Trayvon Martin Shooter's Story Not Credible
John M. Curtis
LA City Buzz Examiner
Zimmerman went to great lengths to cover his tracks, blaming the killing on self-defense.
Martins 16-year-old girlfriend confirmed that she heard via cell phone Martin ask Zimmerman, Why are you following me, and then the man asked, what are you doing around here, then the call dropped.
Zimmerman told police he confronted Martin because he looked suspicious wearing a hoodie. He admitted to confronting Martin. When Zimmerman called 911 Feb. 26 to inform them he was following the suspect, he was told we dont need you to do that. Yet, given Zimmermans account, an altercation took place
Zimmermans attorney Craig Sonner admitted that Zimmerman felt one of them was going to die that night was a bizarre statement
When Zimmerman commented on Trayvon wearing a hoodie, he opened the racial debate. Some inner city dwellers see hoodies as symbols of gang clothing, despite the fact theyre commonplace with white students at most college campuses.
While Zimmerman insists that Martin initiated the violent contact, theres growing evidence that the shooter provoked the altercation. Stalking the teenager around the compound certainly indicated that Zimmerman was looking for a fight
When Zimmerman admitted that he felt someone was going to die Feb. 26, he raised some disturbing questions about his motives.

Nice job, parrot. I see you still can't distinguish between editorial bloviating, and actually reporting news.At least the link indicates what the latest liberal party line is-for whatever it's worth. Of course, it's about 10% facts, and 90% pure speculation; but I guess that's good enough for a lynch mob. We'll have ALL the real facts soon enough, and if they warrant trying this case, perhaps we can do that in court of law, not in the press, or on the streets. In the meantime, how about we let the investigating authorities decide what's credible, and what isn't.
In the meantime we have every right to discuss it. That is what this board is for. You racist are only going to see and hear what you want to anyway.
NIce use of the liberal buzz word for anyone who doesn't toe the liberal democrat line. FAIL! As for "discussing" the case, there's a difference between DISCUSSING a potential criminal case, and attempting to TRY it outside the law, by simply slinging accusations, assuming facts not in evidence, blatant race baiting, and otherwise attempting to conduct a public lynching of the accused, who has yet to be charged with any crime, much less indicted, much less given a trial in a courtroom with due process under the law. If you hadn't been asleep in eighth-grade civics class, you would know the difference....you DID get past the eighth grade, right? I ask, because that is the level of writing and reading comprehension you typically exhibit here. If you think that was harsh, call me a "racist" again, and watch what happens next; you'll look even dumber than you already do. I've heard enough idiocy on BOTH sides of this. I'm not taking a side; I'm defending the legal process, which is trying to do its job. It can do that without the help of political hacks, race baiters, or violent mobs in the streets. Let it.
