How was Trayvon able to see GZ hidden gun.

Lisa Bloom on MSNBC's Al Sharpton show yesterday made a point.

Using the walk through Z gave to the police, Z clearly shows Z putting his right hand on his right upper buttocks.

She was saying that this is the place that this kind of holster he was using that night would have been.

So, it's tucked inside his pants behind his back. The holster was black as well as the gun, inside his pants behind his back and Z had a coat on.

So tell me pray tell, how could have Trayvon get to his gun if he didn't see it?

Also, if Trayvon was reaching with his right hand and I would assume that the gun handle would be pointing to the small of Z's back.

Answer:

He couldn't because he didn't see it.

The screams were Trayvon, because Z had his gun out.

that Zimmerman was inept and totally incapable of being able to physically defend himself. That said, it makes it more plausible that Zimmerman already had his gun out when he got out of his truck. That would make Zimmerman the aggressive from the get go because a bully is not going to risk get the crap beat out of him. I think that when Trayvon realized that he was being stalked by a gun toting gun he was forced to fight for his life - and lost.

Notice that, despite Zimmerman clearly stating and indicating that the gun was in the back, Omara is trying to claim that the gun was in the front because Zimmerman's story does not fit the defense's narrative in the trial.

ready to draw but not out yet.

Keeping one hand fixed on his gun would
have made it more likely he'd lose his
balance and Trayvon would be able to
get on top.

omara yesterday he was placing his hand on his right hip to demonstrate were he said the gun was. Clearly it wasn't there and the Prosc, should have pointed that out. Maybe they still can.

This was what Z said he did. The gun is behind him.

the blood is flowing to his face. Could have only happened if Z was on top
