The neighbors claim that there have been 15 burglaries recently and all were done by young black men.

As I understand it, most of them are unsolved.

More interesting is how the enhanced video still fails to show any apparent blood spatter from when Zimmerman shot the person who was sitting on top of him inflicting the grievous injuries you see on the video.

Has there been any information of what caliber weapon was used ? a 22 as compared to a 357 would make a difference in the amount of blood shed from the victim.

How exactly do they know that? Or do they assume that?

Zimmerman told them so.

The police report identifies the weapon as a "black Kel-Tek 9mm PF9 semi auto handgun".

And according to several reports I read Zimmerman did call the cops 40 some odd times (since 2004, averaging once a month in the twelve most recent months.

You said 40 times in eight years and I said 41 times in eight weeks. According to the Orlando Sentinel, we were both wrong.

Records show Zimmerman, 28, called the cops 46 times between January 2011 and Feb. 26.

Does it matter that the gun was black?

Interesting wording from the Orlando Sentinel considering the NBC release:

Quote
On Feb. 26, Zimmerman called the non-emergency line to report a suspicious person — Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman mentioned the break-ins, reported a young black male in his neighborhood who he didn't recognize and thought was acting suspiciously.


I didn't see a link to the police report.   Nevermind.... you trickily put it in the words police report.  Hidden in plain sight.

Perfect illustration on how nobody can really figure out what happened. I wasn't trying to mislead you Michael, it is just difficult to pinpoint "the facts".

Or a wannabe vigilante.  Or both.

But really, doesn't vigilantism spurn itself from paranoia?  Or at the very most being victimized?

No victims usually results in low levels of vigilantism.
