Now see, it's patently obvious that the police report wasn't read. It wasn't 2 a.m. at all. Trayvon's dad knew where he was...at the nearest
convenience store, buying Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea. And he had every right to believe that doing so should have been safe. Too bad they didn't know that a self-appointed and armed watchdog who had a gun despite a prior assault on a PO was going to chase and confront the young man, then shoot and kill him.
Actually, they're reading the police report. They're just deliberately spreading lies for the hell of it.
Hey, at least someone has come up with a more recent photo of this poor, defenseless baby Trayvon (who witnesses saw on top of Zimmerman beating him, a man who eventually shot him in self defense.)
It just seems weird. That the guy doing the killing would be the one calling the police. If you want to kill someone in cold blood, you don't have the police on the line, you do it as secretively as possible. None of it makes any sense to me.
He called the police because he saw someone he felt was "suspicous" in a neighborhood that as I understand it had several recent breakins.
What none of those "attacking" Zimmerman have cared to explain is how he was injured if he was armed and "hunting down" Martin. If he were out to kill him as many suggest, he wouldn't have allowed Martin to get close enough to assault him. He would have shot from at least a few feet away. Which of course goes against witness testmony that places Martin on top of Zimmerman, who was supposedly calling for help.
The reporting I have read on this case has been terrible. We (or at least I) have no idea if either was on public vs private property. How long did Zimmerman follow Martin? Was he following at some distance so he could report to the police where Martin was? Or did he try to physically restrain Martin? Is there evidence that Martin jumped or ambushed Zimmerman? In which case he had every reason to fear for his life. Exactly what were the witness accounts? An autopsy was done on Martin, exactly what did it show? Were there marks on his hands, etc, that might indicate he was in a fight?
Common sense would say that if you go after someone with the intent of killing them with a handgun, that you don't get into a fistfight with them first.
I'll wait till the police report and coroners report are released before making judgement.
What was this teen doing far away from home at two in the morning in a neighborhood that was recently plagued by crime?
Why didn't his parents know and have control of where this teen was?
Why do you keep asking these same questions over and over again when they have been answered?
How many times do you need to be told it wasn't 2am?
