Zimmerman. An interesting perspective from a most unexpected place....

Although this article was found on the Jeff Rense tabloid, Joseph B. Ehrlich expresses a surprisingly clear opinion.

"Let us get to the heart of the claim: that the evidence is that the cries for help came from Trayvon Martin. What would cause the minor to cry out for help in the manner done, the victim, surely reflecting a good dose of hysteria, fear and concern in those cries? How long after hearing those cries was Trayvon Martin shot and killed?"

It is still my belief that this story has been rewritten to many times and as such.....

Dam, I can't wait for the movie.

I would say that the folk here have been fairly open minded.
We express our opinions and sometimes learn from others.

One of the sad things here is this mess has been subjected to trial by media.
The 'facts' appear to be brought forward by the screen writers guild.

That's why I'll wait for the movie.

Man with gun stalks unarmed teenage boy and kills him...Those are undisputed FACTS...Man was told by Police he did not need to follow the teen age boy yet he proceded to do so anyway. Teen age boy ends up dead and it was weeks before police arrested man and charged him with anything...Those facts are not in dispute.

It is a jury that must review this. It is a jury that must decide.
As it should be.
Hopefully this has now been put in motion.

script. That is. it was Zimmerman who said "you're going to die tonight.

I see the author agrees with me. It's the only thing that makes sense.

As a Canadian in south Florida at the moment.... well, there is a definite bias in some I meet..that makes me uncomfortable to say the least..

They get their information from Fox News, I'm sure...

It is just my opinion, but if the forensic evidence etc.. shows Zimmerman to have fabricated his story.. I wonder how many folks here will accept it as the truth.

Edit to say: May be only a few people, but their racial bias is stunning.
