Jesse Jackson: Post-Trayvon Martin environment in Florida is 'toxic'

[John2]

15. I think you can get a better

picture if you listen to exactly how the conversation went with Zimmerman and the 911 responder. I think it was a give away. I think what was said,Zimmerman was already a distance away from his vehicle when he got out and ran after Martin. He claimed Martin disappeared when he already had left his vehicle and had to give directions to the 911 taker.

Apparently his vehicle was near the entrance and near some mail boxes. Zimmerman claimed Martin was at the other end of the street when he cut through some houses or something. Zimmerman claimed that he didn't know the address of the apartment or street that he was at and he gave the operator the directions and location where his vehicle was located.

The operator also asked him if he lived in the area. Zimmerman gave an affirmative and the operator asked him if he wanted to meet the police at his house. Zimmerman gave another affirmative and began to give out his address but stopped. His excuse was that he thought Trayvon was still close by and might overhear the address. That suggested to me Zimmerman didn't stop following Trayvon. he told the operator to tell them to call him back when they get in the area, so they would know where to find him.

It suggests to me Trayvon thought he might had lost Zimmerman and stopped running as soon as he did, only to see Zimmerman again, while speaking on his cell phone.

That is what makes Jeantel's testimony so important but she is inconsistent. She says one thing on the stand under oath, and then gives interviews, bragging about the masculinity of Trayvon whipping Zimmerman's ass. That only plays right into the defense's version. She needed to tell the truth and stick to it, instead of jumping all over the place. She made a claim that Trayvon circling back to beat Zimmerman's ass was a Black thing. That was ridiculous and only stereotypes Black males as violent. Why would trayvon circle back to kick someone's ass when he tried to lose him in the first place by running?

If that is her story now, then she committed purgery on the stand, because she didn't claim that in the Trial. I don't know why the prosecution never called any of Trayvon's other friends to testify to his character, because he doesn't seem like a person that was violent at all. I'm talking about his coaches, teachers and the school kids that he volunteered to help at school social events. I would include his teammates, because they put this kid's character on trial.

The things on his social media accounts with face book or twitter, can't be proven or have no evidence, those events ever happened in real life. He had no criminal record of violence or even school records of fighting. Kids of his generation try to present a tough guy immage all the time, because they find it glamorous and it impresses their peers. I bet Jeantel probably don't even know if Martin ever beat up anybody.
