then why in all the 911 calls from the neighbors do you hear Trayvon yelling "HELP" "HELP"??? If he were on top beating GZ up he wouldn't need help.

(14,337 posts)You never know who has a gun and will shoot you. That witness "John" said orignally the red sweater man (Zimmerman) was on top, but then the white hoodie black kid was. In that situation, wouldn't you too still be screaming Help?

(12,704 posts)Several witnesses heard those cries, and there has been a dispute about whether they came from Zimmerman or Trayvon.
Lawyers for Trayvon's family say it was Trayvon, but police say their evidence indicates it was Zimmerman.
One witness, who has since talked to local television news reporters, told police he saw Zimmerman on the ground with Trayvon on top, pounding him and was unequivocal that it was Zimmerman who was crying for help.

That is a load of horse shit. We know Zimmerman followed Trayvon.
We know Zimmerman had a previous arrest fro assaulting a police officer.
We know Zimmerman left the safety of his car to pursue Trayvon against the advice of the police.
Where is Zimmerman's hospital record?
If the police came on the scene and he had been assaulted the police would have made sure he was sent to the hospital.
This is the worst reporting I have seen outside of Faux so called SnewZ.

I've heard he was 6'1", 6'2" and 6'3". I'm gonna guess that 6'1" is probably accurate - and I say this as a mother of a middle school boy who was maybe 5'4" yesterday and is probably 5'5" today (yes, I'm being obtuse, but he grows an inch a week, lately) and 140 pounds.
My son is thin - not skinny - and he still weighs 140 pounds because of his big ole bones.

Which is pretty much the typical FuxNews/Freeper perspective.
