Also, how’s Zimmerman supposed to know what Trayvon’s “history” was? He never met him before and didn’t know him from Adam. Sounds like TM started establishing his “history” upside Z’s head on the night in question.
I don’t care what someone’s history is when they are currently, punching me to the ground, sitting on top of me, slaming my head on cement and looking at my gun while telling me I am going to die. Unless I am doing suicide by hoodie, I am going to shoot the idiot before he does me in. I don’t care his color or age, either.
If he was a good citizen he would have asked Martin (between bounces of his head on the sidewalk) if he had any history violence. Prior to that night, I mean.
“Even a detective who interrogated the neighborhood watch leader pointed out inconsistencies in his story, particularly Zimmerman’s claim that Martin punched him and slammed his head onto the ground when the teenager had no prior history of violence.”
This is supremely idiotic. That is not an “inconsistency.” It may make Zimmerman’s story more likely to be believe had Martin an arm’s-length rap sheet. But all he has to answer is “Hey, I didn’t ask him for his criminal history when he was bashing my head.”
What journalism school dropout wrote this dreck?
