    you want the media to put out more info on your twin brother? here it is

    and you've been saying all along that zimmerman was justified in shooting and killing trayvon because you think he pushed zimmerman right?

    you know that zimmerman was left untouched when he pushed a law enforcement officer in the past. would the law enforcement officer justified if he shot zimmerman right there?

    A report in the Orlando Sentinel today has more information about Zimmerman. The 28-year-old was born in Virginia, attended Seminole State College, and aspired to become a law-enforcement officer, according to the Sentinel. A former neighbor in Manassas, Va., told the news site Zimmerman was “a good-enough kid” when he was younger.

    The Sentinel also reports that Zimmerman has allegations of domestic violence and criminal misconduct in his past. In one case, Zimmerman allegedly pushed a state alcohol agent because he was arresting one of his friends. Zimmerman avoided conviction by entering a pretrial-diversion program, according to the Sentinel. In another case, a woman accused Zimmerman of domestic violence, but Zimmerman filed a petition “of his own” the following day, the Sentinel reports.

    The news site notes that injunctions have kept the cases’ outcomes sealed.

    But Zimmerman had also been effective at times as a neighborhood watchman, according to the Miami Herald. He called 911 to report suspicious activity in the neighborhood nearly 50 times in the last year, the Herald reports.

    “He once caught a thief and an arrest was made,” Cynthia Wibker, secretary of the homeowners association, told the Herald. “He helped solve a lot of crimes.”

    There are indications that Zimmerman may not have been an official neighborhood watchman, however. In a statement, the National Sheriffs’ Association said its Neighborhood Watch Program is to act as the “eyes and ears” within the community and that the “the alleged action of a ‘self-appointed neighborhood watchman’ last month in Sanford, Fla. significantly contradicts the principles” of the program.

    “NSA has no information indicating the community where the incident occurred has ever even registered with the NSA Neighborhood Watch program,” it said.

    actually it wasn't me challenging sjackson0 to a fight, but it appeared to be the other way around.

    sjackson0 has already told me that "i need a kick in the ass" and "don't deserve to be on the earth"

    classy.

    I read it. He wanted you to come to Sharpstown with skittles so you could taste the rainbow and experience some diversity and you asked him if he wanted to fight.

    Did it appear to be or did I challenge you to a fight? We all saw that you actually called me out and asked if I would like to fight you. I feel threaten....I may have to call All Sharpton and CONGRESS WOMAN!!! Shelia Jackson Lee for this. I do not like your tone and feel uneasy right now because of your size, strength and ability to dominate.

    not as intolerant as you have been when it comes to discussing the possibility that zimmermans claim of self defense if b.s. you totally ignore the facts that are out there right now and continue to want more "facts" and complain about media-bias. what bias? is the media biased for posting pics of trayvon martin that did not portray him as a hoodlum?

    i think he is saying that he would like to chase you down, start a confrontation w/ you, shoot you and then claim self-defense.

    and if he did we would need to wait for all the "facts" before making any judgements.

    Wow....Anderson Cooper interview witnesses.

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/anderson-cooper-interviews-witnesses-to-trayvon-martin-shooting/


    On Tuesday’s AC360, CNN’s Anderson Cooper spoke with two witnesses, Mary Cutcher and her roommate Selma Mora Lamilla, who were at the scene of the gated community, The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, Florida, the night Trayvon Martin was shot to death by George Zimmerman.

    “So you heard some sort of whining, some sort of commotion outside?” Cooper asked.

    “We were in the kitchen, with the window open and the blinds pulled. So we had complete view from outside,” Cutcher explained.

    Cooper asked her what was the first thing she saw.

    “By that time, you hear like a shot — like some other noise,” Lamilla described.

    “You heard the gunshot?” Cooper interjected.

    “Yeah, I run away from my backyard and when I just get into the point of my — like my screen, it stopped me, I look at the person on his knees on top of a body,” Lamilla elaborated.

