WND: Witness counters Trayvon Martin media narrative; Says 17-year-old was beating Zimmerman before shooting
Since the NAACP (Al Sharpton and others) is treating this like a cold blooded murder, and we are treated to pictures of this young man when he was 9 or 10 rather than as he looks now which is quite different and more ominous to someone, it tends to slant how people feel about this case, and the media has made a circus of it when the facts are not even yet known. The NAACP also voiced concerns about Angela Corey being the lead investigator on the case. http://jacksonville.com/news/crime/2012-03-23/story/naacp-has-some-... And then, of course, Obama has weighed in, and I, for one, am still scratching my head trying to figure out what possible bearing this young man possibly looking like the son he does not have could possibly have on this case..............or even why he felt the need to weigh in on this case at all from the federal level. Now, however, a witness has come forward who has indicated, Mr. Zimmerman had a right to be fearful for his life which throws a totally different light on things, and we will have to carefully watch how this investigation moves forward since this case is now in the national spotlight.
Maybe George Zimmerman did act in self-defense when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, whose death Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida, has been the focus of a media and political circus that even included Barack Obama weighing in this week.
An eyewitness to the incident told police Martin was beating Zimmerman before he shot him.
Zimmerman had called 911 to report the suspicious activities of a youth in his neighborhood, telling the dispatcher that he was following Martin.
On the recording of another 911 call, repeated cries of “help” can be heard before the gunshot.
The witness, identified only as John, says those cries were made by Zimmerman who was on the ground being beaten by Martin.
“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help … and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.
Martin was wearing a gray hoodie, while Zimmerman was wearing red.
“When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point,” John said.
Zimmerman claimed the shooting was self-defense. Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen. Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.
Meanwhile, the attack has been portrayed by most media outlets as a racist, vigilante-style assault by Zimmerman – a half-Hispanic, half-white, self-style neighborhood crime-watch captain – on an innocent role-model black teen-ager carrying only a cell phone and some Skittles.
Obama weighed in on the shooting Friday, saying the incident requires all Americans to “do some soul searching.”

That video has a picture of Trayvon shooting the "bird", giving someone the finger. He deserved to die.

Good for this young man. Thanks for sharing John.

And when did Billie ever go somewhere and hang out threatening and acting like a thug for days or weeks on end all day long?

There is a huge difference between peaceful protest and advocating taking the law into your own hands or making threats like a bunch of vigilantes. The folks we are taling about put a price on someone head. Get real. When did Billie ever do anything like that..............NEVER

And one final thought. John, I gladly walk alone and out of step. Going along to get along always seemed like a pretty cowardly and uninteresting way to lead my life, but hey, whatever works for you.

Tom said that leaders of protest should be arrested. Did he feel that way when it was Billie standing up to protest? Of course not, protest is our right.
But then he said they should be arrested because they were protesting because Zimmerman wasn't arrested. And he wasn't arrested because that isn't how justice works.
What a convuluted mess of thinking that portrays.
To my point: If that wasn't Zimmerman screaming, it had to be Trayvon. That boy screaming for his life as he was being attacked by Zimmerman. Anguished cries of a young about to be executed. Save your outrage for someone more deserving.

Amanda, are you talking about your statements, because if you are, I agree.
-
-
Tom, one of the best examples of reductio ad absurdum I have ever seen.
-

Tom, could not agree more. Cases have taken weeks to be investigated, and trying to hold them to same kind of time limit is insane. Trying to try and convict someone without the benefit of an investigation, arrest, charge of a crime and a trial is even worse. I think it is time for all these folks stirring up things to go home and leave things be until such time as the decision about this has been reached based on the evidence period.

If violence breaks out because of Reverend Shapton and Jessie Jackson and someone is hurt or God forbid killed, all that incited retribution should be arrested and charged accordingly.
I repeat, in America, you are innocent until PROVEN guilty.
It is beyond me how anyone can be judge, jury, and executioner without any personal knowledge of the events that took place.
I believe these "Hate Mongers" need to shut their mouths and wait for the evidence to tell the story.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
