Very interesting UC. Thanks for sharing.
I think the simple synopsis is...
1. Bored; troubled teen Trayvon went to the store to get ingredients for an urban concoction to get high....”Purple Drank”, or some other variation.
2. Dee Dee/Rachel/Diamond was one of his Phone/FB chat buddies whom he conversed with frequently. They were not lovers.
3. On the way home from the store, TM appears to deviate from the direct path to his Dad’s home...acting suspiciously according to GZ. It is pouring rain at the time. As an aside, There are prior allegations that TM was in possession of/ suspended from school for stolen jewelry/property from residential break-ins and burglary tools.
4. GZ (Community Watch Captain) sees a stranger in the neighborhood acting suspiciously. It is Trayvon Martin. GZ calls the cops and tried to keep TM in sight until cops arrive...GZ isn’t confrontational, but I’m sure he is making it clear to TM that he is being watched.
5. TM told Dee Dee about GZ watching him
6. Dee Dee egged Trayvon on by playing to his gangsta mindset, and jokingly dared him to confront GZ because he might be “a rapist”...done purely to get a rise out of him and challenge his manhood....to provoke him to react.
7. TM sees a smaller “cracker” who he can beat down...and enhance his rep. I’m sure pics would have been posted on his FB account.
8. TM is a little jacked up and looking to score thug points with Dee Dee and his Facebook homies.
9.TM approaches GZ and proceeds to kick the snot out of him. I can almost guarantee GZ was stalling as much as he could, knowing the cops were on the way....praying they get there soon.
10. GZ was packing heat in a mixed neighborhood where violence and crime are not uncommon....smart on his part
11. During the scuffle; and with Trayvon saying, “You’re gonna die tonight MF” , TM sees GZ’s gun and reaches for it.
12. During the struggle, the gun goes off and someone dies.
13. TM lost....he made a fatal error in judgment. TM calculated that a smaller, weaker person would be easy pickin’s for a beat down. He forgot one major reality.... a gun is the ultimate equalizer....Our founders sure were smart.
Remember, GZ would probably be dead had he not been carrying....all because a young, angry, hormone-filled, racist thug teen was bored, high and challenged.....or dared. Had GZ not been carrying a gun, his head ultimately would have been an oblong, broken jar once holding his brains.
. My personal belief is that Dee Dee/Rachel hardly knew TM. She chatted with him ...along with lots of other people….in 3-way phone calls. He was just somewhere in the mix of her assorted chat buddies.....nothing special.
Rachel didn’t want any part of the funeral or trial because TM is dead because of her probable encouragement to confront the “creepy assed cracker (rapist)”, and play the “Knock-out game.” That night was a stupid, violent game that got way out of hand….played many times before without someone dying.
It’s not logical that minority advocate/minority citizen Zimmerman stalked/chased/profiled and confronted a larger, minority citizen and premeditatedly murdered him because of his skin color? ....after calling the cops and expecting them to arrive at any second? …didn’t happen.
I’m biting my tongue to opine as to the motivation of the plaintiff’s, and the “State”
You do the math....
