An amazing video detailing the murder of Trayvon Martin

[Soundman]

42. Wow, long video. I tend to agree with

Grok. All I have known about this case until i watched the video has been message board Talk. I learned quite a bit from the video, even if it was done to portray Trevon as innocent.

I am now officially intrigued. Here are my thoughts, observation and questions, in no particular order.

What is "it" that "they" always get away with? Toilet paper in the pool? or robbery? Cutting through the complex regularly?

I believe if Zimmerman wanted a conflict he had an early opportunity for it. He could have told the dispatcher that Trevon was coming at him, and said oh no, no, no. Hung up his phone and proceeded to mow Trevon down (in self defense).

Why didn't Trevon acknowledge Zimmerman after he drove by him and was looking at him funny? I live in backwoods USA, eye contact and a wave is first contact around here.

I am skeptical of the girlfriends story it just doesn't add up. Far too many episodes of the first 48 have shown me how convincingly people lie Using an element of the truth. What I heard was a story where Trevon confronted Zimmerman. Saying he wasn't running any more and seemed to approach Zimmermanm calling him an old man. Not exactly the words of a nice little skittle eating teen ager out for stroll in the rain in my opinion. Here in backwater USA those are pretty much fighting words.

Her story also falls kinda flat about the blank spot after Trevon out ran Zimmerman. What did Trevon do after out running him? I thought she said he was almost at his dads, seriously, how long would that take? 30 seconds maybe? My best guess? Martin doubled back and confronted Zimmerman, probably trying to look bad ass to his girlfriend. Or maybe didn't want to go inside yet and didn't see Zimmerman until he turned a corner. At that time he was out of options and handled the situation poorly. Was it still raining at this point? He used the word old man, again not a word used to describe a person you see as threat.

I have heard plenty of men scream like children/girls when fighting. Kinda weird actually. You wouldn't think a grown man would sound like that, but some do, so can some teenagers as well.

I am going to go read what Zimmerman said happened and see where the discrepancies are in his story.

So far based on the video it seems to me this case is the perfect shit storm of dumb ass behavior by two people. One ended up dead, and the other is scarred for life.

At this point i would say If Zimmerman is guilty of a crime, and I say if, it seems to be nothing more than involuntary manslaughter. I am basing this on what I have seen on the video. I am keeping an open mind until I learn more though.
