He also stated the police never showed up ontime to catch his "suspect," so he took the law into his own hands. ---------------------------------------- That's the liberal media and activist version of what transpired. Obviously you have jumped on the bandwagon and embraced it. Unfortunately, it just isn't borne out with the facts, including the transcribed initial telephone call Zimmerman made to the dispatcher. Zimmerman didn't call the police to report that a black kid was walking through his neighborhood. Read the transcripts of the phone call. They aren't speculation or "made up". Yeah, he didn't say "black kid." BFD. He saw a kid walking through the neighborhood, the kid was black, and Zimmerman therefore thought he was about to commit a crime. ------------------------------ His first words we "Hey, we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy-- it's Retreat View Circle. The best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about." Keep in mind that initially Zimmerman didn't know if Martin was black or not. The dispatcher asked if he was white, black or Hispanic. Zimmerman answered, "He looks black". Later, when Martin approached Zimmerman's car, he (Zimmerman) confirmed Martin was black and gave an approximate age. Point is ... he didn't "target" Martin because he was black, as much as you and others would like to think or claim that he did. Also keep in mind that his neighborhood is considered a high crime rate area .... 8 or more documented home invasions/burglaries in 14-15 months. We rarely have one every two or three years in the area we live in. |
