On FOX Orlando Wednesday evening, Robert Zimmerman, the father of the man who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, said his son was the victim. He said that Martin told George Zimmerman, "You're gonna die now, or you're gonna die tonight."
“George was going to the store, and he saw someone in his community that he did not recognize as living there,” Robert Zimmerman, a retired judge, said. “Because there had been a lot of break-ins in the area, he thought that was suspicious that someone would not be walking on the street or the sidewalk, but they'd be walking right behind the townhomes.”
Robert Zimmerman said that his son, George Zimmerman, 28, then called a non-emergency number to report this stranger. He lost sight of the teen as he looked for an address to report to police, Robert Zimmerman told the FOX affiliate....

True, but he also needs to bolster his black support and get them excited to be involved. He’s been wavering, particularly in the excitment and involvement categories.
Redial or dial...makes no difference. When Trayvon saw him using it, that’s when he probably punched him. I believe it more likely that Zimmerman already had the phone out and in his hand, since he had been using it to communicate with the 911 folks for some time.
Time and the investigation will tell. It may be completely moot if they determine there is not enough evidence to go to a grand jury.
You can bet now this making it throughout the websites and news agencies as truth when once again they are fabricating thier own story to keep the public engaged.
I believe the media knows the truth, has more information then they are willing to give because 'by piece mealing' information to the public they can get a longer run for the story...and advertizing revenues will increase for the duration. Not to mention doing Obamas biding for a race war.
I'm fully disgusted with our nation....what we have become is a bunch of fools who have zip zero discerning ability and no longer patience for the system to work. Everybody's on the edge.
A comment made by a poster under the new vedeo balck panthers are promoting stated:
"Does a black mans life only have value when it only involves someone of another race?....Because black on black murder is an epidemic..... However, this sad event demonstrates what has become of the black community:
.... A mindless mob on the strings of hate pimps like Jessie J and Al Sharpton who uses the 'ignorance' of the community to serve their own ends. This is nothing more than selective rage."
I agree.
That is important to know...Zimmerman made it clear he was concerned about where the guy was enough not to give his address out-loud....these details are lost in the medias reporting as they "criminally" frame their reporting.
Those who clearly see this are afraid to speak out....much like those in the Muslim world. Their own people will turn on them. Thus there is the black on black crime which includes this.
I work with a well educated and intelligent black woman....but she consistently looks for "fairness" issues within the workplace....as if wired to complain. She has her radar up 24/7. Now you can reason with her and she then backs down once you explain to her the reality of situations...then she sees that her "issues" get in the way of seeing situations as they are.
A a woman married to a black man expressed when the two of them are together they're treated very differently then when she is alone. She believes it's because of racism...... Trying to explain to her that it might not be because her husband is black but because some people question greatly what is she doing with a black man..and it is she that's the issue..not him.
You’re welcome. It’s taking a lot of work by a lot of FReepers to keep ahead of the propaganda flooding out of the MSM. It equally takes a lot of work for anyone to keep up with the corrections and alternative info surfacing on FR. Friggin’ commie bass turds. I think I hate the MSM more than any of them.
It does make a difference. If he is carrying in his hand he can unobttusively hit redial. When the operator comes on line George has an earwitness.
Instead Zimmerman has said that he "reached for my phone". That can look like a threatening action and when Martin saw that, that’s when he probably punched him.
“Just how could he legally pull that off?”
Martin's cell phone records will show if he was on the phone at this time, and what number he was connected to. Cell records of both parties have almost certainly been subpoenaed if the investigators are at all serious.
I hate being a cynic, but I think there's a non-zero possibility that Allen West makes a living by being a professional black conservative. Clarence Thomas is a conservative, period - no qualification needed - because he has ascended to a position from which he cannot be removed, short of signs of extreme physical or mental debility, and continues to vote conservative. Alan Keyes and Tom Sowell are the genuine article. Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Star Parker and so on - I think their whole schtick is being the token black conservative, and it's an open question as to what their real beliefs really are.
I think a number of so-called conservatives are really only playing a role for cash. Ann Coulter comes to mind.
I understand what you mean. It is easy to get frustrated and 'give up hope" for these folks ... But then we remember, 'Except for the grace of God, so go I'.
I know I was in worse shape, but yet God did not give me up to what I deserved. These people truly have been blinded by the god of this world, and they have our pity and prayers ... Romans 1 reminds us though, that there will come a time when God will give them up ... and that end will not be pleasant.
It is then a time to ask that He love them for us... for I do believe when He says as much as lies within you live peacefully with all men....HE recognizes our limitations and sometimes will take us to the point where we see them as well.
Thank you again....

I think she's a true believer. She's good-looking, a Harvard grad and quick on her feet. There's a shortage of these on the liberal end of the spectrum (insofar as doing liberal commentary for the media, anyway - plenty of of smart liberals in corporate America). She could make a living as a liberal commentator. She's just a north eastern conservative, which is another way of saying that she's just not that into social conservatism.
