A neighborhood watchman approaches a suspicious looking young man (he was not a child by any means). When confronted, the young man had several options.
He could have respond no sir I am not doing anything wrong just walking home. Ok then be on your way.
He also could have ignored Zimmerman and just kept walking home.
He could have said F U, you creepy azz cracka, and why don't you mind your own business, and kept walking home.
none of those scenarios would have gotten him shot any killed.
It is clear that martin assaulted Zimmerman during the confrontation. There is concrete evidence of that That is what got him shot and killed. I am assuming Zimmerman began to loose the fight........he then reportedly feared for his life and pulled out his gun and shot martin.
The justice system prevailed despite media and political bias. I am very please to see that was the case.
Was martin up to no good. probably. but that's not what got him shot. What got him shot was assaulting Zimmerman.
Was Zimmerman a wanna be cop who got his rocks off playing cops and robbers. probably. Is he a Wussy *P for letting a 17 year old beat his azz. Id say so. Does that make him guilty of murder. Absolutely not.
RL if it were my kid that were killed in that scenario, I would know squarely where to put them blame. And Id wonder where I went wrong as a parent to allow my kid to grow up to be someone who would get them selves in that sort of a situation. I dont let liberal, biased media cloud my judgment.
X2 well said people have a tendency to base their opinions off the media, get actual facts before making ASSumpitons!!!! Their is a lot more to the situation as for blaming one or the other look outside the box at the big picture.
