As more facts are known I have more questions: Martin and Zimmerman
WAGIST ^ | April 12, 2012 | Dan Linehan

If you read the article HERE you find a lot of good information. Maps are displayed along with time lines that describe the encounter between Martin and Zimmerman. This is the most detailed account I have seen yet.

A week or two ago another thread asked why no footage had been shown with Trayvon getting his Skittles at the 7-Eleven. I speculated that they didn't want the public to know that this "poor little boy" was actually much bigger than Zimmerman, and no longer a little boy. But there may be another reason; he was never there.

According to the account Zimmerman first saw Martin near the clubhouse; to the west of the altercation and also to the west of where Martin was staying. Now that I had access to maps I did a search. As near as I can tell, the closest 7-Eleven is over 2 miles away - to the east. - 2700 West 25th Street, Sanford, FL.

The linked article also suggests that Martin doubled back specifically to confront Zimmerman. I continue to wonder if the reason Zimmerman thought he was acting suspiciously was because Martin was acting suspiciously. There are reports that women's jewelry and a flat screwdriver were found in Martin's backpack at school, but it was not acted on.

What if Trayvon was roving the neighborhood looking for "opportunity" and saw Zimmerman watching him? Do you suppose that maybe the Skittles toting the little boy who punched the bus driver may have wanted a piece of Zimmerman for trying to stop him?

Going to buy ice tea and candy late at night in the rain. Sounds, uh, like a cover story to say the least.

Anyway, I’ve got to go see a man about a dog...

There is a 7-Eleven much closer, next to a SAM’s club less than a mile. What needs to be investigated is how the Trayvon Martin movement got started...out of DC by folks not related to the family, well after the shooting. I personally believe the Obama Administration and DNC were behind this movement.

If so loving then why was the suspended kid not grounded at home?

To be fair, the things Martin has been suspended for are rather minor. I had a friend in HS over 30 years ago who was suspended for worse. Today he is a degreed professional and a VP at a medical equipment company.

It was the report of the jewelry that caught my attention.

There’s already a new washed-out photo of Zimmerman out today.

My wife said last night “what is the point of having a gun to carry now when a black guy or a homosexual or a muslim can attack you and you are put away for defending yourself”

I told my wife that is exactly how the left wants people to think if they cannot get the gun laws here overturned.

I remember how some blacks were shouting “ wait till we get a brother in” or “ you crackers will get what you have coming soon”

Blackl racist can run around, cause trouble, shoot each other, commit crimes all they want but they can do it to whites and all is good according to Hodler and the DOJ

Remember that lawyer who stepped down from the DOJ said that the new lawyers in the DOJ got order to ignore crimes committed by blacks on whites but to go after whites?

We knew this for 3 years , since the black panthers stood outside a voting station and the GOP for the most part did nothing, can’t upset two blocks of voters who never vote for us anyway.
Many blacks and homosexuals

I also believe his girlfriend probably told a different story to the cops the night of the shooting

I don't know when the police finally spoke with the girlfriend, but i believe that on March 31 (that's March 31) she was still refusing to give an interview to the police on recommendation of the Martin family attorneys.

no matter what he did to get suspended he should have been grounded and certainly not be allowed to roam about or hang out in a different neighborhood or a different city or even state.
If my kids were ever suspended , hell if they ever got into trouble at school they know they’d be grounded for some time.

The little barry bastard regime head goon doubtless gave marching instructions to the fool prosecutor to charge Zimmerman as she did. The strategy appears to be to have a trial and an acquittal so the race rioting can begin. Holder is a racist thug working for a halfrican racist anti-American commie. It will get much worse before this is over. Watch for the ‘training runs’ of flash mobbing, preparing the feckless dullards to raise chaos on demand.

From the 7-11 store locator the store in Sanford, FL is at

7-ELEVEN #25063
100 NORTH FRENCH AVE
SANFORD,FL 32771 (407) 322-6383

Some are saying that Zimmerman lived in Twin Lakes community:

Mapquest shows:

From: 100 NORTH FRENCH AVE sanford, FL

To: Twin Lakes, Sanford, FL

Distance: 5.35 miles

At 3:00AM he is going to walk 10.7 miles round trip to a 7-11?

What am I missing?

Martin's parents brought in a "boutique" law firm that apparently is making a specialty of "civil rights" cases (read: racial agitation). Are the "black community leader" types and some D.C. and state politicians involved as well? You bet. But that lawfirm is making themselves a name in the black community. Just wait, they'll start turning up in any case where some black guy gets killed by a non-black.

Almost immediately, within around thirty-seven minutes after the shooting, Zimmerman was already waiving his right to an attorney. He then proceeded to interview with the police for several hours without any legal representation present.

The very fact that he did this, stupid as it may have been, and they STILL don't have squat to charge him with (Dershowitz says the arrest affidavit was ‘irresponsible And unethical’) means that they aren't ever going to have squat to charge him with because he did nothing other than fight for his life.

A lot of good ole boys here too and one of them say to me laughing”look at those boy, you know damn well those boys are just looking to get thrown out and get those cameras down here”

Most others were just laughing at how pathetic they looked and how they acted

That’s why Angela Corey is a coward. She accomplished NOTHING but kick the can down the road.

I disagree, taking a cue from Richard Cloward and Frances Piven themselves; OVERWHELM THE SYSTEM.

This is going to roil the waters so badly that they aren't going to know whether to spit or go blind.

We have to learn to beat the Alinskyites at their own games.

Our problem is that we believe in truth, and truth ain't all that complicated, so we expect to wrap things up and move on to something else.

That is not what the Left does. The Left are like termites; they are eating away at the very foundations of our culture 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

You can't just fight them, win, and be done. You have to fight them and fight them and fight them and fight them forever.

That's what's happening here. Anything that keeps the ball in the air is good.

I wonder if a toxicology report exists on the young Martin? Any illegal drugs in his system? He could have stopped and lit one up on the way back...
