Trayvon didn't live in the area, he was only staying with his dad and his dad's fiancee for a week or so. I believe the reason that was given is that he had been suspended from school because they found weed in his backpack. Either way, Zimmerman didn't know Trayvon was staying there. And your understanding of the events are completely off. They didn't exchange words beforehand. You can hear this on the 911 call. Zimmerman thought he may have been the person who had been breaking into the houses within the community the past few weeks. Trayvon did not turn around while Zimmerman was following him. He ran. Zimmerman ran after him. The dispatcher said not to do that. Zimmerman stopped and continued to talk to the dispatcher. Trayvon could have been long gone during this point. However, I think he was pissed that someone had followed him. So, instead of just going inside his dad's house and leaving it alone, he doubled back to confront Zimmerman. I have yet to see where Zimmerman has done anything illegal. And according to Florida law, it doesn't matter who starts the fight, only if you are in fear for your life. So, if Trayvon had hit him a couple of times and walked away, then Zimmerman would have been guilty of murder if he had shot him. But, since Trayvon was on top and pounding Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk, it seems Zimmerman was in the right. Also, the picture is an example of hyperbole. Of course no news channel/site used it. It's just to illustrate how the media portrayed the situation with their words and actions. Calling Zimmerman white, and when they found out he was Hispanic, they started calling him a "white" Hispanic. I guess they should start calling Obama the first "white" Black President. Never once showing recent pics of Trayvon, only using one's where he was an innocent looking 12/13 year old, not the 6 ft. 17 yr old young man. |
