Deputies Called to Zimmerman's Home

"I woke up Sunday to Seminole county helicopters right above my sector of the community and I immediately felt very fearful," said Frank Taaffe, who lives at the Retreat at Twin Lakes community where Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.
"It was a scary, scary time," he told FOX35 Friday.
"I ran out to the street and there were nine police cruisers out there - two Seminole and the other seven, Sanford."

I'm confused. Did this occur last Sunday? If so, why are we just hearing about it now?

Well, I'm confused. Which Sunday morning? Last Sunday morning? Or, tomorrow Sunday morning? Or, some other Sunday morning?

And, Taaffe seems to want everyone to believe that he lives right next door to George, but I don't think he does.

It sounds to me like Mr. Taaffe likes his time in the spotlight very much.

I don't know anything about where Zimmerman lived other than what it shows here:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...eading-to-the-shooting-of-trayvon-martin.html

but I can tell you that if the NY Times is correct on Zimmerman's residence, Taaffe does live next door to him.

Okay, I will go back to being totally and completely confused. Remember, the NY Times diagram has North at the bottom, which is kind of a stupid way to do a map, but perhaps that was the best way for the artist to be able to show all the things he wanted to show. With that said, Zimmerman lives in the south west sector of the "Retreat". I have been under the impression that Mr. Taaffe, his friend and 'neighbor' lives in the north west sector, near The Clubhouse.
Taaffe even mentioned once about how he "patrols" his sector. I presumed he meant the sector in which he lives. Oh well.

LOL, I didn't mean for you to have to take my word for where Taaffe lived. I couldn't remember if I grabbed a shot or not, but I did.

I just went back and looked at it and you are correct. I just glanced at the NY Times pic last night when Doc posted it and thought it was the same as the image I grabbed from the Appraiser's site. Good memory on your part. Typical old man's memory on my part, LOL.

I have a question for you that LE had to ask themselves when investigating this case, and the answer they came up with factored into their decision not to arrest GZ. I would imagine the new investigation is looking at the same question. Given the fact that TM took off running, and had a two minute head start on GZ - why do you think TM didn't go home in those two minutes? People only run for two reasons - they are scared of someone, or they are up to no good and think they've been busted.

This is not me taking a side, this is me trying to sleuth the case the way the investigators do - by looking at the facts and leaving emotion out of it. I am sincerely interested in your point of view on this. TIA!

None of this speculation relevant. There can be any number of reasons he didn't go home. It doesn't matter because the real question is not WHERE he ran but WHY he ran and that answer is obvious--he was confronted. That makes Zimmerman guilty--period.

I didn't understand that either. Did the writer have the days mixed up because of the long weekend? I've been thinking that today is Sunday all day, LOL. This doesn't help me. ;)

Oh, I knew I was right but I thought it only fair to try to remain open minded about it, on the off chance that I could be wrong. LOL.

I am right about the location of the body too. (IMO) I believe it was more where you first had it in I think Location #1. And, not the location closer to 2831 Retreat View which I believe is your current incarnation.

I really like your maps and diagrams by the way. I just don't always agree with them entirely. But they are very helpful for visualization purposes.

Trayvon Martin march goes across 40 miles, protesters call for arrest of George Zimmerman

Sanford, Florida - College students from across Florida are marching to Sanford this weekend as part of a movement titled the "The Dream Defenders." They started marching on Friday from Daytona. They plan to arrive in Sanford this Easter Sunday to protest the handling of the Trayvon Martin case.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think that ambulance vid you posted is incorrect as to the body location?
