ok..I'll edit that.
trayvon had illegal substances in his system. There is no evidence zimmerman took illegal drugs.
And, this is the crux of the matter. Seems Zimmerman's whole case is based on unsubstantiated commentary.....including his own. I don't doubt that Trayvon did sock George at some point...I just do not believe that George as the one that escalated this whole stiuation should not be held accountable.
Trayvon had a right to defend himself...an unknown adult male following him, staring at him...talking to someone on the phone in low guarded tones. He could have very well been in fear for his life. Look at the teens that are stolen daily...We cannot open a paper or check a facebook status without seeing missing and abducted people. Trayvon's perceptions are just as critical, and more justified because of George's actions imo
The jury will decide.
The kid didn't like being stalked, he confronted the stalker and was giving him a little b**** slapping beat down. The wanna be macho man turned Vigilante could not accept his limitations, so he pulled his gun(courage) and committed Manslaughter, possibly Murder..
The confrontation NEVER would have escalated if either of these two factors were present...GZ's identifying himself as opposed to playing cat and mouse or...GZ's not having his gun on him as this is what gave him the balls to leave his vehicle to pursue someone he perceived as suspicious.
But thinking your life was in danger, even if it wasn't, makes it OK to kill someone?
How do you know its was not. Unless you are in that exact situation you do not know if a life was in danger. All that matters is that the person being attacked felt thier life was in danger. If they say it was, then it was.
But yet we still see post after post alluding that Martin was a drug addict...which then justifies him being shot.
Who said that? Which post? Got a link?
