| superspeedybull said: Zimmerman is definitely guilty of manslaughter. The self-defense argument is absolute speculation because Zimmerman was told to not follow Travyon and he did anyway, Travyon however once he had the feeling that Zimmerman was following him should have ran home. I don't know who threw the first blow and there is no proof that Travyon did or vise versa however if you follow someone with a gun (you are already engaging in an altercation) in my state that's just as good as engaging the any kind of conflict and Self-Defense goes out the window, Once you disobey a Cop's order thats proven negligence which is the basis of Manslaughter. They both made bad decisions however, Trayvon beat up a guy with a gun when he should have ran home, he was close enough. ZImmerman should have obeyed the cops and not have followed him and he shouldn't have followed him with a Gun (he did not have it wear he said he did because if that true then how he described Travyon was beating him would have made it impossible for him to have gotten it out in the first place). The law was served but justice was not, this just proves that a man can get away with murdering a child and being black myself however this doesn't surprise me, but the black community is making a big deal about it because of race when Black teens kill each other everyday in fact 2,000 have been murdered since Travyon's death. The way you fix it is stop killing each other and get the bastards who do stuff like this, fight back. |
Wait, here we go again... 'the cops' told Zimmerman to stay put? You think cops answer the phone at the 911 call center?? REEEALLLY?? C'mon, please, the sheer, purposeful ignorance of the whole 'the cops told him something something bullshit bullshit, blahblah' argument is getting old. Go and read through some of the other posts and actually check out the evidence instead of spouting off nonsense you've heard on twitter and false info from headlines. Also... listen to the 911 call, at least try to know something about what you're talking about. Zimmerman was no angel in this, but there was also not nearly enough evidence for even a manslaughter conviction. Hell, half the jury originally wanted to convict him of SOMETHING just because a young man died, but there was nowhere for them to go legally. This never should have gone to trial, there's a very good reason the police didn't want to charge him in the first place.
