[Langston Hughes]

The opening paragraph is wrong. i stopped reading right there.

 

 

Zimmerman's defense claim is basically this

 

Zimmerman was in his car when he spotted Trayvon Martin acting strange (wandering in the rain and staring at the houses), so he called the police. After seeing Zimmerman in his car, Martin started running off down the walkway between some of the buildings. Zimmerman then got out of his car but lost sight of Martin after a few moments. He continued in the same direction as Martin for a few hundred feet either to try to see where Martin went or to check the street name to give an address to the police (or both)

 

Zimmerman says he lost sight of Martin, but since the dispatcher advised him not to continue following, he started walking back to meet the police. Martin then approached him from behind and said "Yo, you got a problem?" Zimmerman said "No" and picked up his phone to call the police. Martin then said "Well, you do now" and punched Zimmerman in the face. Zimmerman was knocked to the ground while Martin got on top of him and started hitting him and bashing his head into the ground. Zimmerman says that when Martin saw his gun he tried to grab it saying "You're going to die tonight, motherf***er" so he only fired the gun in self-defense, believing his life was in danger

 

Bold is incorrect.

Martin did not run from Zimmerman at first sight and actually came back around. At that point in his interview with Det. Serino, Zimmerman told him that he did not speak to Martin but rolled his window up. He then followed Martin from the clubhouse to where he jumped out of the truck. This prompted questions from Serino about how he's too scared to talk to Martin from the vehicle but not to scared to chase after him.

He indicates in one of his interviews that he stopped running and continued walking to the next street to get an address after being told to stop following Martin then turned around and walked back into Martin who came out of the bushes.

He said, "I don't have a problem" not "No" which on the offense report is where the Det. mentions that he should have told Martin that he was neighborhood watch or a concerned citizen.

 

A glance at the rest of the questions talks about shit that's basically pro-Zimmerman deflection. all in all it's a pretty typical bullshit site.

Quote

Zimmerman's defense claim is basically this

 

Zimmerman was in his

car

when he spotted Trayvon Martin acting strange (wandering in the rain and staring at

the houses

), so he called the police.

After seeing Zimmerman in his car, Martin started

running

off down the walkway between some of the buildings. Zimmerman then got out of his car but lost sight of Martin after a few moments.

He continued in the same direction as Martin for a few hundred feet either to try to see where Martin went or

to check

the street name to give an address to the police (or both)

 

Zimmerman says he lost sight of Martin, but since the dispatcher advised him not to continue following, he started

walking

back to meet the police

. Martin then approached him from behind and said "Yo, you got a problem?"

Zimmerman said "No" and picked up his phone to call the police

. Martin then said "Well, you do now" and punched Zimmerman in the face. Zimmerman was knocked to the ground while Martin got on top of him and started hitting him and bashing his head into the ground. Zimmerman says that when Martin saw his gun he tried to grab it saying "You're going to die tonight, motherf***er" so he only fired the gun in self-defense, believing his life was in danger

So by your admission, the parts not in bold are correct. To reitterate, that would mean the following is true.

 

Martin then approached him from behind and said "Yo, you got a problem?" Martin then said "Well, you do now" and punched Zimmerman in the face. Zimmerman was knocked to the ground while Martin got on top of him and started hitting him and bashing his head into the ground. Zimmerman says that when Martin saw his gun he tried to grab it saying "You're going to die tonight, motherf***er" so he only fired the gun in self-defense, believing his life was in danger.

 

And since that is true, Zimmerman's life certainly was in danger meaning this entire case never should have happened.

 

A glance at the rest of the questions is the truth that the frenzied mobs screaming racism can't accept.

No, it would not mean that. Thanks for playing.

 

I was merely pointing out that the website could not even get Zimmerman's own statements correct. There is however no proof that what Zimmerman claims happened is correct, only that it's his side of the event.

[BlackHorse]

. There is however no proof that what the Trayvon Martin prosecutor claims happened is correct, only that it's their side of the event.

 

 

See how that works.

