In reply to the discussion: Major Development in Slain Teen Case [View all]Iliyah
(25,111 posts)11. And the sad thing about
the leaks from the Sanford Police Department is that NRA and ALEC thru Fake News is running with it with the help of a few news outlets, and these assholes are saying and printing it like its gospel. For God's sake, Trayvon can't defend himself. They need to hire a reconstruction expert as well as a voice expert.
Now they are saying that Trayvon was trying to get the gun from Zimmerman, and if they is the case, I truly feel that Trayvon was fighting for his life! Actually, Trayvon was figthing for his life and lost. Zimmerman does have a voice, but Trayvon does not.

There is evidence of that, absolutely, check out the publicly available police report

He could also have conference-called them both at the same time. My phone does that. n/t

Perhaps, but then wouldn't the girlfriend have mentioned that? Seems like a big detail to leave out

We don't have any reason to believe that Trayvon knew that Zimmerman had a gun at that point

Would you give your name??? New Black Panthers would certainly add to the bounty list

Why not? Evidently any black person can be shot on sight in that neighborhood so he's safe

And Travon was killed in a different location that where the altercation took place.

Sounds an awful lot like they have been trying to make a story fit the facts

Nonsense. The police report has been around for weeks - it talks about Zimmerman's injuries.
