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?
Not his dad, his dad’s girlfriend. They were visiting her...........
The broadcast, with all of the announcements and introductions and pre-game hoopla, started at 7 PM EST. That's not when the actual game started. Google the tip-off time. It was 7:37 PM. The game didn't tip off until after Martin was shot.
Another tiny bit of info that has not been reported in thee MSM is that ‘little Trayvon’ was 6’3” TALL and weighed 160 pounds..............
Nope, we have Martin’s girlfriend who heard the confrontation, we have the injuries on Zimmerman, we have an eyewitness who saw Martin beating Zimmerman, and we have Martin’s carcas.
In terms of the police, two theories. 1. There wasn’t enough evidence to support manslaughter, and there still isn’t. 2. The police are trying to cover their a$$ by reporting that useless detail, and quite frankly should be sued by Zimmerman IMO.
Correction:
I WAS TRAYVON...............
“what are you talking about? He was with his father at his father’s fiance’s condo. During the NBA all star game he went to the 7-11 and purchased skittles and iced tea. On his way back is when Zimmerman saw him.”

Hey “Dawg”, if you are going to blow smoke and post misinformation, you should do some checking first to make sure your post will stand up to scrutiny & fact checking.
“....During the NBA all star game he went to the 7-11....” You’ve posted this “allegation” (I’ll be kind and not call it something else) several different ways, sometimes saying he went out at halftime. The NBA All-Star game tip off wasn’t until 7:30pm that night. This “incident” was all over by then.
I think you may have meant to direct that comment at somebody else, perhaps. I didn't say anything about a 'gated community' or suggest an economic level or ethnic mix. I posted about the suspension and the time of the NBA All-Star game tip off.
Zimmerman (per the 911 call) had lost sight of Martin (unless you believe was lying to the dispatcher).
Next, we have witnesses who saw Martin beating Zimmerman (on or near the sidewalk).
If Martin didn't return, how could Zimmerman be attacked near the sidewalk?
Excellent, see all the entrance ways, his girlfriend said he was taking shelter under them.
He took shelter at a building.
“Why does Fox News continue to use the little boy photo.....”

Possibly because they couldn’t get their hands on one taken when he played an angel in a 2nd grade play and wore a costume with angel wings and a halo.
I have mapped the area, which I am broadly familiar with, and the "going to 7/11" story looks shaky because there does not seem to be a 7/11 or other convenience store within an easy walk of where Martin was shot.
I wonder when the "going to 7/11" story first surfaced. Was it when the father was first interviewed by the police, or was it concocted after the family hired plaintiffs' lawyers and started cranking up the race-baiting?
The truth may be that Martin simply went out in the aimless, trouble-finding, trouble-attracting way of some teenagers. Or, if he was going to or coming from the 7/11, did he go by a direct route, or did he wander and take the opportunity to case a neighborhood?
Moreover, in a mixed race neighborhood, would Zimmerman have viewed as suspicious even a Black teenager walking purposely? For all that Zimmerman has been derided as a cop wannabe, neighbors have spoken well of him and it may be that he had credible, non-racial reasons to regard Martin as acting suspiciously.
He’s a 17 year old six footer and you’d drive him?
Astonishing.
Nope, neither you nor I ... neither Martins’s girlfriend nor the eyewitness saw who STARTED the fight. Zimmerman has a past history of shoving people, including an LEO ... just sayin’.
The police did do a bit of door to door. Nobody was home at Martin’s place, out to dinner.
It’s him, but it’s been flipped, scar is on the wrong cheek.
Zimmerman did not know it was a plainer clothed Leo. As the Leo did not identify himself. Zimmerman was trying to help his friend who he thought was being grabbed by someone.
