    Post the full 911 transcript, here is part of the 4 minute call.

    911 dispatcher: Are you following him? [2:24]

    Zimmerman: Yeah. [2:25]

    911 dispatcher: OK. We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]

    Zimmerman: OK. [2:28]

    911 dispatcher: Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]


    George chased Trayvon because he was looking to be a hero and things went sadly wrong.

    With that said, Travon was concerned about his safety so there's no way Zimmerman can claim self defense, he initiated everything.

    Trayvon was a black man with a hoodie and Zimmerman wanted to feel important.

    You believe Zimmerman targeted Martin because of his skin color?

    Possibly- he profiled him. With absolutely no evidence he concluded that he didn't belong there and that Martin was up to no good. He followed him - and the tapes showed his agitation (as evidenced by his remark "F**king punks- goons- coons" - take your pick with Martin before he even talked to him.

    You think that if maybe he just said something to Martin like "can I help you?" that this wouldn't have happened?

    Just like he said... he didn't want another one of "those" people getting away with something. This time it was walking down the street. How dare that person walk where George didn't like it!

    I don't know the circumstances of course. I do not know Zimmerman or Trayvon.

    It could be that Z has had his home robbed and he was over-reacting as a result of fear.

    He surely was racially profiling Travon, there is no doubt.

    Listening to the 911 tape tells me that he got himself all worked up to the point where he had so much adrenalin moving through his body that he couldn't get a handle on reality.

    Maybe he was in a full blown panic attack and couldn't get ground under his feet...but at the end of the day, he is fully responsible for the outcome and needs to pay for it.

    I believe it is manslaughter.

    This has got to be the most flagrant attempt at rave whoring I've ever seen on this site. Unbelievable that you would stoop as low as to use a story like this to garner some virtual ticks.

    You do realise that Sodahead raves will get you nowhere in the real world don't you? How do you sleep at night, with one eye on your notifications? you disgust me

    Alright I have read and heard some very interesting things about this case and people's opinions on it. Here is what I gathered so far.
    1. This case should not be about race of any kind.
    2. Zimmerman was obviously following Trayvon close enough that Tray noticed him.
    3. Zimmerman clearly went against what the dispatcher told him not to do, and that was to stop following Trayvon.
    4. He was obviously within talking distance of Trayvon if a fight broke out.
    5. Apparently Trayvon can kick some ass, if Zimmerman had to shoot and kill him to defend himself.
    6. What people are forgetting is that this man shot and killed someone's child, that alone should have had him in jail up until trial.

    Think about it. You are a kid walking home it's cold out you have your everyday hoodie you like to wear on, listening to your music like always walking a street you probably did a hundred times before. All of a sudden you notice some Guy following you. You ask him what his problem is? why is he following you? Then hear comes the tricky part. He (Zimmerman) asks what you're doing walking around here? Your response goes like None of your business?
    Tray and Zimmerman trade words then that is when Zimmerman flashed his gun or Tray saw the gun. And that is when fear and survival instincts kick in. Fig...

    Tray and Zimmerman trade words then that is when Zimmerman flashed his gun or Tray saw the gun. And that is when fear and survival instincts kick in. Fight or flight. I can tell you one thing though that if Trayvon was physically fighting Zimmerman there could be no way he would have been calling for help while still attached to Zimmerman. That means he would have been already on the ground or several feet away when Zimmerman pulled the trigger.

    Filed under: "The longer this goes on, the more it paints it as a "While Black" incident.

    http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_...

    Two seperate experts testing the recordings of the cries for help stating for the record that the person calling for help WAS NOT ZIMMERMAN.

    Gee,... how much further does it go before someone can believe the teen didn't deserve to be killed? It wasn't enough that he had a place to go in that "gated community" It wasn't enough that he RAN from Zimmerman, Now in addition to video that showed a relaxed clean Zimmerman w/o a bloody or broken nose, with no blood on his clothing from himself or the teen,... we have people going over the audio and blowing holes in the statements of Zimmerman and the first cop on the scene That Zimmerman was calling for help. Nope - it wasn't Zimmerman.

    Sigh.

    exactely..George isn't even white for gods sakes. Take the hoodie off and stop acting like a gangster and all this would not have happened...I am still holding judgement until all the facts are out. Zimmerman in my opinion thought he was doing the right thing...turned out to be the wrong thing !! I don't believe this had anything to do with race.

    Whatever his ethnicity is, he's still a racist. But more than that, also a psychopath. This has nothing to do with race wars and everything to do with this person, Zimmerman, who chased an unarmed person behind some buildings who posed no threat to him or anyone else and wound up shooting him.

    I don't see that he had good intentions at all.......

    That being said, I don't have the whole story.

    Why do nutjobs insist on trying to distort the facts? Pay attention. The tape proves what I'm saying. Trayvon did nothing and you are saying he did. Why? For spite?
