Zimmerman's brother shoots him in the foot on Martin's death

Trayvon Martin Case: George Zimmerman Was 'Jekyll And Hyde,' Former Co-Worker Says

Some of Zimmerman’s neighbors said he had a history of being overly aggressive and followed people whom he thought appeared suspicious back to their homes.

At an emergency homeowner’s association meeting on March 1, days after the killing, “one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home,” a resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity told HuffPost. “It was also made known that there had been several complaints about George Zimmerman and his tactics" in his neighborhood watch role.

I didn't listen to much of what he said. He wasn't there.

I am vaguely entertained by InTheMiddle's inability to comprehend really basic shit like:

One can be out of breath and still shout if one feels one's life is threatened.

One can be dazed - or 'almost unconscious' and still shout for help.

There is an eye witness who confirms that it was Zimmerman calling for help, that Martin was on top of Zimmerman and that Martin did strike Zimmerman.

Idiots and their desperate need to make shit out of nothing.

Link?

Well, it's apparent that CG isn't going to link to her claim that a witness saw Martin strike Zimmerman, so can anyone else do it? I've googled around and found nothing to support the claim.

Why Manipulate the Tragedy of Trayvon Martin? - By Heather Mac Donald - The Corner - National Review Online

The fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last month by a neighborhood-watch volunteer was a sickening and — unless new facts come to light — unjustified loss of an innocent life. Unless Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, had reason to believe that Martin was armed, shooting him was a grossly disproportionate response to a fistfight, even leaving aside the fact that Zimmerman had initiated the encounter. If such a shooting is justified under Florida’s broad self-defense law, that law has licensed violence that goes far beyond legitimate self-defense. Every American shares the despair of Martin’s family over this heartbreaking tragedy and supports a fuller investigation (though the entrance of the Feds at this point is premature, absent evidence of Florida’s incapacity to conduct a fair inquiry).

No, there is no such witness account. The closest accounts are of one witness who said he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman in the midst of a scuffle, and another who said they saw Zimmerman sitting on Martin's back just after the gunshot. There's no witness that has claimed they saw how the scuffle started.

I was just reminded of this gem:

Oh brother.

Well, I agree with the brother on this one. I mean, did you see that video of George at the police station just after the whole incident? It was clear from that video that George had just been beaten to within an inch of his life and was on the verge of spending the rest of his life wearing diapers and being spoon fed.
