Wells Hall Off Topic Board

I'm don't completely understand what you are trying to say.

What do mean by "too much punishment"?

And if all that happened that night was a "temporary chase" I doubt we would be talking about this right now.

Edit: Just saw your edit. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow BEFORE Zimmerman took off on foot.

i'm pretty sure the dispatcher asked him if he was chasing him. then he said yes. then she said "you don't have to do that"

It may or may not be, but I think that's the reality. And he brought it on himself by playing cops and robbers.

And this isn't the first time the guy has acted erratically and violent.

It's a terrible thing that happened, but Zimmerman will live with consequences no matter what a jury says.

At the very least I hope this teaches other people a lesson about the responsibilities that come with carrying a gun and staying in control of the situation you find yourself in. If Zimmerman waits in his car and meets the police as instructed, he's likely back to normal life. But he didn't, so he isn't.

No, the dispatcher asked if he was following (Zimmerman is in his vehicle), he replies in the affirmative, at which point dispatcher tells him they don't need him to do that, and that is when Zimmerman says OK, exits his vehicle and starts the foot chase.

I watched the enhanced video online. It showed zero injuries to Zimmerman.

Holy Moses. That photo was provided by the State!?!

Now you are lying-----everyone saw the cuts on the back of the head when the 2nd version of the video was released.

CNN---1st Grainy video---can't really see anything.

ABC video---clear as day, injuries on back of Zimmerman.

Backpedaling?

Yeah ABC is lying.

Still can't believe he didn't require hospital care that night. Must be a real tough guy.

Absolutely, categorically incorrect. He was huffing and puffing that's why the dispatcher asked if he was following him. And further, the dispatcher specifically told him to " Let me know if he does anything, ok? Just let me know if this guy does anyting else" So there you go, the dispatcher told him to keep an eye on him and let the dispatcher know what he's doing. He then took off running so the only way Zimmerman could follow the orders of the dispatcher let him know what Martin is doing. When the dispatcher then realized he was on foot, he was told he didn't have to. At which point he also followed the dispatcher's command and said OK, headed back to his car and then got jacked. Case closed. Below is the transcript verifying everything I just wrote.

Zimmerman:

Uh, huh.

Something’s wrong with him. Yep, he’s coming to check me out.

He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is. [01:20]

911 dispatcher:

Let me know if he does anything, OK?

Zimmerman:

OK.

911 dispatcher:

We’ve got him on the wire. Just let me know if this guy does anything else.

Zimmerman:

OK.

These ********. They always get away.

When you come to the clubhouse, you come straight in and you go left. Actually, you would go past the clubhouse. [1:39]

911 dispatcher:

OK, so it’s on the left hand side of the clubhouse?

Zimmerman:

Yeah. You go in straight through the entrance and then you would go left. You go straight in, don’t turn and make a left.

He’s running. [2:08]

911 dispatcher:

He’s running? Which way is he running?

Zimmerman:

Down toward the other entrance of the neighborhood. [2:14]

911 dispatcher:

OK, which entrance is that he’s headed towards?

Zimmerman:

The back entrance.

[It sounds like Zimmerman says under his breath, ‘F-ing coons’ at 2:22]

NOTE:

911 dispatcher:

Are you following him? [2:24]

Zimmerman:

Yeah. [2:25]

911 dispatcher:

OK.

We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]

Where was this photo a month ago?

Probably from the same sources who put outvfake photos of Trayvon, which the right, which has to politicize everything these days, ate up.

Glad to see the conservatives and white power movement working so openly together on this case.

yes, it was. However, when Zimmerman was charged I decided to go back to my usual one since the whole thing would have never been an issue if he'd been rightly arrested in the first place after her murdered Trayvon.

Isn't that a muslim behind you?

You remind me of of the mayor in the "Jaws" movies.
