FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“He says, ‘Oh, he’s right behind me, he’s right behind me again,'”
Crump says the girl told him. “She says, ‘Run.’ He says, ‘I’m not going
to run, I’m just going to walk fast.’ She hears Trayvon say, ‘Why are you
following me?’ Other voice says, ‘What are you doing around here?'”
She told Crump they both repeated themselves and then she thinks she heard
Zimmerman push Martin “because his voice changes like something
interrupted his speech.” She heard an altercation and then the phone
call was cut off. She didn’t hear the gunfire.
Police say Zimmerman was bleeding from his nose and the back of his head, and
told police he had yelled out for help before he shot Martin.
Crump told reporters Tuesday it was Martin who cried out when a man bearing a
9mm handgun came at him.
“She absolutely blows Zimmerman’s absurd self-defence claim out of the
water,” Crump said of Martin’s girlfriend, whose name was withheld.
Martin called his 16-year-old girlfriend in Miami several times on Feb 26,
Crump said.
The discovery of the lengthy conversations was made over the weekend by
Martin’s father by checking his son’s cell phone log, Crump said.
The last call was at 7.12pm. Police arrived at 7.17pm to find Martin lying
face down on the ground.
Zimmerman was handcuffed after police arrived and arrested for questioning,
but was released by police without being charged.
“We will not rest until he is arrested. The more time that passes, this
is going to be swept under the rug,” Crump said.
Crump said he plans to turn over information about the call to federal
investigators; a grand jury is also likely to subpoena the records. The
Florida Department of Law Enforcement is also involved in the state case.
The case has ignited a furore against the local police department of this
Orlando suburb of 53,500 people, sparking rallies and a protest in Gov. Rick
Scott’s office on Tuesday. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division
said it is sending its community relations service this week to Sanford to “address
tension in the community.”
At a town-hall meeting on Tuesday, more than 350 people packed into the wood
panelled sanctuary of the Allen Chapel AME Church, located in a
traditionally black neighbourhood of Sanford. A line flowed down steps with
others trying to get in. The Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil-rights leader, was
expected to join city leaders at the meeting but did not attend.
Civil rights leaders from the National Association for the Advancement of
Coloured People, American Civil Liberties Union and the Nation of Islam
urged residents to remain calm but demand that Zimmerman be arrested. They
also said the town’s police chief should step down.
“I stand here as a son, father, uncle who is tired of being scared for
our boys,” said Benjamin Jealous, national president of the NAACP, a
leading civil rights organisation. “I’m tired of telling our young men
how they can’t dress, where they can’t go and how they can’t behave.”
Residents attending the meeting cheered and jumped to their feet when local
NAACP leader Turner Clayton Jr said the US Department of Justice shouldn’t
just review the investigation but the federal agency also should take over
the Sanford Police Department.
“This is just the beginning of what is taking place,” Clayton said. “We’re
going to make sure justice prevails.”
When The Associated Press tried to reach the police department Tuesday evening
for comment, a dispatcher told a reporter to call in the morning.
Authorities may be limited by a state law that allows people to defend
themselves with deadly force.
Under the old law, people could use deadly force in self-defence only if they
had tried to run away or otherwise avoid the danger. The new law has no duty
to retreat, and it gives a person the right “to stand his or her ground
and meet force with force, including deadly force,” if he or she feels
threatened.
Florida was the first state to pass a “Stand Your Ground” law, which
has been dubbed a “Shoot First” law by gun control advocates.
About half of all US states now have similar laws, said Brian Malte,
legislative director of the Brady Campaign, which describes itself as the
nation’s largest organisation dedicated to the prevention of gun violence.
