It is after 5:00pm

(via ABC NEWS) “He took my head and slammed it against the concrete several times, and each time I thought my head was going to explode and I thought I was going to lose consciousness,” George Zimmerman told police the day after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
“I started screaming for help,” but Martin pressed his hands over Zimmerman’s mouth and nose, he said. “He told me to shut the f&#k up, and I was suffocating.”
Zimmerman told police he was lying on the ground, but his head was on the concrete.
“I didn’t want him to keep slamming my head on the concrete so I kind of shifted. But when I shifted my jacket came up…and it exposed my firearm. That’s when he said you are going to die tonight. He took one hand off my mouth, and slid it down my chest. I took my gun aimed it at him and fired.”

The latest and most detailed account yet of what happened in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26 comes from a voice stress test that Zimmerman passed, along with a video re-enactment, a handwritten statement and audio interviews conducted in the days after the shooting by investigators. (more…)

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Any attempt to justify the firing of Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee, in any form other than admitting it to be self-serving political interest, and short-sighted racist appeasement, is political correctness run amok.     You can’t pick up that turd by the clean end, period.
If you have followed this case, and actually read the accompanying research, you would admit as such with intellectual, albeit uncomfortable, honesty.  Chief Lee is being cast aside, blamed, ridiculed, obfuscated and sacrificed in the same manner, by the same people, for the exact same reason, as those who attack George Zimmerman himself.

This is a developing story.    CNN reports that Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee has been FIRED !!   More to come soon…
SANFORD —   Police Chief Bill Lee, who has been under fire for his department’s handling of the Trayvon Martin case, has been fired, according to his spokesperson.

Lee’s spokesperson, Sara Brady, confirmed the news Thursday. She says city manager Napoleon Bonaparte terminated Lee, but the details have not been finalized. (more…)

Remember the video we posted earlier in the month.?   2-J’s announcing his new objective to march on Gun Shops.

Well, apparently the first shot-at-it didn’t go too well for team 2J’s. (more…)

WARNING – If you are prone to big picture avoidance, or if intellectual honesty makes you uncomfortable, this is not the thread for you.
However, if you are open-minded, well versed in the consequential multi-dimensional politics of our time, and aware that little – if anything – ever happens in the abstract, then perhaps you might enjoy digging further.
There is a big picture here;  a big uncomfortable picture, and in fairness to everyone it needs to be discussed in the brightest sunlight.
To begin I will acknowledge that some TreeHouse members are/were slightly or perhaps even more than moderately annoyed at the level of focus placed upon the Trayvon Martin case by our refuge.  Indeed, it is has been a quite extensive and time-consuming endeavor, not by mere happenstance or by dismissive intention, but more by necessity.

This is just a post to address some of the avalanche of criticism I personally have received over the DeeDee narrative deconstruction.   Specifically on March 28th we revealed that DeeDee had refused to talk to authorities.  If I had a nickel for every time someone called me a manipulative fibber for this statement I could retire very wealthy.
Most of the attacks came from various persons and organizations who were still, at that time, continuing to sell the innocent childlike Trayvon Martin narrative.  The Global Grind, Huffington Post, Orlando Sentinel et al, and various denizens of their readers would not accept the factual reality that DeeDee was refusing to talk to authorities.  They specifically and intentionally hid this aspect from their readership, articles, and on-line editorials.
But it was then, as it remains now, the truth. (more…)

Update – Ad rem has located the audio in U-Tube format for us to review on site:

Sometimes we get great tips into the Treehouse on the George Zimmerman case but we just don’t know what to do with them.   Generally when the submission provides only text narrative (no videos or pictures) we are left trying to interpret what they are sharing.   This is one such example.
Obviously a lot of thought and research went into this outline.  Unfortunately,  we do not know precisely what pictures/angles have been reviewed and so the pictures are only our best guess (you can click to enlarge).  In addition we do not independently possess the video(s) the author, JR, describes.  However, if someone else does please share the links and we will attempt to embedd.   Thanks, Sundance 
From Treeper JR – Have you looked at the clubhouse videos? I’m pretty sure they show Zimmerman looking for Martin, just before he called the police.

It may help to get an idea of what the layout of the clubhouse is. Go to Bing maps. (1111 Retreat View Circle, Sanford, Florida)  Bing is Microsoft’s response to Google, but rather than using satellite images they use aerial photography, which gives you a real 3D image. The problem is that the images are from different vintages, so as you rotate the image, you get different vintages – and some are old enough to show RTL under construction and a trailer sales office where the clubhouse is.

But pan across the street to the north so you are looking at the school, and rotate for a view from the south, and pan SLOWLY to the south, and you will get an image of the clubhouse from the south (make sure you don’t go past the pool) (more…)
