ZIMMERMAN CONFRONTED TRAYVON. EOTE May 2012 #31

Never suggested he did not leave his car mactime May 2012 #32

He's a murderer because he pursued, with a gun, an innocent, unarmed kid EOTE May 2012 #34

Clearly false, since his car was not in an interior courtyard alcibiades_mystery May 2012 #36

So Trayvon confronted Zippy in his car? Bake May 2012 #47

Not in his car mactime May 2012 #48

"at his car" in an interior courtyard? Then the car magically moved out to the street later? uppityperson May 2012 #51

Tray did not confront Zimmy at his car, unless the car was driven between buildings to the back yard uppityperson May 2012 #50

I don't usually see dead bodies on the news, and I don't think it would add any information anyway. ZombieHorde May 2012 #6

superficial wounds versus a fatal gunshot? perspective if nothing else. spanone May 2012 #8

if mr zimmerman was fearful for his life, he could have jumped in his car and drove off. ScreamingMeemie May 2012 #10

We do know that Zimmerman left his vehicle with a pistol on his person.. Fumesucker May 2012 #19

After being told, "We don't need you to do that." ScreamingMeemie May 2012 #25
