NBC has issued a mea culpa for how it edited a phone call between George Zimmerman and a police dispatcher before the killing of Trayvon Martin, reports the Washington Post. In the bit that aired, Zimmerman says this:
"This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black."
The full version fills in the gaps between those sentences and shows that Zimmerman offered that Trayvon was black only after being asked:
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."
Dispatcher: "OK, and this guy—is he black, white or Hispanic?"
Zimmerman: "He looks black."
NBC's statement, obtained by the Post's Erik Wemple: "During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret. We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers."
Explain that UB.

this is not a court of law..it is the court of public opinion...imo zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter...he needs to be tried...florida is a fucked up place ..he may walk..all it takes is one out of 12 jurors to believe he thought his life was in danger....casey anthony walked and she was very guilty ..zimm may walk also..but he needs to be charged and arrested and tried.

Every 1 is forgetting Zimm is a violent man who LOSES control. Track records are a bitch!
1) Zimm has a propensity and history of violence. This makes Zimm incapable of dealing with confrontations without resorting to violence.
2) Zimm was not properly trained to handle confrontation, he should have reported what he saw, and returned home. The simple fact that he was even close enough to be "assaulted" tells me he has insufficient training to handle a firearm in this situation.

Yes, because we all know it is pathetically easy to stay away from a 17 year old high school football player. They are so totally out of shape usually.
Zimmerman should have been easily able to out sprint him...
NBC clearly made Zimmerman out to be a racist when he OBVIOUSLY had a problem with Travan wandering around and looking about in the middle of a rain storm. He keyed on Travan because he wasnt walking directly home and was acting suspicious. Now, since we obviously have evidence (the same level of evidence you have on zimmerman) that Travan is a petty thief, he was justified to monitor him.
Travan died for assaulting someone, not buying a bag of skittles.

Zimmerman approached Trayvon. He has no right to use deadly force!!

OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE NO TRAINING WITH FIRE ARMS! It's obvious. So obvious. Why approach you when I have a gun? Why approach you when police are on the way? Why straddle your corps? WHY!? If you see me at 100 yards, and charge me, your dead at 50 yards. If I'm acting like a thug, I close distance and start verbiage. If Zimmy was really neighborhood watch, he should have stayed that way. Not neighborhood Stops. Not neighborhood Security. Neighborhood WATCH.
Zimmy can't even handle observe and report mall cop shit, you really think he's innocent? And it's better to be violent than a thief? Are you a radical muslim or something? I'd rather get robbed than shot any day. If I see something out of the ordinary, I don't grab my mossberg, I grab a phone. Zimm didn't know if TM was looking for an address or frying balls on acid. He shouldn't have followed at all. He should have called the police, Before he shot someone. Period. TM was not in anyone's home. He wasn't committing any crimes.
And not even going to trial! What a farce! If someone killed your boy, I'll bet you'll want more than a couple beat cops saying, "Looks that way."

We all know how pathetically easy it is to outrun a 17 year old football player in a pickup truck!
Approaching someone is the same as a physical attack? When you walk up to the clerk to pay for your groceris you are approaching them, don't blame the clerk if they shoot you dead, you were being aggressive.
then why is his truck hundreds of yards away from the spot where Trayvan was shot?

Because Trayvon dragged Zimmerman out of his truck around two corners, down a sidewalk and then up on some grass where Zimmerman FINALLY pulled out his gun and shot Trayvon. Zimmerman had to shoot him. Otherwise he would have been dragged to death... over grass...
