At 17, the year I graduated from high school, I played soccer and baseball. I felt fit to wrestle anybody in my class, and did in gym. two years later, I'd been on the railroad section gang before going to Army recruit school. Another fellow and myself drove 1,000 railroad spikes in one day, gandy-dancing. On another day, a coworker freshly out of the MPs and I shouldered a 500lb switch tie and walked away with it. I was 6ft 0in and 175lb.

In the recruit school, we were given a combat situation with the Aggressors (RA troops) surprising us, ordering us to yield our rifles. The lesson was on the part of the Code of Conduct "I will never surrender while I have the means to resist." I refused, and it took 7 Aggressors, three down with butt-swipes and one kneed Aggressor officer, to get me down and bound. I almost got court-martialed, but finally was given a commendation in my DA201 jacket.

Considering Trayvon of about the same size and strength, George, in his size and shape, did not have a chance against such a deadly attack. A different angle and method of blow could have driven George's nasal bone directly back into his brain and killed him on the spot. A young, strong man, fit for Army service and armed with nothing but some martial training and surprise, is about as deadly as one can get in an unequal fight without Marquis of Queensbury rules.

There is no doubt in my mind after seeing the results that Trayvon Martin got exactly the reward he deserved for attacking another citizen with such determination and malice, and for abandoning any kind of respect for a community adult resident.

It is beyond likelihood that had not George been armed, he would be dead, and Martin would now be being tried for premeditated murder with malice aforethought, based on his actions and the cell phone records.

Any misled supporter of Martin, his behavior, and his shenannigans of record, is criminal-minded themselves, and despicable, IMHO. And that could be some little old granny who is willing to submit to the duplicity of the purveyors of race terrorism, demonstrations, and riots.

The are some over looked scenarios in my opinion.

When Martin was at the 7-11 the video shows that he wanted some thing behind the counter. The clerk indicated no. Can’t hear what they are saying but can see the hand motions. When Martin left He had his change and a Watermelon drink in a 7-11 plastic bag in him left hand. The next to enter the 7-11 were three people, one had bills in his hand. He purchased two cigars and paid from them with the bills in his hand. I think that the cigars are what the clerk would not sell Martin. Later the man purchased another cigar. This time he took money from his wallet to pay for it. Martin stayed out side the 7-11 for about 4 minutes and can be seen leaving after the three men left.
