Showing Original Post only (View all)The wailing on the 911 call looks bad for Zimmerman [View all]
First of all, it's almost certainly not Zimmerman. A voice expert says it's not him. The surveillance tape in the police station undercuts the idea it might have been Zimmerman. Look how casual everyone is, especially Zimmerman himself. Just moments ago he was wailing away the way we hear on the video? This big dude who worked as a bouncer, who once assaulted a police officer, and who had a gun in his hand was crying for help like that?
No, it was Trayvon making those terrified noises. And Zimmerman shot the boy who was crying for help like that.
And then there's the fact that the police tried to get a witness to change their story about who was wailing. That looks really bad...

So why, oh why - can anyone who assaulted a police officer get to carry a conceeal weapon?

True, but when you take the totality of charges even if dropped, he's unstable. I don't know if any

Wrong. Just because you aren't convicted in a court doesn't mean it didn't happen.

His FATHER IS "JUDGE" Zimmerman, that's why he can do whatever he damn well pleases, including KILL!

In his application for sheriff's academy and excuse for his arrest record, Z uses the term 'judge.'

Father says he was a magistrate judge. They have enough power to subpoena Twitter on Wikileaks

The 911 tapes did it for me. As the mother of two boys, I knew instantly that that was Trayvon.

I'm glad that those tapes were released so that America could hear them. This must stop.

Glad I didn't click. I've heard boys cry in terror and pain and can't take it anymore.

Also if you listen to the recording you can hear the volume change and get louder.

Yup. Waiting for the autopsy report. Betting more and more it shows he got shot in the back.

TRayvon will still be dead....shot by Zimmerman who hunted him down and intiated a confrontation.
