Trayvon Martin

[mikesilvia]

Nowhere does it say his making calls to 911 means he's a racist. It says he made repeated calls to 911 specifically about blacks.
That's two different things, man.

Are you honestly going to tell me that people are not stating that he made so many 9-11 calls on African Americans only because they were black? I've seen it at least 5 times a day on TV or in articles. People are saying Zimmerman is a racists for even following Martin and is racists because he only calls 9-11 blacks. None of that is proven, but you will hear Sharpton, Spike Lee and hundreds of people make that the case.

Look at the names you just listed, especially Sharpton, who is clearly a racist himself who tries to act like "the man is against us".

Anything Sharpton, Jackson etc say holds zero credibility.

I wish Sharpton, Jackson, Lee, and the black panthers would go down to the Border town of Laredo, Tx and protest there. I think the Mexico Drug cartel would love to see them down there protesting. I do not see that happening but it would be fun to watch.

I understand that but my contention is that stating anything Zimmerman has to say in a "statement of facts" is not right. He cannot be considered anything but biased.

I understand and agree. I just wanted his side of the story on the record.

Remember how the media stated the police video shows Zimmerman unharmed? Yet again, they didn't do their research.

It does certainly look possible there is an injury there.

It is also certainly possible the screaming was not Zimmerman's. Witnesses say one thing, but voice experts and technology say another:

Of course, this is still all speculation either way. Wouldn't it be nice if we had an actual video of the fight to see if shooting in self-defense was justified. Neither witnesses nor audio experts are 100% concrete proof either for or against ZImmerman's claims.

That's just how it is in most cases. Police work is hard.

The only one of those 911 calls worth listening to is the first one. The rest don't provide anything to the analysis of the case.

WOW!!!

Great news right there. As exposed by Fox News and media watchdog site NewsBusters, the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

Here’s how the actual conversation went down:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

The difference between what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today” version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in responding to such an inquiry.
