The argument that "Trayvon should have gone home", while ignoring the fact that Zimmerman should have done what both his own Neighborhood Watch policy AND the fucking police said he should do, instead folling Trayvon, with a fucking loaded gun tucked in his pants like some kind a gangsta........please. The argument that Trayvon was MUCH BIGGER AND ATHLETIC than the poor, short, dumpy, fat Zimmerman, is rather immaterial. Sorry, but if some creepy fat fuck was following me in the dark, I'd kind of want to know what the fuck was up too. Would I turn around and confront the guy? Who knows? But the fact that Travyon didn't run straight home doesn't excuse the fact that Zimmerman followed him with a loaded weapon, with every intention of getting into a conflict. If that WASN'T his intent, the motherfucker wouldnt' have followed him, would he? The better question here is, why the hell, after calling the police, which is ALL any neighborhood watch EVER says to do, did old Georgie not GO HOME himself? The entire situation could have been easily avoided if he would have kept to his own dumbass self, called the cops if he felt it was so neccisary (it wasn't), and then stay the fuck inside his own home like he was supposed to. Implying that it's Trayvon's fault he died, because he didn't run home, instead confronting a guy who was following him with a loaded weapon (and in all honesty HAD to have said or done something to provoke the fight), is about the same as saying that a girl who dresses slutty is "asking to be raped".
And quite frankly, no, it wasn' an "open and shut self defense case". The ONLY real testimony to the incident there was, was Zimmerman's. No one was outside watching all this go down. It was Zimmerman, Martin, and some texts/phone calls made. That's literally IT. The dead guy can't testify as to what happened. Thus Zimmerman's testimony is the only thing anyone actually has to go on. That's literally as far as it goes. And I'm sorry, the fact of the matter is, if Zimmerman had been a black dude, who shot Trayvon, a tall, athleticly built white kid, this would be a very different story for a LOT of folks. |
You're argument completely falls apart when you keep pushing the false narrative that Zimmerman continued to follow him. He did not. He stopped. And he lost Trayvon. That's the reason I bring up that Trayvon could have been home. Instead, of going home after Zimmerman lost him, he decided to swing back around. That is when the fault begins to fall on Trayvon.
And I wish you people would quit stressing the fact that Zimmerman had a gun. If you are against guns, then fine. However, he was in his legal right to own and possess one. Him having one doesn't make him more guilty just because you are anti-gun rights. Politics are not supposed to enter the judicial process. Only the law of the land.
And actually there were two eye witnesses. They didn't see the beginning of the fight, but both put Trayvon on Zimmerman, landing repeated blows upon him. In fact, just to show how the media fucked up the perception of the case, the one female witness originally thought it was Zimmerman on top because the aggressor was larger, and she thought Trayvon was the little boy the media was portraying.
And your right, it would have been a different story if Zimmerman would have been black and Trayvon white. We would have never fucking heard the story. It would have stayed a local story.
