99. Unless someone actually saw what PRECEDED the shooting, it's still not proof of anything.

Mar 2012

Another witness saw Trayvon on top and yelled for him to quit it. He went inside to call the police but before he could, shots rang out and when he looked out the window, GZ was over Tray's body

But since you like these news stories, here's one from yesterday evening during RUSH HOUR (not middle of the night) on the South Side of Chicago. Actually, there was more than one shooting, but this one wounded five and killed one in a convenience store. The two thug shooters WORE HOODIES! Imagine that! I never heard of criminals doing so! http://www.suntimes.com/11613495-417/two-killed-11-wounded-in-thursday-shootings.html

So I am awaiting the instructions from Operation Push on where the rally will be held for these poor victims. As President Dreamboat instructed, I'm gonna put on my marching shoes...

I'm not following. Please clarify. hlthe2b Mar 2012 #1

I read there were no photos of the crime scene. robinlynne Mar 2012 #76

that's cause he's trying to cash that check before the stop payment is issued CatWoman Mar 2012 #72
I'll bet these witnesses told the police what they saw on that day. robinlynne Mar 2012 #78

He's anonymous for now. They even changed his voice for his protection but he's given his Ecumenist Mar 2012 #11
Thank heavens... I just hope there is no way for his credibility to be put in question... hlthe2b Mar 2012 #14
He's going to go into a more in depth interview on his show tonight. Ecumenist Mar 2012 #15
Actually, it makes the video make sense now. That's why there's no blood on his clothes. Ecumenist Mar 2012 #17
I'm only guessing but I think it might be the other guy on the 911 phone call TrollBuster9090 Mar 2012 #59
Yeah it did, take place close to their home. You're probably correct. It's the person Ecumenist Mar 2012 #61
Yes, I heard that while listening to the tapes. He also Blue_Roses Mar 2012 #90
That was a different tape than the one with the Fawke Em Mar 2012 #93
Isn't it disgustingly obvious what this "man" meant to do AND did? Ecumenist Mar 2012 #95
there were 8 911 calls. there are probably several witnesses who at least heard everything. robinlynne Mar 2012 #79
Why is this witness just coming forward? It has been over a month. n/t RebelOne Mar 2012 #18
Apparently, he's not just come forward. We're just finding out about him. Ecumenist Mar 2012 #19
so how did his head get bashed on cement? grasswire Mar 2012 #20
EXACTLY...IT DIDN'T!! Explains why it doesn't appear to look as if that happened Ecumenist Mar 2012 #22
I wonder if he said that because he had a heads up about this witness telling his story Ecumenist Mar 2012 #23
Doesn't this make it seem like Judge Daddy is lying to cover up K8-EEE Mar 2012 #28
Yep, it does. Considering that this makes 3 witnesses who say that GZ was ON TOP Ecumenist Mar 2012 #31
It's possible. USArmyParatrooper Mar 2012 #33
Considering the EXTREMELY SHORT period of time between the shot and when mary Cutcher Ecumenist Mar 2012 #35
I'm not sure what that has to do with it. USArmyParatrooper Mar 2012 #39
The reason I ask the question is because according to at least 3 witnesses, Trayvon was face down Ecumenist Mar 2012 #42
If true (and I'm not doubting it) USArmyParatrooper Mar 2012 #44
That's what I'm saying. I don;t understand how he could have shot him in the chest Ecumenist Mar 2012 #46

BAM! Aerows, this is what I was saying from the beginning. How could he not have Ecumenist Mar 2012 #96

Could this witness tell if Trayvon was facing upward or lying face down? MagickMuffin Mar 2012 #40
Yes, he saw GZ on top of trayvon and when Gz got up after shooting trayvon, Ecumenist Mar 2012 #43
Well it sure appears that GZ "wasn't going to let him get away" and that GZ went a hunting MagickMuffin Mar 2012 #52
Honey, that' quite alright, you're not doing anything but telling the truth. Ecumenist Mar 2012 #53

Not necessarily - the father had no first hand independent information karynnj Mar 2012 #38

I'm not saying the denial is logical or reasonable karynnj Mar 2012 #74
