Martin was 6'8" and 140lbs... by your accounts, Zimmerman is 5'8" and 250 lbs. You gotta be kidding me.
I've avoided the 911 calls, but Cenk Ugyer just had a segment showing one of the calls had Zimmerman appearing to say 'F****** coons' about Martin when chasing him.

Wonder if Martin in his attack struck zimmerman to the head with his bottle/can of tea. That's clearly cause for grave bodily harm or death from a single blow.
And later in the call he did. And Chief Lee knew that when asked and lied about it. It came out when they released the calls.
To be honest I would not mind if someone was looking out for me and my apt, and if someone is walking around, head covered by a hoodie, and appears to be casing apts, I don't see why a neighborhood watch person should not be able to approach him and ask him if he lives there.
I understand that it was a misunderstanding, but it seems that Tray had the opportunity to explain himself and possibly chose another option.
And if I was a black home owner, I would be terrified that this self-appointed neighborhood watch individual was racially profiling and pursuing children.
Once again, do any of you Zimmerman nuts have reports of anything more than a busted nose and unknown amount of blood on back of head?
Lee said no proof of racial profiling, and the tape confirms that. Zimmerman only discovered his race AFTER the call when Martin approached him and looked at him.
Let's stick to the facts, and not this made up shit, OK? Suspicious behavior is still suspicious regardless of race (which zimmerman obviously didn't know until martin got closer/approached him).
Those tapes prove the facts line up with zimmerman's story/account. Along with all the other evidence as well.
Yeah, nothing racist about that is there? Just ask the people cheering Zimmerman, they'll tell you.
Geez man.
We've all read this crap 100 times.
Zimmerman didn't know when he initially called 911. THE FRICKIN POINT BEING HE DIDN'T CALL 911 (SOLEY) BECAUSE MARTIN WAS BLACK.
Later in the call Zimmerman confirms Martin was Black. Since at the time Zimmerman was following Martin it seems he got a better look at him. Perhaps he even moved his vehicle closer or turned on his high beams.
You are acting like the Chief said Zimmerman did not know Martin was Black when he shot him.

In an interview this week with the Miami Herald, Police Chief Bill Lee said the 911 calls would prove the incident was not a case of racial profiling, because when asked whether the suspect was white or black, Zimmerman did not know. However the recording clearly shows that when asked, Zimmerman said, “He looks black.” And then a few moments later, “He’s a black male.”
The tape confirms that he was racially profiling Martin. When asked what his race was, Zimmerman says I think he's black or hispanic and shortly confirms that he's black. You think if the kid was white, he would have made his 'these assholes always get aways' statement?
Why do you think members of congress are asking the DoJ to investigate this as a hate crime? Why does the sponsor of this law that Zimmerman is hiding behind, say that it shouldn't apply to Zimmerman?
You look good in that dress (no, you don't).
I didn't kill that man (yes, I did).
Not quite.
Edit: If you would, please try to think of a reason WHY the chief would "intentionally" (this is important) lie about the tapes when he knows they will be released soon.
He first says he doesn't know
He first says he doesn't know, then he say the kid stopped and turned towards him.
He finally confirms "Yeah, he is black".
They are investigating it as a hate crime because we have African Americans protesting down here left and right over it. Al Sharpton is also on his way.
If Zimmerman used 'my excellent compatriot', why not 'yeah, he's a '******', why not say 'you cops, better get here and get this '******'
There were tapes making the rounds too with him using the N word supposedly that have never surfaced except in some badly done youtubes.
If you guys haven't checked those out, you should. It's clear most don't agree with each other.

Actually, Zimmerman's first comment in regards to Trayvon's race is "He looks black". That's in the 4 minute 11 second "ZIMMERMAN-911-0316.wav" file I have.

I have no doubt.
You know why none of the media has transcribed these tapes yet right?
Unless the self defense claim can be refuted Mr Zimmerman will have immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action. Also the law is clear that the plaintiff will have to pay for the defendant's legal fees and other costs including lost wages.
Why has his department lied on other occasions? Because maybe they're corrupt. The previous chief was. Read the entire thread and you'll see.
No that statement is clearly racist and was not what Zimmerman said.
Nor did the dispatch say "Sir, you don't need to call him that". These are all fabrications and there are a lot of edited tapes circulating.
Yes, but when you assert that the department "lied" on other occasions, they could be the same as this "lie" that you've mentioned. Again, it's from one source, and it's not even clearly listed as a direct quote in the article (Miami Herald).
