That may be true, but then what does that make Trayvon Martin for attacking Zimmerman and beating his head so hard on the sidewalk it made him fear for his life?
Sounds like a guy who responded to a threat to me. It seems he was right to feel threatened. Zimmerman Is the type of guy who has no problem killing a man. It's just a pity he didn't have a gun so he could shoot that dangerous cunt first.
You don't have the right to attack someone you think is following you when they aren't doing anything unlawfully. Zimmerman had a right to walk on the sidewalk in his own neighborhood, to follow a suspicious character or not.
There is a 4 minute gap between their two encounters. Trayvon had plenty of time to run away, which he did, but then came back to attack Zimmerman instead of just staying gone.
He shouldn't have to of run away.
But he did. Then he snuck up on Zimmerman, jumped him from behind, sucker-punched him, knocked him down and got on top of him and started banging his skull into the sidewalk. THAT'S what authorized Zimmerman to kill him.
He should never of been approached in the first place.
Why not? He was a stranger in a gated community and it was Zimmerman's job to keep an eye on such people. If Martin had simply politely answered "I'm on my way to my dad's house at XXX YYY Street" and gone peacefully on his way, he'd be alive to day.
Zimmerman should of kept to himself like a normal person instead of playing the big man. He's a clown.
Zimmerman is not required to keep to himself. He's a free citizen of this country who can walk about his own private gated community as much as he likes, and he can talk to or ask questions of anyone he likes as well. I'd have done the same thing Zimmerman did in his situation, and have done exactly that hundreds of times over 50 years of chasing trespassers on my ranch. And I too carry a gun when I do that because I've had hunters point their shotguns at me and tell me to leave. That happened only once because from then on, during hunting season, I patrolled the property with an AR-15 at the ready and told anyone who was armed to drop their weapons or else.
And yes, I would have shot them if they refused and moved their muzzles one micro-inch in my direction, and been fully legally justified in doing so, just as Zimmerman was in his situation.
