Ambulance for Zimmerman was cancelled en route

Snipped
SANFORD, Fla. -
A Trayvon Martin family spokesperson says information within the newly released fire rescue dispatch recordings from the night George Zimmerman shot and killed Martin is just another reason why Zimmerman should be arrested.

The recordings, which were first obtained by the New York Daily News and then shared by the newspaper with Local 6, detail communication from emergency medical responders on the night of Martin's death.

In the recordings, you can hear rescue workers talking about Zimmerman, just minutes after his family says Martin repeatedly pounded his head into a sidewalk.

If you hit your head, you can't always know right away how seriously you're injured.

But if there was no hitting well that's an entirely different thing. You claim "victim-status" but in reality it means nothing.

it seems very suspicious that they wouldn't have insisted he be taken to the hospital instead of the superficial inspection he got. I keep thinking about Natasha Richardson's injury. Had they really thought he'd been hit on the head, it seems the most logical course of action.

Of course, the truth is that Zimmerman was not injured in any way. I just wonder how the RW'ers who believe his story don't see that. I feel like I'm rattling on, but if you're going to the trouble of covering something up, don't make it so easy to see through it.

may have been cancelled as the coroner's office would have picked up Trayvon's body, leaving the original ambulance available to tend to Zimmerman. However, if Zimmerman is to be believed, the EMTs would have insisted on taking him to the hospital for treatment. I do not believe Zimmerman.

My hubby says if Zimmerman does have a broken nose, it could be that he sustained it as an injury from the recoil of his gun when he shot Trayvon.

slipped, fell and hit her head on the driveway pretty good at about 2 am. It wasn't bleeding, so we put some ice on it and drove her to the ER to get checked out - and got royally chewed out by a nurse for not calling for an ambulance! She said a good whack on the head should be considered an emergency, because someone can seem fine for awhile, and then go south very fast.

So Zimmerman got his head slammed into the sidewalk, muliple times, and they just sent him on his merry way? Bullshit.

Zimmerman's story is obvious bunk. The desperation of the right wing (faking "enhancements" to the video tape in order to point to vague "gashes&quot makes it clear that even obvious evidence won't appease them when there's a dead black teenager to shit all over.

That said, she is correct.

So either zimmy signed an against medical advise, he could legally refuse care as long as he was alert and oriented times three, meaning name, time and what happened...

Or it's bullshit.

If there is an AMA s probably sealed by the court...if there is none...well, another hole in the story.

if he did have any injuries, and insisted upon his wounds being documented on the scene, IMHO. His story has changed too many times.

I am hoping justice will prevail, because the public trust is hanging by a thread these days.

simply heartbreaking. Obviously, if Trayvon was shot at close range in the chest, he was likely not revivable.

But it does lend credence to the girlfriend's claim that Trayvon had ducked under a porch (?) or something somewhere for a few minutes to get out of the rain. Air evacs don't cancel because of "sprinkles". So the weather must've been bad.

Also, everyone else is correct in saying that had Zimmerman claimed repeated head bashing at the scene, ems would be obligated to take him to the ER and he would have been CT scanned for subdural hematoma or skull fx.

Why is this guy not arrested?
