This article is still full of bull, despite supposed statistics. It remains an isolated incident that appears to have escalated to shocking results.
In addition to the eyewitness, we have yet to learn if there were indeed a bag of candy, skittles, or an ice tea bottle on the scene. All the touting of the skittles and tea make me want to know if it was actually that, or drugs and pot. Saw a reference to the nearest store to buy these was 2 miles away and he would have had to walk in the rain. I am curious about a lot more than what Trayvon’s family and crew keep spouting off about.
As to the suggestion that the violence inflicted upon Zimmerman didn’t warrant a gun...isn’t that what the FL law is all about? It wasn’t Zimmerman’s responsibility to get himself out of that situation without defending himself. A head injury can be fatal, should he have waited till he was unconscious before he pulled the gun?
