The police never went back to the neighborhood after the day of the shooting to seek other witnesses or gather additional facts. As stated to the town council the Sanford police spent zero minutes on the case after the day of the shooting except for the media press releases. It is absurd that the parents called the Sanford police every day for three days asking about a missing 17 year old black male, and the police department was so incompetent to even link that to "hey we have a black teen gunshot victim over in the morgue". It is also absurd that the police never used the teen's cell phone to contact the family. The ICE contact was available and the phone was not locked. What if there was some evidence on the phone like Martin recording the confrontation?
There are only two sentences in the article quoting the witness. I'm sure they asked him more questions than that. Since the headline says Marting attacked Zimmerman they probably have more they didn't put in the artcle. I don't see a reporters email address or name so it's not possible to contact him or her to get an answer.
Yes and no. Since when is it legal to incite violence or the commission of a felony (kidnapping, murder, assault) with reward? That the Black Panthers offered a bounty on Zimmerman is illegal, and the FBI/DOJ should arrest the parties responsible tomorrow. The FBI won't do squat, and that exposes just another angle to the story and an existing racial undercurrent to Obama's Presidency (shielding black panthers from prosecution for voter intimidation in 08). Maybe the SPD played it right. Maybe not. This media circus and pimpage is doing a lot of harm to the country. I know you're not prone to conspiracies, but look at how the left-wing media jumped all over this story and immediately cast it as a white-on-black "hate crime", where there's at least 10 instances of fact, to the contrary. They're executing a deliberate agenda to foment racial division, in spite of facts to the contrary. Now, what other stories are they doing it for? They did it to Ron Paul. That's for sure. They did it during the lead-up to Iraq. They act like the NDAA, Enemy Expatriation, Presidential Assassination don't even exist. They barely talk about it. What we're watching half the time isn't news. It's propaganda
Can you post a link to where an eyewitness said Martin attacked Zimmerman while he was walking towards his truck
Nowhere in that story does it say the witness said he saw Martin attack Zimmerman when he was walking back to his truck
Or Maybe they didn't put it in there because the witness never said he saw Martin attack Zimmerman while he was walking back to his truck
