| Metallicube said: I'm sorry, but you follow an unarmed kid around with a gun, especially AGAINST THE ORDERS OF THE POLICE, I think the whole "self defense" argument gets thrown out the window. 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.. |
Wow, just saw this and had to form a reply to this verbal diarrhea of the mouth.
Which racist news network do you watch?
Some facts for you:
Police never ordered Zimmerman not to follow. A dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that" in reference to that. A dispatcher is a citizen with special privileges, NOT an officer of the law.
There is no evidence to suggest that Zimmerman followed after that point anyway.
In what world is following someone considered provocation? Paparazzi and Private Investigators do this for a living. They hardly ever confront a subject.
If the kid felt threatended he had 4 minutes to walk 300 feet. Pretty easy to do that. Instead he didn't do that, for whatever reason. (Probably to punch zimmerman in the face)
Well, Zimmerman was not sure if he even shot the kid at all let alone killed him as per his testimony (all we have to go by).
It is really unfortunate that an innocent person died, but Trayvon was no angel. Let's be honest.
Race never came into play at all in this matter. If you do nothing else, listen to the call from Zimmerman to the non-emergency dispatcher. The dispatcher asks Zimmerman for the race of the person before he even mentions it.
If you think it's about race, listen to the testimony of Rachel Jeantel about the words Trayvon used to describe his follower: "creep ass cracker" "nigger"
