I think everyone here is at a consensus that everything is upon this- but who truly started the 'confrontation' - you state Zimmerman did- if true then yes -- if it was Martin then no.i guess for the sake of the thread then, here's what logically happened:
1. zimmerman is on ultra-watchman duty due to a recent rash of crime
2. zimmerman sees a thug looking, unfamiliar guy
3. trayvon sees a sketchy cracker eyeballing him
4. they eventually confront each other
5. they fight, Trayvon wins the tussle
6. Zimmerman shoots trayvon because Trayvon has him mounted
you're all welcome. Zimmerman is at fault because he had no authority to confront Trayvon.
Carrying your firearm is actually more reason to avoid confrontation... because you're probably going to shoot somebody if shit goes down.
I seen this going to a mostly black/hispanic school, they just always seem so angry for whatever reason, daddy aint home, moms a prostitue, they dont have a xbox 360, or some shit.I think everyone here is at a consensus that everything is upon this- but who truly started the 'confrontation' - you state Zimmerman did- if true then yes -- if it was Martin then no.
I still "feel" that Martin initiated the confrontation - not only out of timeline evidence but because of my life experiences, mostly being poor and white and in a desegregated public school system. Blacks are very racist to whites... and whites are everyone but blacks or Asian... but usually Asian will be thrown in to whites also. I have seen many, many cases of where just looking at a black kid got a white kid jumped on- in class in the middle of a lesson for no fucking reason- many times. There was this one fat white kid I knew and was friends with- we hung out- us fat kids had to stick together... well I was at a school in my middleish-school years for the not so smart- because, as you all know I cant spell worth a shit- but I could read at kindergarten and always tested above grade level- even in English- and my teachers for fuck all couldn't deal with it - so I was shipped off to the school that took all us poor kids that needed help, oh and all the bad kids because where else are you going to send the next generation of inmates (my school had barbed wire on the top of fences) -- anywho back to my story... this white kid would daydream at the drop of a hat- lunch, PE, math...whatever - good chance you look at him he is going to stair off into space, well one day his daydream gaze happened to be in the path of some black kid that took affront to this- so he jumped up and pushed the kid out of his seat and on the floor- the teacher intervened. This happened again a few weeks later- the white kid got told to stop daydreaming as it was initiating the aggravation of the random black kid who didn't like being looked at.
You act like 47 times is a huge number. He was being a neighborhood watchman WHO IS SUPPOSED TO CALL when he sees suspicious people. Most likely many of those calls were followups to the first call of an incident also.Zimmerman called 911 FORTY SEVEN TIMES IN ONE YEAR to report people that were the wrong color to be in his neighborhood.
So how does that allow T to come up and beat the shit out of the guy?Wow, you guys sure went full retard while I took a nap.
Zimmerman called 911 FORTY SEVEN TIMES IN ONE YEAR to report people that were the wrong color to be in his neighborhood. He was a racist, paranoid nutjob with a gun. This was going to happen sooner or later, and while it's probably going to end up being the correct result based on how our justice system is set up, it's still sad that he's going to get away with it.
You know the guy jerks off every night thinking about his epic victory.
From wikipedia on the background to the shooting...47 times is a huge number.
So he had multiple calls for example on a pit bull that was loose. Being a watchman for a year, and considering you have to call multiple times to get police to show up for pretty much anything, I don't see 47 as being a large number.Three weeks prior to the shooting, on February 2, 2012, Zimmerman called police to report a young man peering into the windows of an empty Twin Lakes home. Zimmerman was told a police car was on the way and he waited for their arrival. By the time police arrived, the suspect had fled. On February 6, workers witnessed two young black men lingering in the yard of a Twin Lakes resident around the same time her home was burglarized. A new laptop and some gold jewelry were stolen. The next day police discovered the stolen laptop in the backpack of a young black man, which led to his arrest. Zimmerman identified this young man as the same person he had spotted peering into windows on February 2.[63]
Zimmerman had been licensed to carry a firearm since November 2009. In response to Zimmerman's multiple reports regarding a loose pit bull in the Twin Lakes neighborhood, a Seminole County Animal Services officer advised Zimmerman to "get a gun",
