Never doubted your sources for a minute Jim...even the main stream media is being forced to run this story. Eventually the truth always comes out.

I know you didn't doubt me Jim but there are those who called me a racist liar when I reported this. You know who you are.:rolleyes: I doubt there will be an apology when this is all sorted out, do you? Jim

But now the doj is talking about charging him with a hate crime.
And O J Simpson is trying to get a new trail. Due to incompetant lawyers.

"Zimmerman called police the evening of the shooting to report Martin as a suspicious person, police have said. A dispatcher told Zimmerman to stand down and an officer was on the way. Zimmerman confronted the youth anyway and Martin was shot in the chest with Zimmerman's 9 mm pistol, police said. Police questioned Zimmerman, then released him."

This statement from the Huffington Post leaves the question as to Mr. Zimmerman's true intent. This situation would have had a whole different outcome if instructions had been followed.

Not sure I understand your statement. I would think that if Mr. Zimmerman would have stayed in his car as instructed, the situation would have been averted. I would be real interested in what was said by both parties from the time the car door was slammed and the time the trigger was pulled. I assume that we will hear at least one side and never know the other.

I seem to recall(but could be wrong) that Zimmerman was allready on foot when he called 911 when he was instructed not to follow? He then headed back to his car.

That turned out not to be true according to every actual report I've seen or seen quoted, nor is it reported by any actual eyewitness. No witness I'm aware of has said that Zimmerman confronted Martin.

By the way, the transcripts and the recordings that have been published and played have all had one important thing edited out. When the dispatcher told Zimmerman not to continue to follow Martin, Zimmerman answered. The answer was "Okay".

Of course, contrary to how the justice system is supposed to work in this country, Zimmerman is presumed guilty, and must prove his innocence. Funny how that works. Especially with the media, and how they supposedly publish "facts".

I'd trust Dan Rather to tell the truth and get the facts straight before I'd trust "The Huffington Post". At least at one time, Dan Rather was supposedly a legitimate "journalist" or "reporter".

I've seen a massive amount of misinformation and unreported stories in the media in the last few months. Due to the subject matter, however, I cannot say more.
