(2,104 posts)I doubt we'll ever know the truth of what Trayvon saw/thought and what George said/did when he confronted Trayvon.
If some stranger said something racist/derogatory to me and I had seen him following me or I saw a gun I might not 'roll the dice' and see if all he wanted was to rob or beat me. I *might* try charging him before he could draw that gun. I'm not saying that is what happened I'm saying I don't know. I wouldn't blame Trayvon in the least if he 'attacked' this person who followed him and could have been a skin head, gang member, robber, murderer, etc.
I don't know what happened or under what circumstances but you don't get to stalk someone, confront them and kill them then go home without doing time. George had no business stalking that young man or confronting him let alone shooting him AFTER he got in Trayvon's face. IF he had left the young man alone Trayvon would be alive and George could go on being a timebomb waiting to go off in some other person's face ignoring the police, stalking people and carrying a gun while on 'neighborhood watch' neither staying in his neighborhood or just watching.
