The Trayvon Martin Case

[GoBama#1]

SIAP
But didn't the cops take him to the hospital first? If that's true, then the hospital probably cleaned him up - at least, the ones I usually frequent don't let you leave all bloody and stuff.
As for bruises and broken noses - bruises almost never show up until more than a few hours later, unless they are severe (from my experience), and if a broken nose is ear to ear you would see it immediately; if it was like any of mine, they were more obvious hours after the fact.

I keep hearing that he was treated at the scene, no hospital trip involved. Of course that's a real important detail so that's something that needs to be clarified. Medical records are not public so if he was taken I doubt we see anything made public as far as details go.

Time to google if Zimmerman was taken to the Hospital.

Another thing I'd like to REALLY know is the call sequence on the phone. Was he REALLY talking to his girlfriend at the time, is she REALLY a witness?

I mean, I do find it amusing that news organizations go to incredible lengths to undercut Zimmerman's story (which is their job), but you can't get them to do ANYTHING about Martin.

Their job is to TELL THE FACTS - not TELL US WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK about the facts.

Everything I've read says no.

Several news sites were forthcoming about his troubles at school, but it takes a blogger to dig up the dirt from his social media.

The police were quoted in an article linked earlier in this thread saying that the phone records corroborate her story - she was on the phone at the time. They matched the phone records with the times of 911 calls, etc.

Every watch Fox or listen to CBS radio? They have been digging for, and reporting, anything that they can find on Martin since Obama came out against Zimmerman.

Why in the heck would our POTUS make a comment on a homicide investigation? Furthermore, it is beyond ridiculous for the POTUS to take sides on an investigation...

I didn't see it, but I don't think I've read them all.

However - that means you can throw any "conspiracy theories" of racist cops right out the window.

Re: Birmingham makes Trayvon Martin an honorary citizen

No. On this whole stupid mess. You would think we would all learn. I mean, what does Birmingham do if this turns out like the Duke Lacrosse case?

Then a big part of B'ham will likely go up in flames. But who would care?

We don't want the man in charge of the Executive Branch of our government - the man at the top of the Justice Department - to have an opinion about these things?

Not sure how the one brings you to the other? :conf3:

he can't talk about black people without playing the race card

A. The President shouldn't discuss sensationalized media pushed stories as if he is a part of the "talk show" mentality.
B. The President should have a strong opinion on national discussion based issues, but he should do so without using emotionally charged, "if I had a son he would look like Trayvon", type of discussion.

Naw. NYBF has a black son and therefore knows first hand what it is like to be chased by racist cops. He wouldn't be speaking in the abstract.

Oh, come on! NYBF was once shot and killed by a racist latino, but due to his enormous wealth, fame and (ahem) other parts, he was saved by a secret US Government project to protect those of extreme value.

He laughs at your example.

NYBF has mated at least once with every race. he is planning ahead for dominance in a post-racial dystopia

He has to take sides to help raise campaign funds. His campaign was selling Obama Hoodies but once Limbaugh got after him his campaign people backed off and suspended sales 2 days ago.

Yeah, Trayvon isn't even Muslin.

Yeah, Trayvon isn't even Muslin.

He probably also has a non-forged birth certificate.
