      Tim Cast is still Live and people are getting ready to go home. San Francisco just rapped their ‘ We Are All Trayvon March’ and Oakland is about to have a small meeting (GA). All in all thus far it has been peaceful and the message got out, that people want Justice in the Trayvon Martin murder case. Detroit is also having marches.

      People stay safe and go home and rest from all the walking.

      Either the police report from the on scene officer is wrong or the police chief is lying. Either way, they made a huge mess of any so-called investigation.

        Not to mention Zimmerman still has his gun, his clothing and not on-sight photos were taken of the crime sight or of Zimmerman. One neighbor said Zimmerman was straddled over Trayvon who was face down…so did he shoot him in the back or did he flip him over to continue attacking him after shooting him? The neighbor then said he said to call police, not an ambulance!?!

        The police blew any investigation they could have done, but more importantly it speaks to what their ‘STANDARD’ is, which is alarming.

    I just listened to these poor parents. Having to listen to their son on that phone tape beg for his life must be absolutely agonizing. I can’t even imagine it. His father said his son obviously saw his death coming right at him. Awful case! Thanks for the pix and vids, BB.

      It’s heartbreaking, Peggy Sue. It’s hard for me to stop thinking about what that poor child went through.

    In all the reports I’ve read it would seem that, if Trayvon Martin had killed Zimmerman he would have had a legitimate claim to invoke the “stand your ground” defense. That Zimmerman is allowed to hide behind it makes no sense at all.
