Never let facts get in the way of a great exploitable narrative.
Aptly put. Trayvon crossed a line when he assaulted George Zimmerman, and he stayed on the other side of it while George Zimmerman (and no one else) screamed for help while Martin continued to batter him.But the climax of the tragedy began when John Good demanded that they - Zimmerman could do nothing to comply - stop it. "Poor little Trayvon" showed no signs of listening to an adult, and Good made a blunder. He was first on the scene, but he acted on the assumption that the Police were the first responders. So Good left the scene, and the battered George Zimmerman, having endured for what seemed like an eternity was left to survive in the jungle as best he might - for how much longer he could not know.John Good was the only neighbor who ventured to approach the scene, and John Good went by the book, as far as any liberal would be concerned. But the result of his passive response was that he failed to succor George Zimmerman - and in the process, failed to save the life of Trayvon Martin. For whatever happened in George Zimmermans mind after that - and for that we can only have George Zimmermans unverifiable and self-interested word - George Zimmerman became willing, and able, to draw and fire his gun. And did. Once.
