re: #147 Dark_Falcon

Trayvon Martin was killed because he knocked George Zimmerman down and then pinned him to the ground. If he had not used force, he would not have been shot. Moreover, while Zimmerman was overzealous to be sure, he did not set out to kill Martin.

There is only GZ saying that, and there’s no evidence that is what happened.

What George Zimmerman did was to shoot someone who had him in a seriously bad position whom he thought was a criminal (though that last was not actually true). This is not the same thing as more than one man stalking, torturing, and killing a boy much smaller than they were simply for offending their belief in white supremacy.

Why, yes, it IS the same thing as one man stalking and killing a boy much smaller.
And Trayvon is still DEAD for being walking suspiciously as black.
In the dark.
In the rain.
In a neighborhood where he had every right to be in and GZ didn’t even know what street he was on.

good grief…
