Speaking of the facts. NBC fires producer over edited Zimmerman 911 call.

NBC News edited version. Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good ... he looks black."

Actual version. Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining, and he's just walking around, looking about."

The 911 handler: "OK, and this guy -- is he black, white or Hispanic?"

Zimmerman: "He looks black,"


This was AUDIO that was edited, not just some copy/paste flip up ...


Sensationalism... annoying! Why can't we just get the known facts and ... god forbid ... use our OWN minds to come with our own opinions instead of always being steered one way or another.

That fact was the main reason I jumped on the masses for wanting Zimmerman executed. This got turned into a huge race issue when it shouldn't have.

I wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of your son, I thought he was a little bit younger than I was, and I did not know if he was armed or not.

Zimmerman today at bond trial wrote:

Zimmerman's wife depicted him as a man she has never seen angry. His father said he was a truthful man who had long been concerned with helping others. And his mother said he had organized a campaign to "get justice" for a homeless man who had been beaten in Sanford, as well as mentoring a 14-year-old African-American boy from a dangerous Orlando neighborhood.

...

She said he has been a mentoring the 14-year-old for three years even though the program he had joined shut down after only nine months because of the economy.

She said she begged him not to go because of the danger.

"He said, 'Mom, if I don't go, they don't have nobody,'" Gladys Zimmerman said.

She said her son also participated in a 2010 campaign to "get justice" for an African-American homeless man who was seen in a videotape taken by an onlooker being struck by a man who later turned out to be the son of a Sanford police lieutenant.

Seen that too. Why is that coming out now? I had said earlier that I thought police took pictures of such things, especially during a potential murder. So, is this from the police? If so, why is it not released until now? Is this more slanting of the story like NBC did with the 911 audio?
