In reply to the discussion: Trayvon Martin was shot at 7:16 in the evening [View all]protect our future
(1,156 posts)Here's something else. During the trial there has been talk of who confronted who. In order for Trayvon to be the "confronter," wouldn't he have had to approach Zimmerman's car before Zimmerman exited the car to pursue Trayvon? How can Trayvon be viewed as the "confronter" when he did not initiate the incident which resulted in his death?
Also, didn't the young woman who was talking with Trayvon tell him to run away after Trayvon noticed Zimmerman acting suspicious? (I think she told him that, although I'm so busy I can't spend much time watching TV or getting online so please forgive me if I'm wrong.) Well, of course he didn't run away while he was on the phone with this young lady. He's a kid, he's talking with his young female friend, and there's is no way he's going to appear to be a coward. Probably he would have run if he had not been on the phone with her. But he's seventeen years old and he wanted to impress her, just as any other seventeen-year-old male wound have done.
