That was my first thought, when I heard that she put the idea in Trayvon's head that Zimmerman was a gay rapist coming after him and his little brother. I turned to my friend and said "She got Trayvon killed!"
Seriously, let's face it, neither Trayvon or Jeantel were Eintein by all accounts and once she put that gay predator notion in Trayvon's head, he ran with it. Think how things might have been different that night if when Trayvon told her a "creepy ass cracker" was watching him, she would have just responded, "Oh, he's probably looking for directions or something. Just ignore him Trayvon."
Unless gay rape is prevalent in Haiti, I think she’s lying about the telephone conversation. Trayvon who was unquestionably into being a gangsta wasn’t terrified. Zimmerman was an opportunity for playing the knock out game and bragging afterwards about the beat down to his friends. rayvon knew the neighborhood.
He started running to turn the corner ino the commons area, hide, and wait to ambush Zimmerman. When Zimmerman turned around and started back to meet the police, Trayvon had to leave his hiding place to confront Zimmerman.
Remember when Zimmerman got to a location to see the commons area, Trayvon had disappeared.
