Re: Anger + Sadness = RAGE
911 Calls
Not sure if this link was posted earlier, so sorry if it's a repeat. It's the most complete audio of the 911 calls I've heard. At about 2:15 minutes in, it DOES sound like Zimmerman gets out of his truck and closes the door and it sounds like he's walking. At that point the 911 operator asks him not to follow Trayvon. I found it odd that he didn't want to give the operator his personal information.
11:43 minutes in, a woman says that there's a guy "on top" with a white t-shirt, presumably referring to Zimmerman since Trayvon was wearing a gray hoodie.
About 21:30, a woman says that she saw them "wrestling" before the shot. Very sad call, sounds like an older woman, very upset because a "young boy" has been killed. Cries (a LOT) and says that she would have helped if she could've. Her call is very long...and the 911 operator does a great job of calming her down and is exceedingly patient.
32:23 - a couple of kids call in--the "brother" to the caller says: "...I saw a man laying on the ground that needed help that was screaming and then I was gonna' go over there to try and help him but my dog got off the leash so I went and got my dog and then I heard a loud sound [and] the screaming stopped."