So we are all left to choose sides. I don't buy his and yours.

Of course not, because if you did you would have to side with the "white Hispanic" and that just doesn't jive with your racial politics. You're pathetic.

[ClutchTime]

You don't have to buy any side. Just look at the evidence instead of the media reports. A man with four visible bruises on the back of his head, three of which are lacerated, and a broken, swollen, and bloody nose. Another individual with marks on his fists consistent with striking someone and a single GSW. Multiple witness reports of someone on top of someone else with a voice screaming for help for about forty seconds. But since you don't believe Zimmerman's side of the story, how do you explain the evidence?

No reasonable person can, that is why Zman was found not guilty.

Only the truly stupid still try to make other theories work and fit a certain narrative.

What evidence do you want me to believe? That he went looking for trouble and found it. I believe that wholeheartedly. After that I don't buy Zimmerman's story. The question is why isn't Martin allowed any stand your ground claim here by you and others. He ran away and hid from the man and when eventually Zimmerman caught up to him again, why isn't he allowed to defend himself. Why can't he beat the hell outta some guy who might mean him harm. After all Zimmerman ran after Martin.

 

If your walking and someones following in a car, then when you run away they jump out the car and chase you are you wrong to believe they might mean you harm? You went to the store for skittles and are talking on the phone walking home. Why would someone chase you if they didn't mean any harm?

 

A big majority of these conservatives here are putting themselves in Zimmerman's shoes, worried about their stuff and burglaries. Not one of these internet culture warriors can seem to understand why Martin doesn't act like their 50 year old asses would. He's a thug, he posts stupid pictures on Facebook, blah blah blah. Too them he's not a young man who went to the store for some snacks and is talking to a friend on the phone and being harassed by some wannabe cop which is what he was. he's all these bad things about black culture rolled up into one convenient scapegoat. As for George well, they make all sorts of excuses for Zimmerman's past. Girlfriend files PPO, they have an excuse, Arrested for battery on a cop and resisting arrest, they have an excuse, does some stupid things the night of the shooting and they have excuses.

Giving him the home team discount see still. Laughable.

 

Why is it so hard to believe that Martin wasn't doing anything wrong and that after running and hiding from Zimmerman that maybe it's Zimmerman's fault they had an altercation. He ran down trouble and it bit his ass. Don't start no trouble, won't be no trouble.

Because Zimmerman was the one doing the chasing.

[FiredMotorCompany]

You put a lot of weight in your assumptions. Assuming Martin wasn't getting ingredients for "Purple Drank" or "Lean" or other "non-innocent child getting candy and soft drink" activity.

 

You string-up Zimmerman on his past behavior, yet you have yet to address the history of Martin over a similar time period.

Is it that difficult to extrapolate his history in school to the day he decided to jump a neighborhood watchman who noticed unusual behavior?

Do you even understand how stupid you are?

 

By your "version" of what happened George Zimmerman called 911 to report a suspicious person and then for some unknown reason after he made the call he decided that he would just go ahead and attack the suspicious person real quick before the police showed up. Its moronic. Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see what happened here. Trayvon Martin decided to handle George Zimmerman by attacking him and he got shot. Too bad if you can't accept that because it doesn't work for your racial political view.

LMAO, Isn't it funny how its okay to characterize Zimmerman as a "wannabe cop" and a "racist" but it's not okay to say that Trayvon Martin was a little punk ass thug even though he had already been suspended from school for fighting and theft and had marijuana in his system on the night in question. No he's a little angle. What the fuck ever moron.

 

 

Trayvon Martin learned a hard lesson the hard way. Don't attack people with guns.

What good is a neighborhood watchman that turns away when he sees something amiss?

Please specify exactly what you KNOW Zimmerman did that was illegal! Nada!

Please specify exactly what you KNOW Martin did that proves he didn't deserve to be shot! Nada!

 

The case was necessarily taken to trial to appease the "natives", as in, "We gonna burn everything if they don't arrest the white guy!"

