In reply to the discussion: Trayvon's Girlfriend Recalls Final Conversation Before Shooting ("What Are You Following Me For?") [View all]slackmaster
(60,567 posts)25. Zimmerman's, of course. It's a tactic made famous by the KKK.
If Zimmerman, (and keeping in mind that NeverEnuff is stating that he would defend himself) then I would logically understand you to be saying that Zimmerman was defending himself.
Logic FAIL.
It appears that Zimmerman engineered a "fight" in which he had a clear advantage, won it by shooting Trayvon Martin, then claimed self-defense. He didn't really defend himself. He intentionally attacked and killed someone, and is trying to exploit the presumption of innocence to get away with it.
It's how Klan members have gotten away with murder. I think it's foolish for NeverEnuff to post on the Internet, which is forever, that he would do something like that.
So which is it?
I think you're being obtuse, ret5hd.

You are admitting on a public forum that you would lower yourself to his level?

It doesn't matter, imo. It's clear that Zimmerman targeted Trayvon because of the way he looked.

I believe you. I don't think that somebody the age of George Zimmerman would use that slur.

I don't believe that the police investigated at all. They took Zimmerman's word for what happened.