    “So you saw Mr. Zimmerman on top of Trayvon Martin?” Cooper questioned.

    “Trayvon, exactly,” Lamilla said.

    “When you say on top of, how so?” the CNN anchor pressed.

    “Straddling him,” Cutcher replied.

    “His legs were straddling him?” Cooper followed up.

    “One on each side, on his knees, with his hands on his back. I immediately thought, okay, obviously if it’s the shooter, he would have ran,” Cutcher detailed. “I thought he’s holding the wound, helping the guy taking a pulse, making sure he’s okay. When she called to him three times, everything okay, what’s going on? Each time he looked back, didn’t say anything and then the third time he finally said, ‘just call the police.’”

    “But at that time it was so dark,” Lamilla added. “I just saw this person. When she started calling the police, I saw Zimmerman walking with — touching like his hair, like kind of like confused back and forth to the body.”

    Lamilla and Cutcher described Zimmerman pacing around the body, following the shooting, and disputed that there was any indication of a fight.

    Good question......here's an answer for you nincompoop

    THERE WAS NO BLOODY NOSE! The police is lying...Zimmerman is lying and it's all coming out. You can't discredit everyone or can you? The WHITE witness just told Anderson that Zimmerman was on this kids back while he screamed for help. Shot the kid and then started pacing back and forth. HMMMM I wonder what he was thinking about why pacing back and forth like that? Let's see.....an alibi

    No bloody nose....if he did have one, it was probably cause jumping on Trayvon's BACK

    Zimmerman...charged with murder

    Whole Police Dept should be investigated

    And Bigtexxx should stop threatening black posters and asking them to fight.

    I would kindly agree to engage in a debate with you.

    would you prefer childhood photos of the killer Zimmerman in his football uniform to appease you? are you suggesting the bias is created by a police provided photo of a killer who is hiding from the media? Zimmerman's father has had a chance to provide a photo of his son, who he claims is not a racist.

    although he did use the phrase 'f*#king coons'

    Trayvon on the other hand- you keep referring to the old photos from his short life on earth. yes, it's true, the shots from his middle school/early high school years have been used to represent the young boy who was shot dead walking home in his father's fiance's neighborhood, perhaps he didn't have a mug shot from a previous arrest for the media to portray.

    in the wake of his tragic death, his childless mother had to go through the hell of choosing photos of her dead son, one including a photo of an innocent looking boy in a hood. this was probably what Trayvon looked like the night he was shot dead in the streets of his community by a man who was not good enough to join a law enforcement force, by a man who had a previous arrest, and likely by a man who could not defend himself against a much smaller boy standing up for his rights to walk down a street in America in the year 2012 without being the subject of prejudice and racial bias.

    I would like info on the previous 911 calls Zimmerman made- do you have facts on this? what about the racial slur he made? what about the botched police procedure by the Sanford PD, who has been accused of protecting their own as well as racial bias in the past? leading the witnesses, sending a narcotics officer instead of a homicide officer, etc. did they ever find out if the black was high on lean? you were waiting on that fact.

    but go ahead, keep harping on the photos of the dead Trayvon- I mean, how dare the media doesn't have more photos of him looking all menacing.

    The Martin family is totally manipulating the press coverage. The media are just their puppets.

    right telling their story and asking for justice is absolutely manipulating the press coverage. I'm sure they are LOVING the media attention they are getting right now....I'm sure they are hoping that Oprah will have them on her show so they can become famous! The man that shot their unarmed child is free. Trolling and race baiting should be regulated on Clutchfans...seriously

    poor Zimmerman

    All he ever wanted to do was pursue a kid, and kill him...in self-defense.

    why can't they just leave him alone? it's not like he was having sex in public or something.

    I could see Zimmerman getting a bloody nose by virtue of simply being a large, obese man chasing a teenager around and wrestling him to the ground. I'm guessing his weight is one of the reasons he didn't make the police force. Too fat to serve.
