Please point me to an eyewitness that says Zimmerman wasn't fighting for his life.

“I heard someone crying — not boo-hoo crying, but scared or terrified or hurt maybe,†said Mary Cutcher, 31, who lives in the Retreat at Twin Lakes townhome community where the shooting occurred. “To me, it was a child. This was not self-defense,†Cutcher said. “We heard no fighting, no wrestling, no punching. We heard a boy crying. As soon as the shot went off, it stopped, which tells me it was the child crying. If it had been Zimmerman crying, it wouldn’t have stopped. If you’re hurting, you’re hurting.â€
Mary doesn't seem very anonymous. And we now know it was not Zimmerman pleading for help so her statement seems fairly credible. Tell me Cabby, if it wasn't Zimmerman whining and pleading for help, who do you think was? And why did it stop at the gunshot?
And why didn't "your" witness hear any of this but claims to know what happened before and after?
Cabby it's all he said she said. That includes the witness that you choose to believe. It's not all anonymous either. They are anonymous in the newspaper article. This does not mean it was not reported to the police. Chances are very good that it was.
For a man who was viciously pounded against the pavement and had his nose broken Zimmerman looks awful chipper 4 hours later. He must face death rather regularly. What a stolid young fellow!
Barney Fife lost it, got scared and shot an unarmed man. If Barney Fife was not an asshole then nobody would have died. If he had started this confrontation and gotten his ass kicked people would say, "serves you right dumbass. Stop looking for trouble you can't handle." Instead we are supposed to believe a relatively normal kid went berserk.
Not buying it and don't care. Barney Fife is a menace and he needs to be investigated until his colon is sore.
Again she hears what she thinks is a boys scream. Did you listen to the tape? Have you heard what people sound like when they are screaming in fear for their lives?
She can't possibly know who's scream it was! If Zimmerman was getting beat (like the eyewitness says he was) and was fearing for his life then his screams would have been loud and shrill and fearful.
It is amazing the amount of actual hard evidence you have to ignore to even start believing some of the stuff you are!
I agree that Zimmerman needs to be investigated. I've said that all along. However unless something new comes to light then this was a legal shooting in self defense.
