We are in bizarro world. We’re supposed to be liberal, and think that Trayvon could do no wrong. The liberal view is that Zimmerman provoked things because he was following Trayvon.
Though evidence suggests that Trayvon was beating up Zimmerman badly, the liberals say that Zimmerman’s injuries weren’t that bad. They also say that Trayvon was scared someone was following him. In liberal land, we’re not supposed to say anything about Trayvon being a gang banger in training.
I think it’s quite possible that Travyon felt “dissed” or disrespected. In ghetto culture, the worst thing you can do to someone is diss them. And in ghetto culture, the response to being dissed is violence. Trayvon was probably acting out on his ghetto upbringing. But we’re not supposed to say that, because it offends the sensibilities of liberals. To liberals and race baiters, Zimmerman started the fight. We’re not supposed to say anything about whether he was acting suspiciously, because that would be racist, and liberals would say he was racially profiled. Racial profiling is against the ten commandments of liberalism.
I guess to be PC now, if a young black thug is beating you up you are supposed to evaluate your injury and then maybe decide, “This isn’t so bad. I won’t use my gun to defend myself. Maybe he’ll stop.”
