re: #155 SanFranciscoZionist

I don’t know what happened.

However, as I’ve said all along, it would not surprise me to learn that a teenage boy confronted a stranger who was trailing him.

And I’d be hard-pressed to say that was the wrong move, except that he ended up dead.

He had no way to know he wasn’t going to end up dead either way.

Very good point! Thanks to the situation that Zimmerman created, any person who was being followed like that would have to wonder if his own life was on the line. Trayvon was a teenager in an impossible situation.

Like many other “public” cases, this case is unusual in that significant evidence happens to be in the public domain. We’ve all heard the 911 operator tell Zimmerman not to follow Martin, and we all know that Zimmerman continued to follow Martin. That’s reckless endangerment right there. That should be jail time right there, even if nothing else can be proven.

So if a jury gives Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt in regard to the final few minutes of this tragedy, I can accept that. But as far as I’m concerned, there’s already enough evidence in the public domain to convict Zimmerman on lesser charges.
