armed and dangerous.
Won't happen...Sanford just appointed a Capt with 25 yrs experience (black) to replace the former guy who resigned as Head of the Police force.
Additionally... Gov. Rick Scott appointed a task force to review "Stand Your Ground" law. With Jennifer Carroll, (also black), to lead the Task Force...aling with Rev. BB. Holmes, (also black) to be Vice-Chair of the Task Force.
From the Governor Scott's Web Page:
To this end, I have asked Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll to lead the Task Force,...to conduct public hearings,... take testimony... and recommend actions legislative and otherwise.... to both protect our citizens and 'safeguard our rights'. Reverend R. B. Holmes, Jr., the pastor of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee has agreed to be the vice-chair of the Task Force.
I have also reached out to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Speaker Dean Cannon, President Mike Haridopolos and incoming presiding officers Don Gaetz and Will Weatherford who all agree that a Task Force needs to be assembled.
They will be recommending individuals for me to appoint to the Task Force, which will thoroughly review Floridas Stand Your Ground law and any other laws, rules, regulations or programs that relate to public safety and citizen protection.
Always double check. You got pic of ‘Wrong Trayvon’ again.
..." registration with the USAonWatch-Neighborhood Watch Program is not a requirement for forming a group......"It's not mandatory," ..... ...."A group of people can get together in an apartment building and say,... 'we're going to watch out for each other.'.... And that's it."
NSA Executive Director Aaron D. Kennard, Sheriff (ret.) said in the press statement: "NSA has no information indicating the community where the incident occurred has ever even registered with the NSA Neighborhood Watch program."