So he was forced to face a murder charge. And the jury, duly selected, found reasonable doubt in the prosecutions case. He was not convicted in the courts......but in your heart and in the minds of unintelligent, thoughtless, easily charged-up, lynch mob mentality racists based on Zimmerman's race. If it had been black on black, you wouldn't even know the name of the victim.

 

Keep on trying to convince us you are intellectual and above racism yourself. You think highly of your self, even when others see through your hypocrisy.

First, it doesn't matter what Martin intended on using his purchase for. That is clearly outside of the scope of neighborhood watch.

 

I string up Zimmerman because he did those things as a 20+ adult. Martin did those things as a high school kid. I know a lot of kids who did stupid shit in high school who went on to be upstanding citizens. He also did not have a gun on him. I tend to harder on those people with a checkered past who then arm themselves. Had Martin been armed I would be as equally hard on him.

 

Is it that hard to extrapolate that Zimmerman has a history of violence and and blaming it on others so he is likely to portray himself as the victim.

Trayvon Martin was a punk ass thug on his way home to get high with the items he bought. If you want to disparage Zimmerman's character and call him a wannabe and a racist and all sorts of other accusations then we can play that same game with Trayvon. He was a punk thug on suspension from school for being a thief.

MAO, Isn't it funny how its okay to characterize Zimmerman as a "wannabe cop" and a "racist" but it's not okay to say that Trayvon Martin was a little punk ass thug even though he had already been suspended from school for fighting and theft and had marijuana in his system on the night in question.

Surely you realize that people do in fact get physically involved after calling or having someone else call the police. There was even a post on one of these threads showing that. Guy tells girl to call police, rushes down to confront suspects with firearm. Ends up shooting kid in the back. So your not telling me that it's unheard of for Zimmerman to have tried to grab Martins arm or something like that? Even you are not that dense.

 

As for calling him a wannabe cop, that was what he is. He applied and was rejected for police training.

[cal50]

Hypocrisy + stupidity is a better explanation.

 

No matter how you want to try to spin it Martin was killed during an assault, period.

If he had not decided to throw down on Zman he would be alive today.

 

Anyone that suggests otherwise is ignoring the facts of what happened and when Martin was shot and killed.

Spoken like someone who has no clue what he's talking about. Many if not most police departments typically have far, far, far more applicants than they have openings to fill. The same is true for most fire departments. Not being accepted to the academy does not make one a "wannabe". Many people will try numerous times before finally being accepted to an academy. Calling Zimmerman a "wannabe" is just a way for you to conveniently demonize him to suit your racial agenda. Trayvon Martin on the other hand was not a wannabe thug. He was in fact just a thug.

I don't fret over "wanna be" so much. I'm a "wanna be" multimillionaire philanthropist. And a "wanna be" Travel Channel host who is paid to experience the finest in dining and travel locations around the world.

 

And I'd prefer a "wanna be" police officer over a "wanna be" rap star thug or "wanna be" drug kingpin.

 

Yes, there are a lot more applicants of every job then there are openings, so the country is filled with "wanna be"s...Doctors, dog catchers, burger flippers, nurses, mechanics, Ford workers, ..............

 

How quick some people are willing to dismiss those who volunteer to help keep the community safer. I wonder if they feel the same way about volunteer firefighters? Are they just "wanna be"s?

So why does it matter what Zimmerman intended when attempting to maintain visual contact with a suspiciously acting person? What part of "watchman" means he ignores or walks away from what seems out-of-place?

 

And it is relevant if a high school student is expelled/suspended from school for such as stolen jewelry and marijuana, who HAPPENS to purchase two of three ingredients for "Purple Drank" when it is likely and reasonable that his Dad's girlfriend would have Robitusen DM in her medicine cabinet, innocently unaware young people use it and Skittles and tea to get high.

 

Such Angelic behavior for a 12 year old 17 year old.

Fired, I'm not anymore above racism than you are. And I'm not being an intellectual about Martin, I'm being biased and I admit it. I grew up more like Martin than probably you did, and I could see myself saying the exact thing to Zimmerman.
