That is a good analysis, Kristinn. Probably very close to how the whole incident went down.
HST, my contention is that Martin provoked the fight that led to his death — he could have — should have — gone to his father’s condo rather than conFRonting Zimmerman.
I’ll be interested to see how the lawyers FRame it in their arguments and counter-arguments.
I’m rooting for a Zimmerman acquittal, followed by a Zimmerman lawsuit against the state of Flori-duh for wrongful arrest and prosecution.
It wasn't his father's condo. It was his father's girlfriend's condo.
I agree with you that Martin provoked the fight. Or rather that he was worried that if the police were called, he would end up being kicked out of his father's girlfriend's condo, where he was living in VIOLATION OF RENTAL AGREEMENT. So, he took the immature and drug-addled action of trying to punch out Zimmerman so he couldn't call the police and so that he could escape.
One could IMAGINE that Trayvon's father had already admonished him NOT TO GET IN ANY TROUBLE OR HE'S OUT. That was 'likely' a CONDITION of Trayvon moving in that the 'girlfriend' has specified. If she didn't, then she would have to be a completely irresponsible person.
