Well, apparently he was returning from the convenience store to his father’s house with Skittles at 7PM.
We're better than that aren't we?
And if you don't think theives will steal in their own neighborhoods, and this wasn't his or his father's neighborhood it was his father's fiance's neighborhood, then you are very out of touch.
Fine, the house was legally owned by his father's fiance but that seems like semantics. If his father was living there then Martin would have seen it as his father's house. And he was returning to that house from the 7-11 around 7 PM so I don't see how there is even less to back up the description I gave.
In any case, this is all beside the point. If he fought with Zimmerman, regardless of who initiated the fight, it would have been because he felt he was in danger. I just don't understand why people have to call him a gang banger when he had no violent history.
