My basic question is: What was Trayvon doing in the gated community where he was shot?
Was he cutting through the neighborhood on his way home? He was obviously on foot ... where's the proximity to his house?
Was he on his way to visit friends? Surely, you would have thought one of his friends would have come forward to say he had just spoke to him on his cell phone and he would be over shortly.
Was he on his way to purchase 'weed' or hook up with somebody? (as 90% of his tweets either extoll the virtues of weed or refer to his desire to ####)
Where was he coming from?
Why does Fox News continue to use the little boy photo and not the more recent one?
The “gated community” is $70K - $120K condos. Mixed ethnic area.
Why did he then return to confront Zimmerman?
Why did he then attack Zimmerman?
Maybe he was creeped-out by the guy who was following him?
We only have Zimmerman's word that Martin returned to confront and attack him.
Why did the police originally recommend manslaughter charges be brought against Zimmerman ... which the DA failed to do?
No. It was around 7:15 EST.
I haven't seen any credible evidence one way or the other as to the skittles and iced tea being stolen, but Trayvon had $22 in cash when he died.
His ID would show address out of town, not in the neighborhood. Sounds like a not tight knit community, so who, besides "step mom" (dads GF) and dad knew who/why he was there? I mean, of the witnesses who were contacted shortly after the shooting.
Cops don't take missing persons reports until 24 hours. Dad was calling INSIDE that window. Back to community not tight knit, wonder why no discussion between himself and a neighbor that evening, especially after all the commotion - might even have been on the news that night.
Oh sorry, He was ‘taking shelter from the rain at another building’....
/sarc
Some were rentals ... Zimmerman was a renter.
Very strange if he was, indeed, shot within 100 feet or 100 yards, either one, of the dad’s GF’s condo. And seems the police would have done some “door to door” that might have gone at least 100 feet or 100 yards asking if people had seen anything or knew the people involved. Strange....
That's what I read. She did not respond to police requests for witness testimony.
I don't doubt she was on the phone, and knew exactly how it went down. So, why delay coming forward? Under the circumstance of knowing Treyvon was the aggressor, she doesn't want to be a witness. Not a truthful one anyway.
Right. This was no high end “white” community as Bobby Rush D-Black Panther) implied with his hoodie stunt on the house floor.
Link please. I was under the impression he was walking on the pathway which ran behind the backyards of the buildings ... like, ya know, where his body was found.
So basically it appears that he was an unfamiliar face on the street at a time when kids his age are usually in school. This is the kind of thing that arouses suspicion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a minor clarification, if you please.
This incident happened on a Sunday at or around 6:30 pm.
Google searc: trayvon, shelter from rain. That should keep you plenty busy.
“Why wait till the next day to report him missing? Was he in the habit of staying out all night?”
Zackly! His dad was used to his all nighters. Probably hoping that he would bring home some good stuff..
Then, take a look at the neighborhood map,
thanks.
It was a Sunday evening.
Noted. I stand corrected and will not repeat what I said. It appears you can rely on nothing that is initially reported on this matter with respect to any topic, no matter how 'big name' the media source is. I need to go back to sticking to the tapes, the police report, and to sources that link the original source for their reporting.
