    Zimmerman was documented wounds, he claimed he was attacked by Martin and there are witnesses to the attack. Other than a fatal bullet wound, Martin had no other injuries.

    For those of you who think Zimmerman had time to make up an elaborate cover story..

    February 26, 2012 7:09 pm – Zimmerman's call to Sanford police begins[85]
    7:12 pm – Trayvon's girlfriend calls him[208]
    7:13 pm – Zimmerman's call to Sanford police ends[208]
    7:16 pm – Trayvon call to girlfriend goes dead;[208] 9-1-1 calls from the neighors begin
    7:17 pm – First officer arrives on scene[12]
    7:30 pm – Martin pronounced dead at the scene by paramedic[12]
    7:52 pm – Zimmerman arrival at police station recorded on video

    He has approximately a minute for the fight and the officer to show up.

    You're oversimplifying this. It matters what happened between the pursuit of Martin and the shot.

    Like the time between when Nicole was murdered and OJ went to the airport?

    Correct, but if it leads to you killing an unarmed minor it might eliminate a self defense plea.

    This thread has kind of gotten boring.

    Need more facts.

    Maybe then it will get interesting again.

    That's just it. I don't live in a gated community. I'd be willing to bet there were more break-ins in my neighborhood in the past 12 months, as well as stabbings, beatings etc. My neighborhood isn't the greatest. Yet somehow we have less 911 calls from our total watch than Zimmerman made.

    Who was the official dispatcher on duty representing at the time of the call?

    That's right, law enforcement authority.

    A dispatcher is not a LEO.

    It appears your neighborhood has an issue. Less 911 calls but more crime. Is your watchman doing his job?

    We have a team of watch persons. They've dramatically reduced crime in my neighborhood.

    Correct. I never made that claim. I asked who the dispatcher was representing in an official capacity at the time of the call.

    That dispatcher was the official representative of the law enforcement attempting to coordinate with the caller and law enforcement answering the call.

    So your logic is:

    1) Call someone a racist.
    2) If someone else says that person might not be a racist, it automatically makes the person who defends the other person a racist as well.

    No way out from that, I guess.
