Really? someone can find the murder of a child a joke? HipChick Mar 2012 #7

One can not be serious 100% of the time. (nt) jeff47 Mar 2012 #48

Are you counting the murder of a child among those times when we shouldn't be serious? Zalatix Mar 2012 #90

No, the claims of racists is when one shouldn't be serious. jeff47 Mar 2012 #99

I feel the time for humor is past, when it comes to Zimmerman. Zalatix Mar 2012 #102

And how many people "on the fence" do you think you'd reach with that statement? jeff47 Mar 2012 #103

Not when you're claiming the joke "bombed" jeff47 Mar 2012 #137

The dispatcher says he doesn't need to follow him. Hissyspit Mar 2012 #20

That's SOP. intheflow Mar 2012 #81

He says "black, white or Hispanic." He lists all three Number23 Mar 2012 #131

I can understand for a racial description, since it'd help police know the guy, Honeycombe8 Mar 2012 #140

Recced for visibility. The local police chief should be arrested for negligence and accessory leveymg Mar 2012 #9

I didn't hear it. trumad Mar 2012 #10

2:21 cali Mar 2012 #12

yep, this is premeditated murder. bluecoat_fan Mar 2012 #14

It's clearly the former... ellisonz Mar 2012 #84

No, it's not clear. Hissyspit Mar 2012 #93

On second listen maybe... ellisonz Mar 2012 #94

because Zimmerman is running & breathing heavy, it is muttered in a low voice. You miss it at first. unapatriciated Mar 2012 #18

It is whispered. Hissyspit Mar 2012 #22

Yeap, it's racial...it's a hate crime...why wasn't this guy arrested? uponit7771 Mar 2012 #23

Why the HELL is this dispatcher working with the murderer? ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #26

Dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow after the racial slur at 2:21 leveymg Mar 2012 #29

I listened. Dispatcher should have told him, at that point, that he appreciated ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #31

9/11 operators need to issue clear, forceful "Do not pursue" commands. Call it a "Zimmerman warning" leveymg Mar 2012 #32

Absolutely! randome Mar 2012 #33

I think Zimmerman understood perfectly well what the operator was telling him. LisaL Mar 2012 #72

I agree about Z's understanding. He knew what he was doing. leveymg Mar 2012 #76
