Sound almost as make-believe and imaginary as attempting to illegally transfer money over the phone from a jail cell.

BS PR move! hrmjustin Jul 2013 #1
Oddly, that's exactly what I thought. sybylla Jul 2013 #21
Yup, pictures/video or it didn't happen. Myrina Jul 2013 #29
Even if they did come up with photos, I wouldn't believe it wasn't staged. Squinch Jul 2013 #56
Interesting standard you fabricated. Please post the pictures/video of Zimmerman shooting anyone or 24601 Jul 2013 #80

Not my standard of proof. Back up the thread and find the originator. 24601 Jul 2013 #106
prejudice exists daybranch Jul 2013 #50
No! I don't believe it. I admit i may be wrong but I just question the whole thing. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #51
I question it too Plus it happened last week classykaren Jul 2013 #85
No, this is called skepticism. Z killing an unarmed 17 year old was prejudice. Squinch Jul 2013 #58
Skepticism...not prejudice. n/t JimDandy Jul 2013 #92

This thread makes me sad. Convinceable Jul 2013 #164
What makes me sad is Trayvon is dead and Zimmerman got away with it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #165

I think that it is George's idea to hang out by the scanner and seek opportunities to be a hero. yardwork Jul 2013 #98
You might be right about the scanner, JimDandy Jul 2013 #105
I read that Zimmerman did call in the accident, but I may have been mistaken. yardwork Jul 2013 #107
Do you have a link for that? JimDandy Jul 2013 #114
I reread some articles and they don't say he called it in, so maybe I was mistaken. yardwork Jul 2013 #115
Thanks for rechecking! JimDandy Jul 2013 #120
No problem. I edited my post up above. yardwork Jul 2013 #121

Oh come on you guys, people in this thread can't seriously be implying this was a conspriacy. Kurska Jul 2013 #16
It is so obviously a PR stunt that even a child couldn't fall for it. cosmicone Jul 2013 #22

Why? Because you don't like the idea of it happening? Kurska Jul 2013 #24
Oh brother cosmicone Jul 2013 #34
well, its being reported that way everywhere now Bacchus4.0 Jul 2013 #36
It is because the media have been dumbed down. cosmicone Jul 2013 #37
ok, sure I'd love to hear more details on this story Bacchus4.0 Jul 2013 #41
You can bet you bottom dollar that it wasn't an African American notadmblnd Jul 2013 #78
Well, I'm sorry about your fundmental misunderstanding of statistics. Kurska Jul 2013 #38
Ok, but I can spell statistics and statistically. cosmicone Jul 2013 #43
Oh boy a single typo, that sure invalidates all the scientific principles I communicated in my post. Kurska Jul 2013 #44
You didn't communicate anything scientific. cosmicone Jul 2013 #45
Did you actually read my post? Because you clearly didn't if you think it is that high. Kurska Jul 2013 #48
Probabilities are compounded. cosmicone Jul 2013 #54

Conflating a conspiracy theory and a PR stunt (two wholly separate concepts) LanternWaste Jul 2013 #46
Actually people are implicating the police department of Sanford in this. Kurska Jul 2013 #49
The police are implicated in that they announced that George Zimmerman rescued somebody. yardwork Jul 2013 #102
"George Zimmerman was listening to the police scanner" you have zero evidence of this n/t Kurska Jul 2013 #117
LOL! That is the kindest interpretation. What else do you suppose happened? yardwork Jul 2013 #119
"Do you really think that George Zimmerman just happened to be passing by an accident" Kurska Jul 2013 #123

It's entirely possible. The family lies all the time, we know that. yardwork Jul 2013 #135
You are correct, however ... cosmicone Jul 2013 #55
He probably has a scanner and heard the call. KittyWampus Jul 2013 #27
