Exactly, all you have is mindless speculation. Tallying something with the facts should result in you ignoring common sense. That re-enactment makes no sense for various reasons:
1) Why would Treyvon, knowing that he was on a path that leads directly to his father's house, stop to hide rather than get home to safety?
2) Why would Zimmerman, who saw Treyvon running (and according to this video, saw him running down the path), run past the path and go out onto the other road?
3) Why does the video favour the testimony of Treyvon's friend, who lied in court, over the testimony of Zimmerman to the police?
That video clearly had an agenda from the start, the same as most of the media: "Zimmerman is guilty; let's present the facts in a way which show that". I find that view abhorrent. It is not surprising that comments are disabled on the video itself. The reason given is "I have now disabled comments on this video because I am sick of deleting blatantly racist and/or uncivil posts, and blocking the authors thereof", and I have to wonder what he classes as "uncivil" posts; perhaps disagreement with his version of events?
At least here, we let people debate all sides of the argument without censorship.

Quote:And how that matches with the false statements that you've made.I'm not aware of any false statements I've made.
Quote:e.g. it taking all that time for Zimmerman to find a house number.I never said it took all that time for Zimmerman to find a house number. It's entirely possible that Zimmerman found the house number, but stayed at the T section so he could see the police arriving (his car was in view) but also could keep a lookout if Treyvon came back. I'm speculating admittedly, but it makes far more sense than the version presented in that video, where both Treyvon and Zimmerman do things that go completely against any form of logic.
