Exactly. If Martin had killed Zimmerman, he would have had an iron clad defense under the stand your own ground law. Zimmerman came at him with a gun. Taking his gun away and shooting him with it would have been his legal right.

I wish you guys would do some actual research instead of just spouting your opinions. Listen to the police call in its entirety. Zimmerman lost Trayvon and was walking back to his truck when Trayvon surprised him. Zimmerman had wounds on the back of his head and a broken/bloody nose; this was confirmed by both the police and the medics reports. Now I don’t know what happened after that but neither do you. Why don’t you cool it until the investigation completes.

The only problem with your theory is that Zimmerman did not come after Martin with a gun. (Hence no arrest) Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle, when Martin jumped him. The gun was exposed in the struggle and Martin tried to take it. (Probably not to admire the craftsmanship). At that point, Martin was the assailant, and Martin was the one going for a gun.

Look at the pictures of Trayvon at 14. He’s got a nice set of teeth.

Look at the pictures of him at 17.

He cannot have had such poor dental hygiene as to warrant that many gold crowns in such a short period of time, lest of all in the manner in which they are installed.

Further, wouldn’t a dental practitioner need parental consent to do that much dental work on a minor?

The “grill work” would need to be paid for, eh? Who paid for that, and where did the money come from? From the sounds of things Trayvon’s mother didn’t have the cash for such dentistry, would you as a father allow your son to destroy his teeth with that sort of thing and would you pony up the money to do so?

The bottom line is that Trayvon was not going to live to see 25 years old. He would have been killed on the streets by another thug competitor in a year or two at the max.

Why lose any sleep over this kid? He had chosen his path in life and he chose badly. His life just ended a little sooner than the statistics may have suggested.
