In reply to the discussion: FBI may charge George Zimmerman with hate crime [View all]Oilwellian
(12,647 posts)54. I think you're correct
I took the 911 call into Sony Vegas and played that particular section in slow motion. I have no doubt he said "coon" and not "punk" as the Florida officials are stating. I have been procrastinating about making a short video on this, and Cat's OP has provided me a spark to get off me arse and do it.
My thought was to find other words Zimmerman said in the 911 call that start with a "P" and play them in slow motion, and then compare that to the hard "C" you hear when he said "fucking coons." It's so very obvious he said it when you slow it down. I can also get screenshots of his voice signature and show you the difference between his "P" and hard "C" sounds.
OK, it's time to get busy. I'll post my video on DU when finished.

I read that if he's convicted of a hate crime by federal law it means death penalty.
