“Again, the only story that we have is George Zimmerman’s.”
Yeah, and the reason for that is that Zimmerman killed Martin. This means that Zimmerman’s story should be regarded with more suspicion, not less just because his is the only story.
“Zimmerman could have been aggressive and provoked Martin. There is just no evidence to show it.”
What are you talking about? It is not disputed that Zimmerman followed Martin in his car and then got out and approached him. That in itself, when done by anyone other than a police officer, is aggressive and provocative behavior. We don’t know if the kid tried to run or stood his ground and fought, but either way, he did nothing wrong and Zimmerman is still a murderer. The facts speak for themselves. Maybe Zimmerman just wanted to “detain” him but he had no legal authority to do so and the kid would have been perfectly justified to see him as a threat.
What could he possibly have yelled to Martin as he got out of his car that would not have identified him as a threat? “Freeze, Neighborhood Watch”?
Also, Zimmerman is 28 while Martin was 17 and 100 pounds lighter. Is Zimmerman that much of a wimp that he wouldn’t have been able to handle a kid in a physical confrontation without shooting him?
Some say the "kid" was over 200 lbs, 6'-3" and a varsity athlete. Does anyone actually know what Trayvon's height and weight was?
