This is where I disagree with Lonsberry. I personally don't think Zimmerman intentionally initiated the confrontation. I believe he defended himself when Travon challenged him.
I agree wholeheartedly with you and disagree completely with the non-wordsmith dummy who wrote this simple dissertation.
I continued to read because I wanted to hear the conclusion of the matter.
I'M praying Florida has a sufficient number of 2nd ammendmenters to protect life and property
"Most" don't know any such thing. I have no idea what the word "pursued" means here and there is no evidence that Zimmerman "confronted" Martin. Neighborhood watch volunteers certainly have the right to monitor strangers in the neighborhood who are acting suspicious and appear to be casing houses.
But when a reporter or columnist talks about Zimmerman and Travon, he exposes his bias.
Well, they’re less one since I moved away. But, there are a bunch of 2nd’ers still in FL. And a whole lot of them in the central FL area. So, let the looting begin.
They don't call us the Gunshine State for nothing.
There is no evidence that Zimmerman actually confronted the person of Martin. Since Zimmerman was physically attacked first, it is reasonable to conclude that Martin confronted Zimmerman.
I agree that “Most” don’t know any such thing. However, I would not be surprised to see this drag out until September so school will start. Hopefully, minimize the crap when Mr. Zimmerman is acquitted.
The article is absurd but, to the “Martin side”, completely plausible. That is the problem. It ignores the facts of the case that point to a Martin full of hubris confronting and attempting to beat the living sh** out of a short, pudgy guy, except the guy had a gun that he only used after he feared for his life.
It’s all there, right down to the eyewitness that saw the beating, the timing of events relative to their locations.
Zimmerman is utterly innocent, both legally and morally. That is, unless some new evidence presents itself to the contrary.
But meanwhile, to the low information racists, this article is very convincing and pretty well written. When Zimmerman walks, there will be blood, and this guy gets some of the credit.
“Most” don’t know any such thing.
I parted earlier at: Zimmerman was an over-zealous Neighborhood Watch volunteer
>the larger society’s perception of young blacks.
Perception becomes reality when enough members of a group behave in a common fashion. The fact that the media swamped the news with pictures of Martin in his innocent years shows bias against Zimmerman. Zimmerman should be acquitted and if the savages riot, let them reap their downfall.
Agree. I’ve seen nothing to indicate Zimmerman “confronted” the kid, he merely exercised reasonable curiosity about a strange person wandering around his neighborhood at night.
The Rodney King riots? Most of those arrested were illegal immigrants. It’s like the IRS scandals. It will bring to a head a bigger and different issue.
Where's the evidence Zimmerman was over-zealous?
He saw someone who appeared to be behaving suspiciously in a neighborhood that had had recent incidents of crime.
He called and reported that to the police, and attempted to see where the person was going and what he was doing.
Where's the evidence Zimmerman initiated the physical confrontation?
I see none at all. One followed the other and then one confronted the other and when the head pounding and the trigger pulling were done, Trayvon was dead.
Yes, but which one?
Let's be really Trayvon-friendly here, and assume that it was Zimmerman who confronted Martin.
I absolutely don't know that's the case, but let's go the extra mile and make that assumption.
Being confronted and asked what you're doing is no justification for viciously attacking someone.
Where's the evidence Martin viciously attacked Zimmerman? It's in the photo of Zimmerman's nose pounded to a pulp, stupid. It's in the fact that Martin didn't have a single discernible injury other than the gunshot that killed him.
This is an open-and-shut case. Morally, his hands are blood red.
Absolute bulls***.
Nothing has shown that Zimmerman confronted Martin. Zimmerman was heading back to his car after he lost sight of Martin and was going to get out of there.
>> Morally, his hands are blood red.
That’s the last time I will look at *anything* lonsberry writes.
He’s dead to me from this moment on.
Sorry for the paragraph failures there.
in the 92 riots, 58 people were killed. I wonder how many will die this time around.
