New witness says Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman

New witness says Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman. “The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘Help, help… and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,’ he said. Zimmerman was wearing a red sweater; Martin was in a grey hoodie.” Oh, and then there’s this: “…the picture we’ve seen circulated that makes Trayvon Martin look like a little boy might be misleading. Reports are that he was 6’2″ tall and a star football player. Apparently that picture is old, which makes one wonder whether it was selected for a reason.” “Misleading” is S.O.P. for the race industry and its media enablers.

  • As a lifelong Louisvillian, I am also a Reds fan. They're the closest Major League team to Louisville. The Reds-Red Sox World Series was great. Though the Reds lost it, Game Six of that series is probably the greatest game I have ever seen. Game Seven last year between the Cardinals and Rangers was great also, though. I have high hopes for the Reds this year. I think Bobby Valentine will bring some much needed discipline to the Red Sox and improve them.

    • Yeah, big Red's fan, but under extreme duress I'd have to admit liking it when the sox beat the yanks(don't you just love listening to their fans whine?). Maybe the three of us won't irritate too many people injecting a little Bball talk now and then this season. Blast from the past md;

      sorry about the ad but it's the best quality I could find in a hurry.

      • I love when the yankees lose. This past decade was great to be a sox fan. lol.

        Thanks for the great clip. If it wasn't for the rat scaring the cameraman we wouldn't have the iconic video footage! Its funny how things work it life. Nothing is more epic than hit a good old homerun over the green monster.

    • The Reds have a long history. I thought the Reds were going to surge in 2000s when they signed Ken Griffery Jr. Its pretty tragic that he suffered from a lot of injuries. Poor guy he would have served as a great asset to the Reds.

      I hope Bobby does. I am hoping Andrew Bailey does well closing. He is a young kid and I feel he has a lot of potential to grow. However, the pitching won't be the same without Tim Wakefield. I'm going to miss that guy..

  • lol.

    What is America without Baseball? I have a hard time answering that question. Spring time is the greatest time of the year. It brings back fond memories of me playing ball as a kid.

    Is it correct to assume that you are a Red's fan?

  • Mitt Romney:

    In a statement on Friday, Mitt Romney, the presumed front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said: “What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy. There needs to be a thorough investigation that reassures the public that justice is carried out with impartiality and integrity.”

    Rick Santorum:

    “Well, stand your ground is not doing what this man did,” he said. “There’s a difference between stand your ground and doing what he did. It’s a horrible case. I mean it’s chilling to hear what happened, and of course the fact that law enforcement didn’t immediately go after and prosecute this case is another chilling example of horrible decisions made by people in this process.”

    Newt Gingrich:

    Newt Gingrich, campaigning Friday in Port Fourchon, La., said the district attorney had done “the right thing” in empaneling a grand jury. But, speaking of Mr. Zimmerman, he said it was “pretty clear that this is a guy who found a hobby that’s very dangerous.”
    “Having some kind of neighborhood watch is reasonable, but you had somebody who was clearly overreaching,” Mr. Gingrich said. “As I understand Florida law, what he was doing had nothing to do with the law that people are talking about.”

    So why are some of you giving Obama a hard time?

    • because zerobama is a race baiter.
      he has no right to weigh in on this matter especially considering zero's remarks about that cop that arrested that professor.
      zero obviously is not a proponent of law and order.
      romney's a rino, and his strings are being pulled by the libdem's.
      Rick and newt are silly to be addressing this situation.
      ANY body using this for making political hay needs to stfu. that includes all the racists who think it was about race.

  • I don't know where this is going, but there's no way we have ALL the relevant information, but I do know one irrefutable fact; Duke Lacrosse.

  • That is not a new witness. That guy's story has been reported pretty much from the beginning. I read about what he saw, before this story went national. He is one of the reasons the cops did not arrest Zimmerman immediately.

    • You are absolutely right. I did some research and this story was out before this became national news.
