It doesn’t really change the facts of the case. Martin did not go out looking for Zimmerman. Zimmerman went looking for Martin.
Then what happened???
I wasn't there and neither were YOU!
Take a deep breath and stop hating. It blinds your judgment among other things.
HMMMincase you do not realize it is perfectly legal to walk in your neighborhood watching someone suspicious.He did not confront the kid he did watch him as he thought he was casing the houses since there had been break-ins lately.When he was in his car and Trayvon saw him on the phone he ran between homes and that is when he got out of his car to look to see where he went then he was attacked from behind by Trayvon.
I nominate you to be the guy most likely to catch on last.
That does not give Martin the right to assault Zimmerman. Clearly Zimmerman would have been better off not following Martin but Martin was not authorized to assault Zimmerman more than Zimmerman was not authorized to follow Martin.
Going looking for someone is significantly different from striking or grappling with a person.
Yes, Martin went out looking for Treyvon...while on the phone with the police, telling them what he was doing. While he was told he “did not have to do that” he chose to anyway. This, by itself, would not have led to Treyvons death. When it got to the point of Zimmerman getting the crap beat out of him, on his back, the shooting was self defense. Period.
Given that the liberal media and the mob has been LYING abut the case, you may be confused about the so-called “facts.”
Well, at least he was doing his job instead of sitting at Dunkin Donuts. Since the media has reported that Mr. Zimmerman had found it necessary to place 60 calls to police (over a several year period) reveals that
(1) there was a lot of crime going on
(2) Mr. Zimmerman was out there doing his job.
All Mr. Martin had to do was use the cell phone he was talking to his girlfriend on to call the police.
Have YOU ever been involved with Neighboorhood Watch groups?
They are on the lookout for anything which is suspicious.
They do not “Go looking for trouble”.
I find it very difficule to believe that Zimmerman was ‘looking for Martin’ specifically.
IF you have never lived where the neighboor dramatically changed & you never needed a Neighboorhood Watch, I applaud you.
For those of us who have seen & felt & lived with such sudden changes in our happy single family home neighborhoods, we know things can be alot different.
The 1971 Los Angeles earthquake INSTANTLY turned nice single family home areas into overpopulated areas with multiple people living 20 to a house & with no connection to the OWNERS in the neighborhood. It was disgusting. The white flight was added to the problem with the ‘integration’ of the schools & the bussing of kids 2 hours each way.
I lived it. Couldn’t go to the grocery store after dark-—too dangerous. Locking gas caps on your vehicles or you got your gas stolen. Dogs who were keeping watch got poisoned. Burglary rates skyrocketed. Sirens all night long. ‘Sky King’—the LAPD helicopter circling almost every night. Gunshots heard over a mile nightly. A large ‘low income’ apartment complex so bad that cops refused to go into there in BROAD DAYLIGHT. At least one body a day dragged out of there by the EMT’s or the Coroner, according to the nurse who lived on our street & worked at what was once the best trauma center in the area-Northridge Hospital. Today, the trauma center is closed because too many gang problems & no one was paying for their problems.
I learned to sleep with 2 dogs in the house, my shotgun & with a 2’ square fan running all night to create ‘white noise’.
I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I will never go back. The clean & neat single family houses today look like East LA. 5 cars parked on every lawn that was once well-tended & had flowers on the borders. LaBomba noise all night & day, no matter whom you asked to shut it down lower.
The 1994 earthquake only made it much worse. No one I knew when I lived there is still there.
