| psrock said: Martin was pissed because? He punched Zimmerman because? He came back although he was trying to run from the creep because? Or Zimmerman kept following him, actually caught up to Martin, Zimmerman tried to hold him but couldnt and got his ass kicked,he realized Martin was too strong, pulled out the gun and killed Martin. |
He could have been pissed because some "creepy ass cracker" was following him. A lot of kids that age would be more angry than frightened at being followed. I was followed by an old guy when I was about Martin's age because he was suspicious of me being in his neighborhood at night, and I sure wasn't scared of him. I was pretty ticked, though. Ultimately, he just told me that he'd called the cops on me, but if he had been more confrontational I probably would have been angry enough (and stupid enough) to push back. The idea that he might have had a gun would never have occurred to me.
And then he could have punched Zimmerman because, well... he was pissed.
He might have run because he wanted to get the drop on him or to get a better idea of who he was dealing with. When he saw that Zimmerman wasn't particularly intimidating, he might have been emboldened to teach him a lesson. I mean, anything might have happened, but it's all just speculation at this point. "Common sense" doesn't cut it.
