Showing Original Post only (View all)I've never believed that Trayvon ran up on Z to throw the "first punch." [View all]
Simply because the only person who wanted a confrontation from the get-go was Zimmerman his damn self. He, of course, was determined to reach Martin and confront him about why he was in the complex and to prevent him from getting away before the police arrived.
It's not like Zimmerman had just popped out of thin air to get his face smashed in by some suddenly violent Black "thug." He accosted the kid and it turned into that tragic struggle.
Trayvon was a young person in fear of his life, especially after Rachel suggested that he was being followed by a grown man rapist. But forget about Trayvon's moment of fear for his own life, because by "law" he forfeited any right of self-defense the very moment Z pulled his gat, put it square in Trayvon's chest and pulled the trigger.
Apparently, the jurors wouldn't mind if their own children were stalked in the dark and the rain by a hot head with a gun and a "good heart," like George Zimmerman.
After all, if they ended up dead, according to their juror parents, it's their own damn fault because they resisted when some creepy-assed vigilante stalked after them in an attempt to secure the safety of the neighborhood.
Oh yeah, and we're supposed to believe everything that Mister Gunman says, no matter how self-serving and ridiculous it sounded.
Did I mention that it's all part of "God's Plan?" Self-determination and ultimate responsibility when you take an innocent life is not-withstanding.
If all of this sounds fucking nuts, that's because it really is.
