4. Nah. That doesn't jive well, with the 911 call made by Trayvon.

Presumably, Trayvon called 911 after walking away from the guy. But even if he did. The girlfriend already stated that Trayvon saw the guy and thought he was weird. His girlfriend told him to run and he said he wouldn't run. This is corroborated by Zimmerman's own account of the kid looking at him and then running or walking away from him in another direction. Hence Zimmerman running. Then Zimmerman cuts him off on the way to his dad's girlfriend's house. That would freak me out as a person.

I saw this strange person in a car and I walk away fast to avoid him. Then I see the potentially same man in front of me suddenly. I would see him as a problem. Plus your statement doesn't really work with the 40 seconds of screaming for help before the gunshot. That is not a man being ignored.

I think that however interesting it is to speculate based on gossip and hearsay, we don't know... slackmaster Apr 2012 #6

Aside from the speculation on the confrontation. vaberella Apr 2012 #7

I have a strong feeling that asshole shot the kid in the back Cali_Democrat Apr 2012 #14

Ditto. n/t vaberella Apr 2012 #16

I thought so too but the funeral director said he was Solomon Apr 2012 #17

He also said he couldn't determine entry/exit wound Cali_Democrat Apr 2012 #18

Usually this is true . . . mistertrickster Apr 2012 #20

Is someone DOING an autopsy this time? nt mistertrickster Apr 2012 #21

Key evidence we don't have is from the gun wound. mistertrickster Apr 2012 #19

Here's a graphic interaction showing where Martin was shot. mistertrickster Apr 2012 #22
