re: #138 Targetpractice
If he had no need to confront, why did he?
A rational, sane, law-abiding person (your standard) would knowingly confront a person they don’t know, believe/know to be armed, instead of continuing to flee?
And if Martin had continued on to his house after Zimmerman had ceased pursuing him, he’d still be alive.
There were two sides to this altercation. Zimmerman’s bad choices do not nullify Martin’s.
Are you sure that it went down just as you describe? Aren’t there conflicting witness accounts as well as evidence not released thus far?
What’s your standard for a sane person who exits his vehicle with a gun in order to pursue, in wannabe cop fashion, someone he has seen commit nothing criminal?
Yes, there were two sides to the altercation. But Zimmerman set the whole thing in motion by trying to play police officer.
