B/c ALL the circumstantial information up to TM death paints a different picture of both people's motives. One person was a guest in the neighborhood. He went out for snacks. He ran from Zimmerman when he realized he was being stalked.

The other stalks a guy through a neighborhood. Complained about these "punks always get away" to the dispatcher. Ignored police direction.

From that information, who would you think was the person who instigated a confrontation.

Go bang something comparable to a human skull against concrete repeatedly (as Zimmerman claims) and see how long it takes for it to shatter and spill out its contents. I would never have believed that anyone would be gullible enough to believe that a human skull could take that kind of percussion and not crack open like a walnut. I also would never have believed that anyone actually accepts the lie that Zimmerman did not know the name of the street he was on considering the fact that the entire cmplex was three blocks in its entirety and he was the watch guy (some freakin' watch guy).

In this instance the guy on the prowl carrying the loaded gun was the would-be murderer before he shot Trayvon Martin.
Your version is so much better than the real facts.. The facts don't fit your agenda, so why not make up a wild story?
Doesn't matter at all the the teenage thug attacked and attempted to kill GZ. Poor little fellow didn't get the street cred he was seeking. He did become famous though, perhaps that is enough for him...

But we have evidence that Trayvon had made it home and then left the safety of the home to go look for Zimmerman (the "creepy-assed cracker"). What purpose could he have had other than to initiate a confrontation? Why didn't he just call the police?

"I asked him where he at, and he told me he at the back of his daddy fiancee house."

In contrast, Zimmerman had been talking to the police and simply wanted to help locate a potential burglary suspect for them. What kind of criminal mastermind calls the police and invites them to the location where he intends to start a fistfight with someone or murder someone?

If Zimmerman had all of this MMA training, then how come there wasn't any evidence of being punched or hit on Trayon? Why is all of the physical evidence of attack on Zimmerman?

I heard a radio station say today say, that this big necked bi#$% was a bad witness. If Martin was at the back his home, why did he leave and go back to Zimmerman and confront him?

Does anyone really buy that they'd be cool with having a Zimmerman type following them around in the dark? If they were in Martin's shoes, they'd curse themselves for being unarmed.
Especially if they knew about SYG. They'd shoot, claim they felt they were in imminent danger, and the Right would have held him up as a champion of gun ownership. Suddenly replace the gun w/ fists and the story becomes "why didn't he run fast enough"

Translation: I don't like the way certain black people talk. It brings me joy when one of them is killed.
