Ah, Hello, 911.  There is a suspicious guy in my house, I am armed. What should I do?

Sir, leave him alone.

Ok

Oh he's comming toward me!

Hold on we will be there in 20 minutes.


 

A 911 operator told him not to chase, not a cop.  No obligation to follow those instructions.

As part of neighborhood watch, and particularly after prior burglaries, he was doing what the homeowners expected him to do, follow a suspicious person and call 911.

I heard the Hoodie was a 6'3" football player punk.....and the guy that shot him was a 5'9" under 200 lbs guy.  Why does the media put put pics like the guy was a scrawny kid?

And you think Latino's can't be part of some crazy white supremacist bs? These are Floridiots were are talking about here. I've seen it with my own eyes. People believe whatever the brainwash box tells them. Notice all those prepper shows talk about natural disasters, oil crises, and nuclear war. Not one of them mentions a heavy-handed government crackdown on civil liberties which is exactly what we are experiencing right now.

In an interview two weeks after the incident, Chief Lee said witness statements and physical evidence backed up Zimmerman's version of events. He suggested that based on the timing of the call, he believed that Trayvon went out of his way to approach the person tailing him and mouth off.

"If Trayvon has made it that far, and Zimmerman is getting out of his truck, why doesn't Trayvon keep walking?" Lee said. "He's 70 yards from his house. I think based on the timing of the call and Zimmerman losing sight of him, that he had made it to that 'T' (at the end of the path) and was starting to walk towards his house.

"My wish is that he would have kept walking."

No, the MSM isn't "gaming" its reporting to reach a forgone conclusion that Zimmerman is a racist.....

Seems NBC purposefully edited the 911 tapes to be more prejudical toward the "fact" that Zimmerman is obviously racist....

I agree with cougar.the evidence points to a righteous shooting. The rest of this comment is my OPINION.....no one I know who owns a gun likes to shoot people. But this kid got what he deserved. The attitude of black people since obama got elected is at times unbelieveable. Some of them feel above the law. America is being divided by racial lines and everybody who isnt black is losing. I hope Zimmerman seeks Godly counseling. I hope he survives. As for the rest of the black panthers and such......They wont listen to fact or truth even if it sat next to them in their black liberation church. As all liberals.

I hear you guys.

I've pretty much stayed out of this on the mainland boards because so many people seem to like to present opinion as fact. 

I amazed at how one poster will express an opinion or idea as to what might have happened, and the next thing you know, two posts down someone will grab onto that opinion and re-state it as fact.

I am reminded of the 5th grade elementary school "Rumor Game," where the first kid in the class will be told a story and he tells it to the next kid, all the way through the 30 or so kids in the class.  By the time the last kid retells the story, it has been completely distorted.

I, too, would like more facts.

Not opinions misrepresented as facts.
