Link given is to CNN video of Zimmerman's brother, who says

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2012/03/30/piers-morgan-robert-zimmerman-george-zimmermans-gun.cnn

that while Trayvon was busting Zimmerman's head on the concrete, Trayvon realized Zimmerman had a weapon, verbally issued a deadly threat towards Zimmerman's life, and followed that threat with an attempt to take control of Zimmerman's gun.

CNN is now running live a "town meeting" on the Trayvon incident, complete with tweets. On 'my' cable service, it shows it will repeat after a one-hour newsbreak.

My take is there are calls for disarming neighborhood watch groups, purification of the wearing of hoodies, they want justice, but they want Zimmerman arrested regardless, imo, moo, numerous attempts to reinforce white-guilt, blah blah.

I was posting the CNN twitter comment. it is not my comment. I don’t care if you watch it or not. I’m certainly not watching anything on CNN.

In the gay neighborhoods you gotta watch out for the ones who wear “hatties” like that In living color skit “Men on film”.

“Obama’s reckless foreign policy.”
I'd rate Obama’s foreign policy as treasonous after the open mike incident.

I really appreciate George Zimmerman’s brother putting his life at risk by simply showing his face on national television and describing the ordeal that Travyon Martin inflicted upon George Zimmerman before leaving his victim no other choice but to shoot him dead.

I want to stress that it is my belief that any member of Zimmerman’s family showing their face on televison is a serious risk.

Now is the time to accept the reality that the reason Trayvon Martin is dead is because Trayvon Martin was a violent criminal killed in the act of commiting a violent and dangerous assault.

George Zimmermna is owed an apology, and he is owed money, and I mean lots of money by a significant number of irresponsible people whom are too numerous to list but I’ll go ahead and cite two - Shepard Smith and Glenn Beck.

I’d like to throw on a hoodie and run into a national news broadcast and do what people in hoodies do ....show them my ice tea and skittles if ya know what I mean.

If Obama had a son.....he would look just like Travon. What a comment to make when someones son is dead. Sickening comment. It is sad the kid is dead. Sad this zimmerman kid followed him. Should have just made a phone call. Shouldnt have been playing cop. Kid shouldnt have attacked him.......Obama shouldnt be prosecuting this.

Shakespeare couldnt have written a better play.

[EEGator]

Hated it.

Morgan aggressively tries to twist the brother’s words, trying to make it sound like Zimmerman had unencumbered control of his weapon, coolly drew and fired. The brother handles it very well.

[blueplum]

I think the brother handled himself well, also.

Piers apparently hadn’t read the police report for himself or he would have known that Zimmerman was indeed bleeding and the paramedics on-scene cleaned him up.
