But your telling us how you think it went and trying to say Martin didn't attack.
Your trying to paint it as Zimmermans fault
Zimmerman was trained
He knew how to approach people and they had been trained for that.
It's a lot more likely Zimmerman was doing
what he was supposed to do than it is that a 17 year old thug

Again. you're assuming that Trayvon wasn't defending himself. You have no clue who hit who first. This is very clear.
50 years ago they would have given him a medal, now they want to put him in the pen. We're going downhill fast.

Zimmerman:
Um, if they come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the clubhouse and, uh, straight past the clubhouse and make a left and then go past the mailboxes you’ll see my truck. [3:10]
911 dispatcher:
Alright, what address are you parked in front of? [3:21]
Zimmerman:
Um, I don’t know. It’s a cut-through so I don’t know the address. [3:25]
911 dispatcher:
OK, do you live in the area?
Zimmerman:
Yeah, yeah, I live here.
911 dispatcher:
OK, what’s your apartment number?
Zimmerman:
It’s a home. It’s 1950 – oh, crap, I don’t want to give it out – I don’t know where this kid is [inaudible] [3:40]
911 dispatcher:
OK, do you just want to meet with them at the mailboxes then? [3:42]
Zimmerman:
Yeah, that’s fine. [3:43]
911 dispatcher:
Alright, George, I’ll let them know you’ll meet them at …
Zimmerman:
Could you have them call me and I’ll tell them where I’m at? [3:49]
Why didn't he want the police to meet him by his truck if he were headed there? Why did they have to call him to find out where he was?
Now I guess I have to find the report of where Trayvon was found because my memory doesn't say he was by Zimmerman's truck.
He stated in the transcript he had cut through and didn't know the address...
He began to give the address to the operator but decided against it for fear that Trayvon Martin was within audible distance and would pursue him or harass him.
YOU posted the answers to your own questions...

Umm NO.
They asked George if the police could meet him at the mailboxes to which George replied yes at first. Then later when the dispatcher was verifying that George would meet the police by the mailboxes...George asked could the police call him and he'd let them know where he was?
If he was going to be by the mailboxes and not still following Trayvon he would not have needed them to call and verify his location.

Not really, Zimmerman was a proven lier and he couldn't even get his statement straight with the cops as it changed over time.

What does the color of his skin have to do with it?
Are you a racist?

Read the thread and find out, you'll see a ton of racially motivated statements about Trayvon.
Are you a racist?
Nope. But a rather large portion of Americans are.

An opinion article is not proof of someone being a liar. You are merely slandering him based on your own opinion.

First you state I can’t know by looking at a map

I think I will go there in next few days and take a few pictures of the area to post here and that should stop most of this nonsense.
That article is so clearly biased and trying to make something out of nothing it is ridicules.
In that first taped interview with Sanford police Investigator Doris Singleton, Zimmerman said that when he and Trayvon came face to face on that sidewalk, Trayvon said, "What the [expletive][is] your problem, homey?"
During the next 24 hours, Zimmerman's version of what Trayvon said would change slightly, becoming less offensive with each telling.
In another interview later that night, he told Investigator Chris Serino that Trayvon said, "You got a problem?"
During the re-enactment the next afternoon, he told police that Trayvon yelled, "Yo, you got a problem?"
t
•He had said that during their struggle, Trayvon covered Zimmerman's nose and mouth with his hands, but in a recorded 911 call from a neighbor in which someone can be heard screaming for help, none of the cries sound muffled.
•Zimmerman had injuries but not ones that matched the severity of the attack he described, according to Serino. If Trayvon had been banging Zimmerman's head on the sidewalk, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer should have had skull fractures, not just cuts, Serino said.
•There were no defensive wounds on Zimmerman's hands and just one small scrape on a finger of Trayvon's left hand, Serino said — little evidence of life-and-death struggle.

Zimmerman made only two mistakes as far as I am concerned first getting out of his vehicle however I think he was going above and beyond trying to help the police track Martin. The number one reason the police or dispatch do not want you doing that is for your own safety.
The second mistake was not drawing his firearm as soon as Martin started approaching him because it may have made Martin either run or stop. The fact that he didn’t pull his gun right away tells me that he wasn’t looking for a fight.
For those still trying to make this about race that is just sad. I guess the Hispanic black violence is a lot more than I ever knew.
Racially motivated statements on an opinion board after the fact are not reasons for what went on during Martin's attack on Zimmerman.
You are the one bringing race into it, so you are the one who has an issue with race.
