Hardcore troubadour 12,636 Posted December 5, 2019 It still baffles me that people don't see that Zimmerman was the reason for this whole thing. Sure, Treyvon was no Boy Scout and I would probably not like him, but if Zimmerman stays in his car this never happens. It's that simple. He had no right or authority to engage. He started a fight that he was losing so he shot him. End of story. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,558 Posted December 5, 2019 Well, there was no eye witnesses as somebody posted. I think we've all reached the same conclusion that Zimmerman's account of the actual confrontation/shooting is accurate, that he was getting his ass kicked and shot Trayvon and the voice we heard on the recording shouting for help was likely his, not Trayvon's. For me, I was always openminded on it, but I'd begun the process assuming it was Trayvon's voice. As far as the situation leading up to the incident as well.... we can see that obviously if the judgement of both/either had been different this wouldn't have happened. : Zimmerman suspicious of this person he doesn't know. Whatever you think of his decisions, you can understand the thought process of an overzealous neighborhood watch guy wanting to learn more. Meanwhile, Trayvon wondering why this unknown creep was was watching him and following him home, you can also understand how this kid was walking home thinking "Who the hell is this a$$hole following me" and not just willing to stir at home and suck up getting profiled but seeing WTF is up with that. He'd done nothing wrong until he turned around... and to fault a teenager for being pissed off enough to turn around ... eh. A lot of us might have turned around; a lot of us might have investigated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,890 Posted December 5, 2019 8 hours ago, Cruzer said: Seeing how Zimmerman was the only person to actually see who attacked who - maybe he is the mystery eye witness some speak of. Lot of master logicians are pretty quick to accept the account of the shooter in this one. Given GZ’s history and temperament I think it’s a strong possibility he tried to physically detain Trayvon and got his ass whupped for it. All we know for sure is none of it happens if Zimmerman let’s the cops handle it like they told him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peenie 1,690 Posted December 5, 2019 Why would Zimmerman be screaming for help if he had a gun. You all are ridiculous. I'm not arguing this point. I feel Zimmerman was trailing Trayvon, asked him where he was going and then a fight ensued and Zimmerman shot him. You're not going to convince me otherwise. I think OJ was guilty.

But all Zim had to do to prove self defense is that Martin initiated physical contact and he feared for his life. And the only proof was his testimony.

And we don't know exactly what started the physical aspect of the confrontation. But given that I think Zimmerman is a poosey coward, I doubt he did. Trayvon is a punk who I don't doubt would start a physical confrontation with someone. So, I suspect he did, Zimmerman was getting his a$$ kicked, and he shot Trayvon. Seems simple to me. And Zimmerman is a disgusting human being for creating that situation. But he didn't do anything LEGALLY wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,690 Posted December 5, 2019 Just because Zimmerman says they switched witnesses doesn't mean they actually switched witnesses. Why wait until years after the case to mention this fact.

The jury said yes so that’s your answer. But he created the entire situation by playing wannabe cop, stalking Martin and failing to heed the direction of the real authorities.
