Seems we have some trolls here with some mud for the water. I checked Google and there isn't a 7-11 on Rinehardt. But there is a strip center there with a Boston MKT, so it isn't out of the question one isn't around. In any case, Martin wasn't going to Zimmerman's house, so what he was passing by would be irrelevent to a 7-11 on Rinehart. Google says there isn't one there, but one about 2 miles south. That would be at the intersection of towne center and Rinehart, where there is a Toyota dealer.
also, wasn't it NBC that gave us CNBS?

I am not sure how relevant the skittles/ice tea issue is.
1. When I was 16, I would come up with any reason not to be in the house. If skittles/ice tea was a pass to get out of the house, I would use it regardless of whether I actually got skittles or not.
2. If I was suspended from school for 15 days, my ass would be solidly grounded the entire time. I would have no skittles/ice tea break.

It's very relevant. The reason he was allegedly out of the house was to go get those things and he allegedly had them on him at the time. Either (1) he bought them in which case he hiked ~2 miles both directions in a rainstorm to get them (the original 911 call is made while it is raining), (2) he already had them in which case that's not why he left the house or (3) he stole them in which case the "lily clean" kid isn't so lily-clean. One of the three has to be the case. Which is it? Your second point is spot-on as well. If he was suspended for having a dope pipe and empty bag that used to contain pot, what was he doing out of the house at all? One has to wonder about parents here given that such would be expected to result in an instant "your ass is grounded to your ****ing room" result, no?

Look up Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector, on YouTube. There are a whole lot of videos. I can't think of just one to link. The deliberate subversion of America has been going on for decades, and it is finally coming to fruition now. Aren't we lucky to be living through the end stage. Here's my search result: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu....Just dive in and begin watching.

Many police dept's will treat a dead body as a "Missing Person" if a notification cannot be made to a next of kin or executor. It's possible that some jurisdictions will consider someone a "John Doe" while others may just use the name they believe the person to be, but just list it as tentative or 'believed to be.' Quote:that "burglary tool" is also known as a "screwdriver". surely, there are no legitimate uses for such an implement, which is why it's safe to assume that Trayvon was a prolific criminal. When your a teen and you have in your possession a screwdriver and a mini collection of women's jewelry in an area that has had a problem with break-ins and thefts it is suspicious to say the least.

Anyone on the TF have the authority to get a copy of the Autopsy? Height and weight would be a great start.
As for GZ - the reported 250# was based on a six year old police report, but GZ has lost weight and is now 170# at 5'8". Trayvon OTOH, 6'1" and 180#???

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't his Skittles run supposed to have taken place during halftime of the NBA All Star game?
That's quite a distance to cover during the space between the 2nd and 3rd quarters of a hoops game.

Good question Analog. All I heard in 2008 was if you voted against Obama, you were a racist. Are we setting up for that card again? Calling Zimmerman a white hispanic is another game. The great secret is, there are white hispanics, Black hispanics, Asian hispanics and Mexican/South American Indian hispanics. If most of these hispanics figure out they are merely dark skinned white people, the demographers might have a problem. I'm a dark skinned white guy, as is my mother a dark skinned white woman, both of us often identified as maybe Mexican. Depending on location in the USA, white ethnic groups, like Irish, Italian, German and others have been the group on the outs. The melting pot has consumed most of this distinction and I would suspect the lighter skinned and even native hispanics will be consumed into the melting pot as well, as will the Asians. Blacks will stand out as different for a long time, even though there is a lot of intermarriage. I do believe the vast majority of white people have accepted blacks a lot more than blacks feel they have been accepted. It is human nature to pass the buck for ones situation. You might recall, the Kennedy's had a lot of problems being Irish and the old man never forgot it either.
My problem is the knee jerk from the Commander in Chief. Do we really want a man with his finger so close to the button who responds in a manner to incite what has transpired. Sharpton and that group of pimps should be embarrassed in how they are carrying on in this manner. I don't know anything about Sanford, except to say it looks like a recent suburban creation, based on how Rinehart is developed. In fact, the homes to the south look to be very Plano, Texas.
So, I am sure the root of the problem is black kid shot in affluent area. I can assure you that subdivision where Zimmerman lived wasn't affluent. There are 6 units to the building. Count the driveways. I would guess Spot Steal lives there as well, as in spot it in the day time, steal it at night. This outfit will go next door if they aren't in the mood to go on an expedition. So, I am quite certain people were getting ripped off in that subdivsion all the time. If Martin didn't live there or wasn't visiting someone there, what the hell was he doing there? It would take no more than 3 minutes to cut through the subdivision and I doubt Zimmerman would have had time to see him, if he was merely walking down the street. Night time and rain isn't exactly the time to walk 2 or 3 miles to get an iced tea? The only guy that knows for certain is dead. There is an old saying X doesn't have enough sense to get out of the rain, so likely he wasn't too bright either.

