After all, YOU started the confrontation. YOU provoked HIM, and wielded a weapon while doing so. I think someone forgot to tell Zimmerman he was the neighborhood watch, not the town sheriff. You are not supposed to take the law in your own hands in this situation. You let the cops deal with it. Maybe the kid did beat him, but did you ever think that maybe HE felt threatened and thus acted in self defense?? After all, he was getting chased by a stocky dude carrying a gun... Hell I sure would be freaked out. Even if the kid did get out of line and start whaling on the guy, and Zimmerman WAS threatened, for fucks sake.. Pistol whip the guy, or shoot him in the foot or something. And why did this Zimmerman follow him in the first place? Racial profiling. Simple as that.. And look where it gets us... The guy KILLS an innocent kid who was simply taking a stroll to a Seven-Eleven minding his own business, gets murdered, and the killer gets charged with NOTHING. Not even manslaughter. I am absolutely disgusted... There is no justice in this world. Plain and simple. Can't imagine how the parents of this kid must feel. I'd be fuming.. |
Have you got amnesia?
Read below someone already gave you the facts and yet you post the same crap you did before.

And this is the problem with our society. People who don't even look at the facts of the case and just jump to conclusions. Which, I admit, is much easier to happen when the media is spoon feeding people BS. Trayvon was far from innocent. Zimmerman lost him for several minutes. Plenty of time for Trayvon to get to his dad's house and be relaxing. Instead, he decided to stick around and (most likely) confront this "crazy ass cracker." And kid? Really? He was an atheletic, 6 ft (Zimmerman was 5'7") 17 yr old YOUNG MAN. Not the little 12 yr old boy the media tried to portray him as. Zimmerman was NEVER told by a cop to not follow Trayvon. He was told by a DISPATCHER that they didn't need him to follow Trayvon. That's not an order. And he has no legal obligation to follow it. And, in fact, he did stop following him at that point. Hence, the wind dying down and Zimmerman catching his breath on the 911 call. It also doesn't matter WHO owned the gun, as either man could have got ahold of it and used it. Zimmerman even stated he believed Trayvon was going for his gun, which is why he felt he had to get to it, first. Of course, Zimmerman may have only imagined this. But, who could blame him if he did, he was getting his head slammed against the sidewalk at the time. In the end, our justice system prevailed over low information "armchair legal experts" and emotion. |
