  3. 1:35 "That's a uniquely incompetent security guard." Joe, it's a crying shame that someone as curious and intelligent as you is so woefully ignorant about the Trayvon Martin case. Zimmerman wasn't a "security guard." He was a Block Watch volunteer who lived in that complex. Block Watch's job is just to call the police if they see something suspicious — THAT'S IT. And that's exactly what GZ did.

    He was on his way to Target to buy the week's groceries. And he had a handgun because he had a FL concealed carry permit, and he was carrying concealed, on his way to the store. When he saw TM acting suspiciously, he called the Sanford FL PD non-emergency number:

    "Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, urn, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. 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. … he was just staring, looking at all the houses."

    He continued to watch Trayvon from inside his car, at the behest of the dispatcher, who told him — twice — "let me know if he does anything."

    While watching TM, and giving the dispatcher the address of the clubhouse (where he was going to meet the police), GZ said, "Shit, he's running," to which the dispatcher replied: "He's running? Which way is he running?"

    That's when you hear Zimmerman get out of his car (to be able to tell the dispatcher which way Martin ran). From the wind noise and Z's breathing, the dispatcher figure out he's left the vehicle and asks, "Are you following him?" When GZ replies "Yeah," the dispatcher says, "OK, we don't need you to do that," and GZ responds "OK." Then the wind noise stops, and you can hear GZ's breathing return to normal in ~ 10 seconds.

    He hung up shortly thereafter, and was walking back to his car when TM confronted him: "Hey, you got a problem?" When GZ replied, "No, no problem," TM sucker-punched him, breaking his nose and knocking him down. Then he straddled his chest and started the "ground-and-pound." While TM was bashing the back of GZ's head against the pavement, Z's jacket started riding up, M saw his gun, started reaching for it, and said, "You're gonna die." Z and M struggled for the gun, but Z got a single shot off.

    TM stopped fighting and said, "You got me," GZ thought he meant, "OK man, peace, you got the drop on me." He didn't even realize he'd hit him.

    Here are the recorded phone call (4 mins.) and the transcript. All you have to do is read and listen along.
