CNN ^

Posted on 03/28/2012 5:34:52 AM PDT by icwhatudo

Martin asked Zimmerman if he had a problem; Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police. Trayvon shooter 'extremely remorseful' Trayvon Martin witness steps forward Martin witness describes aftermath Maher: Racism, gun laws killed Trayvon

Martin said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose, Zimmerman said, according to the Sentinel.

Zimmerman said Martin pinned him to the ground and began slamming his head into the sidewalk. The police report described Zimmerman's back as wet and covered with grass, as though he had been lying on the ground.

Zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and the back of his head, the police report said.

"I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me," Zimmerman told police.

Caught the first part of one of the “blah-blah” shows last night. They had Martin’s former football coach on and also some media pieces of the parents.. they say his past behavior, etc. is not relevant

” Where did he get all the money? Drug dealing, burglary, or a combination of the two??”

The info has been out there from the start. He was caught at school with a baggie full of gold women's rings and a B+E tool.

He claimed they weren't not his but refused to say who they belonged to.

He was also caught at school with a baggie with traces of pot in it and a dope pipe.

Pretty easy to figure out what he did for money.

Keep in mind that Hispanics are considered “white” when compiling crime statistics. So most of that “white” crime is actually Hispanic crime.

-- But the stubborn fact remains that cross-racial murder is relatively rare, in both directions. --

And of the cross-racial murders, the blacks are more murderous against whites, than whites are against blacks. This is true in raw numbers, and in percentages. The blacks, 13% of the population, murder more whites, than whites murder blacks.

If one focuses on the interracial murders only, what we have is more a problem of black against white. An objective population would notice this. So would an objective commentator.

You failed to account for the population difference between the two groups when whites outnumber blacks by about 6 to 1. ...Looks like that changes from day to day. /sarc/truth

Our President says that if he had had a son, he would have looked like this kid.

When you eat that many Skittles, best you brush your teeth, punk.

Whaddya bet that when all is said and done, they'll blame junk food? If Dam White can get off for Twinkies, Trayvon should be excused for Skittles.

Unlike stock, past performance of Thugs is an almost certain indicator of future performance.

Trayvon could have kept slamming Zimmerman's head into the ground until it cracked and Zimmerman died or was brain damaged. Mr. Zimmerman had every right to shoot teh thug off him.

One less thug we would’ve had to feed when he eventually went to prison. So tired of this story.

That chart accounts for single victim/Single offender. I wonder about the “many on one” murders like the recent MSU murder. Might that sidnificantly change the stats?

"Our President says that if he had had a son, he would have looked like this kid."

...and now the hoodies! But, the irony is that a good many male Obama supporters probably have no idea what their sons look like.

I think they are making space in their closet for their “I am Trayvon” shirts.

Right next to the ones that say: “Free Mumia”.

You’ll definately need to provide some link and proof for that information, because IIRC that is far different than FBI crime statistics.

Today’s news people are sorry excuses for real journalists.

Clintoon News Net and all the other lib MSMs rushed out without actually doing any investigation, even that the shooter was NOT a CRACKER. Now that shite is leaking out they would really like to put this incitement of hate and violance back in the bottle, but its likely to require many more of holder’s people biting the dust (like Rodney King) to cool this down.

On the other hand, nobama’s campaign will be happy to have race riots. This will turn out to be a bad ploy as it will not engender the weiney “independent” voters, although will again insure 96%+ black vote.

"Where did he get the nice gold ‘grill’? His mom and dad have good jobs?"

Out here in N Californicating land, a plain jane crown cost about 2 grand. Gold Bling Crowns have to be way up there costwise. I'm sure that Floriduh's prices aren't cheap.

This poster thug appeared to have at least 7 Gold Crowns or at least $20,000 in his mouth. Did Floriduh tax payers pay for his mouth bling?

Maybe we old-timers should cut them some slack.

I agree with others who've responded to you. The media's ineptitude nearly caused race riots, and did lead to the NBP issuing what could have been a FATWA on Mr. Zimmerman. No, they can take their well-deserved lumps.

I would be curious to know what the statistics are for so-called “inter-racial” crimes. i.e. crimes where a white and black are involved.

“I pray the Latino community gets pizzed and starts turning on their overlords....”

Legal Hispanic Citizens like Zimmerman have received a real wakeup call from the left wing mediots, the race card racists like Sharpton and Obozo.

Any legal Hispanic 21 and older should be buying something to exercise his/her 2nd amendment rights.

It is obvious that legal American citizen Hispanics will not receive a fair trial if a black thug tries to harm or kill them or a family member.

They should remember:

1. It is better to be tried by 12 of their peers instead being in a coffin carried by 6 family members or friends at their funerals.

2. To vote for Republicans not the racist Obozo and his Sharpton/Jackson racists.
