Some people really think you have the right to physically assault a person just because he is following you for a few minutes. This is totally new to me. This is shocking.

Such twisted and dangerous sense of morals.


I don't think it was a sense of morals like that. You mean to tell me that if you saw someone following you in a car at night adn you ran away adn they STILL followed you got out of the car to find you, then found you and approached you that you would be fine with it and feel safe? With EVERYTHING going on in the world, people killing strangers, robbing them, rapping them, kidnapping them you would just be like oh it's nothing?

I know you are a VERY sensible poster on here but come on man that isn't assault from someone just following you it is you feel you are in danger. Also considering the fact that Zimmerman SUPPOSEDLY grabbed him.

There are WAY to many holes in teh case that is why he got off and the prosecution did not fight hard enough.

Lastly to the person who put a pic of Trayvon up...there is a 13yr old in my church who is 6'3 a good 220 or 230? Does that make him a man? No he is STILL a child. Trayvon was a young adult not a child I can admit I was wrong about that. But again this case is just weird in general and a tragedy and should be left at that.

"you are in danger". No, he didn't feel that way. Witness accounts don't support that. You do not know how young men tend to be very confident and have attitude problems and being very protective of their integrity, manhood and pride? I have no diffuclty imagining this young man was easily provoked just like millions of other young steroid filled young men are. He realized this older man was following him and while walking for a couple of minutes he started to feel increasingly offended and got angrier and angrier until it boiled over.

If there are several people in this very thread alone thinking Zimmerman did something morally very wrong by following the young man and acting like a wannabe cop, then why wouldn't the young man feel the same thing and decide he would teach him a lesson? There are several people in this thread who argue it would have been right and perfectly understandable if Trevyon attacked Zimmerman for stalking him.

I do think it's plausible that Zimmerman physically grabbed his jacket though. I can imagine that from a wanna-be cop who thinks he is on to something, who thinks he is about to catch a burglar. But, we don't have any evidence of that, and on the other hand Zimmermans testimony when he is re-enacting the crime scene he gives a very believable and genuine impression.


I think it's just pure stupidity what Zimmerman did more than anything. And a kid is dead because of his stupidity. Don't create a situation like that if you don't know how to handle it, and the only people who do know how to handle that are fully trained police officers.
