That was indeed Trayvon’s fatal mistake.
If you don’t like the guy who’s following you, don’t wait around for him with the idea you’re going to get blood out of him.
I concur. The persecution (no typo) in this farce trial tried to raise a fog of mocking innuendo about what Mr. Z must have done to deserve the attack from Mr. M, including a possibility (but never asserted as a positive theory and sounding wildly extravagant given the available evidence and testimony, even Ms. Jeantel’s version) that Mr. Z. first assaulted Mr. M. The ever liberally-PC persecution even muffed what its best chance was to “get” Mr. Z. by not outright positing some kind of sexually molesting come-on by Mr. Z to which Mr. T. responded in “understandable” hot temper, which come-on from other evidence seems very out of character for Mr. Z. God turned the persecution’s wisdom to foolishness that day which is what I and probably hundreds of others earnestly prayed. Occam’s Razor suggests powerfully that yes, Mr. T. was just a young punk trying to enforce his own version of street law, a mirror image of what the hyenas are howling at Mr. Z. for allegedly doing. And why can’t the hyenas at least respect Mr. Z. for winning if that was the rules of the battle? This thing is fueled from hell, at least as far as the hyenas are concerned.
agh. Mr. T. => Mr. M.
This watch type person wasn't the nicest guy, but that was no reason for the three of us to take him out. He may have been afraid, too.
