In reply to the discussion: Witness in Zimmerman trial is giving details of area burglaries before Trayvon was shot [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)30. And sometimes kids
can do some strange things.
They even like to be ball-busters...especially 17 year old boys.
I wasn't there, and neither were you, but isn't it possible Trayvon Martin, seeing that he was being followed, might have started acting a bit weird just to freak out the nosy-assed "cracker"?
Some kids get all, "Hey, whatchoo lookin' at, man???" just because someone looks at them a little too long.
Maybe he pulled his hoodie up a little more, hiding his face...and, in doing so, made himself look even more suspicious.
Nobody knows.
I think that most people who have had kids would admit, though, that "typical kids" can act like total assholes when they've a mind to.

It explains why many of the defense witnesses skewed their testimony to benefit Zimmerman.

And for a third token, why would an innocent man attempt to commit wire fraud from his jail cell?
