Exactly, suzihawk! Wolfinger didn't even have time to have listened to the 911 calls (even Zimmerman's), or know the witnesses' statements when he made the decision. IMO, Wolfinger did not take enough time to make an informed decision.
MOO
There is no proof that TM attacked GZ. GZ said he was walking down the cut through path when TM attacked him and knocked him down. But TM's body was found yards away from where GZ said TM attacked him. If GZ's account is right about being knocked to the ground at that location how is he going to explain the distance to where TM's body was found when GZ claims he shot TM and TM fell backwards to where he landed. Fell backwards from a sitting position and landed facedown??? What we can see just does not match up with what we hear from GZ's side. In order to maintain GZ was not aggressively going after TM he claimed to have only walked that path to find a house number even though his car was parked where there are many house number visible. His claim is TM jumped him and knocked him down while he walked back on that same path after getting a house number but TM's body was found yards away.
Had LE done a proper investigation their conclusion would have been that the crime never happened according to GZ's statement. They were no where near the crosswalk that GZ claims TM banged his head on. There is a big hole in his story right there. This is something you just can't explain away. jmo

Due to GZ heading him off at the pass....
I believe GZ ran straight into TM..all the while setting it up on the 911 call when GZ stated, he's staring at me, he's headed towards me....I call it BS and he did this to set up his own actions...I also believe his intent was not to let another *advertiser censored**hole get away...set up in his first 911 call....
So, do you think if Zimmerman had encountered the young man up close and determined the young man was white or hispanic, Zimmerman would have apologized and told him to go on about his business?
One major question stands out in this situation...eight minutes between when Zimmerman called 911 and when Trayvon was shot...with a running head start a few hundred yards from Brandy Green's home, why didn't Tray make it there safely?
I think GZ's speach sounded slurred ???
Nope. I don't think he would have been following him in the first place.
How do we know TM was running all that way? And how do we know GZ wasn't running, too?
he's looking at me

If your chid was Trayvon what would they have done???????
If my child was walking home from a convenience store on a sunday night with their skittles and tea----if they were being followed and eyed by an unknown man in a car, their initial thought would not be that they were going to be robbed----they would think this guy is a pervert. They would have felt they were in danger of being abducted!!!!! They too would have walked faster.....they wouldn't run initialy. They would save their energy to run for their lives later. What would trigger them to run- the guy stopping and getting out of his car...Thay would imply emminent danger to them. And, if they lost sight of the stranger but he suddenly appeared on the sidewalk in front of them------they would punch him in the nose or in the balls and they woiuld try to run like hell!!!!!! They would probably also scream help or fire!!!!! They would do this because I taught them to do this.
So why is everyone dising Trayvon for protecting himself. If the car was a police car my kids would have responded to questions but they wouldn't get too close until they had seen an ID. If the car was labeled NW they would have responded verbally but they still wouldn't get too close. Ki8dnappers have impersonated people of authority before -----why children would want an ID-----I taught them this. So you can't have it both ways. If we teach our children to be leery of strangers.....why would Trayon approach a stranger????????
He WAS 17 BUT HE WAS STILLA CHILD

Gainesville man beaten after men shout Trayvon
The man was walking home from midtown bars in Gainesville Tuesday morning when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who yelled "Trayvon" before the attack.
First part: Based on what?
I don't know, but since you brought it up perhaps you could give us your estimate?Second part: how long to WALK from one entrance of complex to the other?
I strongly disagree that there are some special 'blacks only' rules at play here. IMO, MSM and race baiters have turned this into a race issue. I don't think TM was a bad kid or that he deserved to die. I also don't think GZ is a racist. I think GZ should have been arrested but I can see where Florida's laws might have prevented it. This case is setting us back years. It's not about the facts, it's about black and white.
If I had a son, he would not look like Trayvon, but that doesn't stop me from wishing he was still here or being completely heartbroken for his momma...

What physical evidence proves that TM attacked GZ first?
The police report recounts GZ's version of events that night. It's not as if the police were there and witnessed the whole thing.
Is this Trayvon's legacy ? This needs to stop. TM wasn't killed because he was black.
Was GZ taking classes in criminal justice at one of the local colleges at the time of the incident? Wonder if anyone connected to SPD taught there??
There was also the eye witness report
