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....

So Martin can defend himself against a perceived threat but Zimmerman
cannot defend himself against an actual attack.
One juror to hang it. Then the city will burn. Obama solidifies his base. COMMERCIAL: if you don’t vote, your son will die like Trayvon.
The real question has alwwys been why does white America allow itself to be bullied by minorities?
They are called minorities for a reason and most whites fear most of them either literally or politically
Our ancestors....at least mine for sure....were never such chumps
Precious few brass white people left
“But wardaddy, it’s not about race”
Sorry it is to them and that train long ago left the station
The day decent whites reclaim their balls is the day we take our nation back
And everyone including minorities will be the better for it
If a kid was rushing toward him, I do not believe he was reaching for a cell phone. Anyone would have reached for a gun.

At least one black freeper, if not more. Identity politics dies hard, even in a relatively open and shut case like this one. I'm sorry, but my instinct is not to defend the "victim" in a situation where his parents start out with a PR offensive that includes baby photos and leave out his record of drug-, theft- and assault-related juvenile delinquency. It's one thing to put your best foot forward, and quite another to lie by omission.
No, 2nd Division, Obama has been loosing the black vote...and he’s a master at knowing how to push their buttons and get them rallied....all democrates do that...this is nothing new. Obamas hurting the black working community very much as well as students in the area of jobs and the like. Not to mention gas prices, food etc.
The Obamamachine is pushing this whole affair....along with the media pimping whatever it takes to make this a racial issue and to divert the election away from obamas failures and more importantly the crap he’s pulling off currently.
Look what he’s planning on doing with Russia....this was gigantic, it should heave been played on every network and panel discussions with it for weeks.... and yet everyones completely focused on this race thingy....made to order.
Cell phones are not “bulky” and also not “metal”. Sorry...but that dog don’t huint.
Trayvon knocked Zimmerman down...he should have left it at that and got the heck out. But he didn’t. He proceeded to beat Zimmerman severly, hitting him in the face and then bashing his head against the ground.
As a result, he got shot and killed. Tragic for a young man’s life to end like that...but I would have done the same thing at that point.
Trayvon initiated violence, then stepped it up to endanger Zimmerman’s life.
Zimmerman’s condition as described by the police and the witnesses matches what he said happened. I believe now that Zimmerman defended himself, and did so legally.
It’s time Florida’s elected officials grow a pair and send the State Troopers to either evict the New Black Panther’s from the State or arrest them for conspiracy to commit kidnapping and assault, if not murder.
This is all genned up race baiting and divisiveness to destract the public away from Obama’s abysmal record as President.

He was going to call back the police, he was to meet them. I’m sure it was on speed dial. Who said he was rushing towards him?

That would also backfire.
0bama is an evil bastard and more and more people are figuring that out.
Live here. I used to be military be I’m a contractor now.
If he even saw him approaching. It sounds like he didn't see him until he was right next to him.
"Zimmerman attended a four-month law-enforcement program in 2008 at the sheriff's office, said Kim Cannaday, spokeswoman for the Seminole County sheriff's office."
This training is probably why the gun stayed in the holster as long as it did.
My late father’s generation, the people who went through the depression and fought World War II and Korea, would’ve already raised up and swatted this down if they were in their prime and not mostly gone.

Cell phones are not “bulky” and also not “metal”. Also, it says no where that the phone was in his pocket. He’d been using it quite a bit...most likely it was in his hand and he started dialing the number.
Sorry...but that dog don’t hunt.

Exactly.
Blacks should be extremely upset with this evil man called 0bama.
I was at I Corps (ROK/US) Group (a field army) G-2 at Camp Red Cloud 1978-79 and 102nd MI Bn., 2nd Infantry Division (both Camp Hovey and Camp Casey) 1981-82. I’m guessing things have changed a LOT since I got on that airplane the last time.
I was on CRC during my first tour, I’m working at Camp Casey now. No, you wouldn’t recognize it! LOL I was only gone a couple of years and I couldn’t recognize it because it’s changing and growing so fast!
Because we are kind and diplomatic and compassionate. This makes us easy to exploit, unfortunately.
When is anyone going to start a George Zimmerman is innocent site. Danger is generally based on an individuals perception. When George was getting his face bashed in by this youf he must have felt that his life was in danger. Shame on the liberal media for spinning this seventeen year old thug as a babyfaced innocent.
