Evidence and facts be damned....
If he was so scared of Zimmerman..why didn’t he run away? Younger and fleet of foot he would have been home free.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what I just read.
The Zimmerman verdict sits like a stone in the guts of many Americans. . . because the mainstream media and hack academics such as the author here keep ramming it down everyones throatespecially the lies about it.
Perfessor dumbass sez..
What a silly article. Mind you, Zimmerman did have 10 actual advantages over Martin in their struggle...all of them 9mm hollowpoints.
So we know that the six foot two burglar and gun merchant was really a child because he wasn’t twenty five yet?
I take it we should raise the driving age, drinking age, age of consent, voting age, and age of military service to twenty five.
Had Trayvon simply not ATTACKED Zimmerman he’d still be alive today. It’s no more complicated than that.
Martin brutally assaulted Zimmerman... and was a head taller (if you like).
Another liberal moron hiding behind the whore’s robes of academia.
One advantage was that Zimmerman had an IQ at least 100 points higher than Trayvon. What’s the other advantage?
“That gave Zimmerman an advantage over Martin in the areas of cognitive analysis, abstract thinking, problem solving, determining and evaluating consequences.....”
That also applies to the below mentioned police officer and USMC veteran. I guess he was, unfortunately, either slower or plain unluckier than Zimmerman.
A gang of Latino punks thought it was amusing to key the private car of a police officer (and USMC Afghanistan/Iraq vet) Jonathan Molina, who lived in their neighborhood. When he confronted them, they assaulted him. One knocked him unconscious, and straddled him, beating his skull against the concrete. Theres a news story about the accused doers indictment.
Just like Trayvon Martin did to George Zimmerman. Just like Trayvon, the accused, Juan Gonzalez, was an unarmed child of 17. Unlike Zimmerman, Molina had more restraint, or perhaps he was already unconscious.
He suffered a fractured skull, internal head injuries and multiple facial fractures. He never regained consciousness and died nine days later.
Gonzalezs fellow gang members ratted him out to save their own skins. Gonzalezs skin is safe; despite being charged with capital murder of a police officer, he cant be executed because of his calendar age, but if convicted he can expect life without parole.
These are only accusations at this point, filtered through the media, and who knows what will come out in court (a lesson we learned from the Zimmerman case, as well as from Popehat and TalkLeft, two informative blogs by working defense attorneys).
Because Molina was a police officer, and because the homicide occurred in Texas, hes quite unlikely to have been charged if he had shot Gonzalez.
Just a teen. A kid. An unarmed kid.
Who killed him stone cold dead.
You dont need a weapon in your hand to commit murder. Not if you have murder in your heart.
And those primitive limbic structures made very good use,indeed,of a particular stretch of concrete sidewalk.And that clever usage,if allowed to continue,would very probably have killed Mr Zimmerman's "fully developed prefrontal cortex" the death of which,in turn,would have killed Mr Zimmerman.
FFS!! How much longer are we going to have to listen to this crap?
Trayvon wasn't attacked by George Zimmerman, it was Trayvon who initiated the fight.
Take a poll of NYT readers and see how many of them believe that. 10% maybe.
I cannot imagine how I'm still alive. I wonder about all the people in my life, where I was walking away from, that I "forced confrontation" with, and I wasn't surprise attacked. . .
I always wonder who's trial these commentators watched, as it certainly wasn't the George Zimmerman trail I was following.
“The Zimmerman verdict sits like a stone in the guts of many Americans.”
I seriously doubt that.
