The kid, my grandson, did not miss the part about Zimmerman being pinned to the ground. He wondered who started the altercation: was it the armed guy who was chasing the kid or was it the kid who was trying to get away from the wierdly acting guy who was following him? No one knows.
Everyone is touting that there’s a witness ... but the witness arrived after the altercation began, he did not see who started it.
Obviously, the kid got the upper hand quickly much to the dismay of Zimmerman who then began to call for help.
Question ... how did Zimmerman unholster his gun while pinned to the ground? Could it be that he had it unholstered and in his hand when he went into the darkened area behind the houses. Could it be that the kid saw the gun and jumped at Zimmerman instead of turning and running away with the possibility of being shot in the back?
Further... you stated "Obvious" the "kid" got the upper hand..... How do you know?...It could very well be the so called "kid" attacked Zimmerman as he was getting into his SUV, as has been suggested is what happened and he never had a chance to defend himself other than as stated.
So your comment would suggest you may already be taking the verbiage bait being feed by the media....and as much your grandson....when it would be a perfect time to explain that verbiage matters in the message given....and that media does not have the facts and neither do we.
Hey Alice, just for the record, are you Black?