Vonkasebolt wrote..3. The police dispatcher told him not to follow the victim, but Mr. Zimmerman continued any way. THAT IS A TOTAL LIE! When speaking with 911 Zimmerman responded to their question of: Are you following him? by saying: Yes. 911 then responded to Zimmerman: You don't have to do that.
This was NOT: Do not follow him. This was: You don't have to do that. See the difference? In case you can't, the first is a direct order not to do something. The second is being concerned about a neighborhood watchman putting himself into a potentially dangerous situation.

Karl,
If we already have "swung at a bus driver", "12 pieces of woman's jewelry" and "burglary tool", do we have to add skittles and ice tea to the mix?
I do not put much weight on the weed thing but I do put a lot of weight on the others. The other items show that he is aggressive, has no respect for the property of others, elders or authority.
Out of all those, swinging at the bus driver carries the most weight IMO as to what went down that night, since that is the only item relevant to violent behavior.
I do not know the gated community that Trayvon's dad's girlfriend lives at. Some gated communities have a community building with a pool and vending machines. Since what we are dealing with here is vending machine capable items, it widens the scope of possible locations that they could have been acquired.

Von wrote: “7. Since Mr. Zimmerman was clearly the aggressor and the victim feared for his safety, trevon had every right to confront him.
“the victim feared for his safety”
If this were even remotely true, WHY would Travon confront someone he was frightened of? Now I don’t know what house Travon was staying in. What I do know is, that the neighborhood is small enough for Travon to have circled it in 4 minutes. When you say the Victim was stalked, You are implying that Zimmerman could have caught up with Travon if he wanted to. I don’t buy it for a second. Travon was a 17 year old 6 foot 3 inch tall, lean athlete. Zimmerman is a 28 tear old, 5 ft something, out of shape, over weight, pencil pusher. In the 500 yard dash, which is the approximate size of this small community. Who would you put your money on?
The victim feared for his safety when he was knocked to the ground, and the larger assailant mounted him, and began a ground and pound. Now that would scare the s**t out of anybody.
Now that I would believe.

Gated doesn't mean anything if you are not in a car. I think it was an attempt to paint the neighborhood as elitist, which it isn't.
I've been thinking what the least useful symbolic response would be. I bet some politician introduces a bill to outlaw hooded jackets sometime in the next couple weeks.

Karl, this photo alleges to be the gated community of the incident. There appears to be a pedestrian gate. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20....Google maps clearly show a large pool and a unique building which I am going to call a rec building. They could have vending machines there. So you would have to rule that out as a potential source for the items. Edit: relistening to the 911 tape. Zimmerman gives his location at the 1100 block at the clubhouse as the initial point of contact. The other side of the main entrance is the 3000 block. The altercation happened near the rear entrance where Zimmerman said Trayvon was headed. So we need the address of the dad's girlfriend and whether or not the clubhouse has vending machines.
