Here’s a youtube with the audible and a transcript. The guy also added what he thought some background noises were. The F-—ing “coon” part is wrong - it is “punks”. In the Serino transcripts Zimmerman talks about punks.

Serino says something like “But that’s the problem George, this young man wasn’t a punk. He had a future. He was studying aeronautics. How does that make you feel?”

What I think is so interesting is the quiet demeanor of Zimmerman. The swearing is almost under his breath, and then the next sentence goes back to the mundane of figuring out where to meet the cops.

The prosecution contends that Zimmerman, armed with a gun, profiled, stalked, confronted, and shot Travon Martin... In the second (prosecution) scenario, it is at least manslaughter.

I'm not seeing the lack of the same self-defense. Unless security watches and even public curiosity about unusual behavior is declared illegal or aggravating per se, there is nothing wrongful about being armed with a gun, profiling, stalking, and confronting someone where there is reasonable cause for these behaviors. As for the shooting itself, it doesn't even matter if those behaviors were wrongful, if they can't be used as a legal justification for St. Trayvon to physically attack Zimmerman. Once that attack takes place, Zimmerman is under no obligation to allow himself to be harmed or killed - none whatsoever. Thus self-defense trumps again.

An agressor loses the right of self defense.

An aggressor who is not wearing a magic blue costume loses the right of self defense.

Fixed it for ya...
