if he didn't know the guy, i'd think he still would. *anyone* walking around the back alleys of the houses, peeking in windows - primse suspect.

but fair point and i see where you're coming from.
Where did the back alleys stuff come from? I didn't see it in the transcript of the 911 call.

Where did the back alleys stuff come from? I didn't see it in the transcript of the 911 call.

Three weeks prior to the shooting, on February 2, 2012, Zimmerman called police to report a young man peering into the windows of an empty Twin Lakes home. Zimmerman was told a police car was on the way and he waited for their arrival. By the time police arrived, the suspect had fled. On February 6, workers witnessed two young black men lingering in the yard of a Twin Lakes resident around the same time her home was burglarized. A new laptop and some gold jewelry were stolen. The next day police discovered the stolen laptop in the backpack of a young black man, which led to his arrest. Zimmerman identified this young man as the same person he had spotted peering into windows on February 2.[63]

the back alley one is something his father said, so i can't verify that beyond an angry dad expanding on the situation.

where were they found, w/martin shot? in the front of houses, or behind? i'll have to go back to the pics.

No kidding. I am not sure why so many hate Hispanic Jews.

Zimmerman said he was running... not sure what you're getting at with this.

Are you of the impression that Trayvon was running towards Zimmerman?


No. That he ran around a corner. Or that he came back, as Zimmerman stated. If Martin did run with the intent to flee, while Zimmerman was still on the phone with 911 operators for a few more minutes, how on earth did Zimmerman ever catch him?

A case between a hispanic and an african american. Oh the big racists like hispanics. Gotcha.

from the pic, it looks like there's just a sidewalk behind 2 rows of apartments/condos.
A few thoughts...

1) Was the place where Trayvon was shot the same place as where George initially saw him?

2) If there's a sidewalk, then that's not suspicious behavior at all. One of your posts was about him not being on the sidewalk or on the street.

3) This is the first time I've really noticed pictures of the neighborhood. Was this really a "gated community?" It looks like an apartment complex, which I guess can be technically gated, but not at all what comes to mind when I hear the term "gated community."

That's not what the 911 call transcript says.

And Trayvon told his girlfriend that he had lost the man, but that he had suddenly appeared again.

"He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," Martin's friend said. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run, but he said he was not going to run."

Eventually, he would run, said the girl, thinking that he'd managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.

"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again, and he didn't answer the phone."

Some other circumstantial evidence of George's mindset....

What may raise flags with the jury would be the multiple calls Zimmerman made in the weeks and months leading up to Martin’s death. Several were played in the courtroom without the jury present in the prosecution’s efforts to bring them into testimony. The calls featured Zimmerman mentioning recent break-ins and alerting authorities of African-Americans in the gated community where he lived. The judge has not yet decided if the calls will be permitted.

1) i'm not sure but it is a good question.
2) if on the sidewalk, then not an issue at all. but zimmerman said he was walking slowly, not even trying to get out of the rain and looking in the windows of houses. from what i understand, (read today so would have to find again) zimmerman saw martin looking in that house before.
3) supposed to be gated, but it does look like a long row of condos and the back doors face each other. but since there's no street here that we can see, i would have to think they were not right next to his SUV.

it could be the sidewalk under his finger is close to where zimmerman parked and it does go behind 2 sets of condos that back up to each other. since the sidewalk is there, no big deal martin is walking down it. but if he's getting off the sidewalk onto peoples back yard and looking into windows then black, white, hispanic, martian, why?
