Please correct me if I'm wrong, but... Trayvon Martin was walking down the street. George Zimmerman initiated contact. A fight ensued, and Zimmerman shot and killed Martin.
Most of us here are "manly" men. If we were minding our own business and someone confronted us, the situation would probably escalate and we would be kicking some ass! Then suddenly we are shot and killed my the person who initiated contact. Because we are tough and they are wimpy, they are found not guilty. I find this scary!
"Please correct me if I'm wrong, but... Trayvon Martin was walking down the street."
my understanding is he was walking through a housing complex where zimmerman was doing a neighborhood watch, in an area that recently had several home break ins. if i was the dude walking through that housing complex instead of treyvon, and zimmerman initiated contact. i would have asked hi what he wanted, then told who i was where i was heading and that would have been the end up it. period!
i don't carry a chip on my shoulder, nor do i have an attitude issues. this young man was thrown out of the house by his own mother for being a problem, had several suspensions at school, evidently was dealing drugs as i doubt mom or dad flipped the coin to pay for his gold grille, seems he also had some stolen jewelry on his person at the time of his death...
i assume treyvon thought he could just beat down the porky lil mexican dude when he was confronted by him. treyvon was 6'2' 185lbs, he isn't the same cute 12 year old in the pics the media is showing everyone....
i have been in enough fights to know, that after punching someone in the face you go for the full mount and try to finish them quickly, which it seems is exactly what happened... treyvon didn't need to start a physical confrontation? it appears zimmerman shot him while on his back, the bullet entered the abdominal area and went up into his heart, the barrel up the gun was against his body when it was fired...
seems like a clean shoot to me and the jury, the local police did not file charges! the prosecution wasn't using facts in their arguments at trial, they were playing on the jurors emotions, as soon as the facts reared their ugly head, it exonerated zimmerman, that is why he walked... obama, the justice dept, the media, the horrific judge, the scumbag prosecutors, everything and everyone where stacked against zimmerman...except the facts... they were trying to railroad this dude... it didn't work..
