Everything being claimed about this case was also claimed about Zimmerman.

I still haven't heard a good explanation of what the popcorn thrower was going to do next. Turning his back on someone he just attacked and sitting down seems totally irrational to me.

I'm sure that Trayvon Martin was surprised as hell to get shot dead. That was probably the furthest thing from his mind. He was just going to teach some "creepy ass cracker" a lesson.

My guess is that the popcorn thrower also didn't consider the possibility of being shot either and also was determined to teach a lesson.

What do you think was going to happen if no gun had been drawn?

That’s a ridiculous analogy.

I think what will happen next is you are going to generate a zot warning. Stop it.

You cannot be serious, comparing this incident to Zimmerman.

With Zimmerman, he was having his head bashed against the sidewalk. The level of assault had escalated to clear intent to kill.

Throwing popcorn is the lowest level of assault. No physical contact was made. No injury rendered. It was a clear over-reaction.

No one takes such an absurd moral equivalence attempt seriously.

WRONG --------------

Zimmerman got the crap beat out of him, head bleeding front and back, a guy sitting on his chest, head being beaten into the sidewalk, and he was screaming for help that never came.

And despite all of that the prosecution still argued that that did not rise to the level of the use of deadly force.

This nutcase had a mere bag of popcorn thrown at him and he kills in cold blood.

Wake up -- and smell the difference.
