There is no way a teen says those crappy movie lines. But George Zimmerman, the wannabe cop, would lap up lines like that from movies and, locked in his authoritarian fantasy world, stupidly think putting them in Trayvon's mouth would bolstered his story.

During closing, the prosecution should play all those lines from every B police movie ever made...rapidly, clip after clip, to the jury, to show where George Zimmerman really heard them. (I know they can't, but that's my fantasy.)

Trayvon had his knees under Zimmerman's armpits, but felt the gun with his knee. Isn't that how that best friend described it?

I would like to see someone act that out.
