Here you go.

"Run an errand." "Going to the store."

Not "on patrol."


Quote:
On February 26, volunteer civilian watchman George Zimmerman got in his SUV to run an errand.
Quote:
"George was going to the store. He saw someone in his community that he did not recognize as living there. Because there had been a lot of break-ins in the area, he thought that was suspicious," Robert Zimmerman told HLN affiliate WOFL-TV in Orlando.

Correct. What I have been saying from the beginning. I do not buy the "Zimmerman was a pedophile" theory. No one has made a logical or intellectual argument for it yet.

Would you care to make a case for it?

And while you are at it, are there any theories you hold where Martin was at fault and Zimmerman was justified in killing him in self defense? Or have you also just decided Zimmerman is guilty before he has had his day in court and without all the evidence? Have you made any posts with theories showing how Zimmerman could be innocent?

There is no evidence Martin thought he was a pedophile. The purpose of introducing the term is to smear Zimmerman but you knew that already. It is on par with the claim Martin was a child.

Wouldn't be great though if you could find some news outlet that wouldn't use little subjective tricks like the above. An objective news story, just imagine.

Actually I just read one. Remember how ABC got caught lying, and had to fire three news staff? They have to tell the story objectively now.

It's interesting that when they do tell the story like actual reporters it turns out pretty much everything to Zimmerman's side of the story can be corroborated.

Don't believe me? Read it.

Cops, Witnesses Back Up George Zimmerman's Version - ABC News

Zimmerman said the guy looked like he was on dope. The autopsy shows THC in Martin's bloodstream.

Zimmerman says Martin was on top. Two witnesses saw Martin on top. They also heard Zimmerman screaming.

The report says the father told the cop he couldn't identify the screams as his sons when he was first given the tape to listen to. It was later when he heard the cleaned up version he changed his mind and was sure it was his son.

Zimmerman says they were in a struggle for the gun. The autopsy report says close range.

It goes on like that.

No. Bad thing. Both would be alive if he hadn't.

No. You don't get to project. Zimmerman could have ended up dead or in a coma or just got the sh*t beat out of him. Lots of options there. The gun provided the possibility of two of those not happening. That's the purpose of defending yourself.

The Department of Justice (i.e Eric Holder) is perfectly willing to go after a neighborhood watch guy who was defending him self from an attack by a teenage thug, yet it is unwilling to look into New Black Panther Party members participating in voter intimidation at polls in Philadelphia or worse it is trying to cover up the gun buying scheme that is known as Fast and Furious. Both F&F and the Zimmerman case are their attempts to attack the Second Amendment and the latter is also an attempt to stir up racial division. Holder should go to jail.

This is what Martin looked like on the night he was shot.
