re: #189 Vicious Babushka

Even IF (for argument sake) Trayvon was a gangbanger, or a drug user or a juvenile delinquent, how does that justify gunning him down?

Back in the early days of all this, folks found out that Zimmerman had two arrests that had been expunged, one included resisting arrest and hitting a cop. Even after the insinuation that his dad had helped him get off without jail time had died away, the argument was that his record of being a violent guy made it plausible that he’d attacked Martin and so Martin was engaging in self-defense by hitting Zimmerman.

If Martin has some violent history, would that not make it just as plausible that he hit Zimmerman first?
