Trayvon had no history of violence, yet he is being made out to be a vicious thug. Zimmerman has a history of violence, yet he is being made out to be the victim. Go figure.
what about his father being worried about him and keeping him locked up in the house? http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/30/us/trayvon-martin-profile/index.html
watch the video towards the end of the video the only reason he left the house is because he beg his father to go to the store
Even if that is true, it doesn't mean Trayvon has a history of violence. We know for a fact that Zimmerman does.
That doesn't mean he was "locked up". But while we are at it. Here's some other quotes from the story that you "skipped" over. "He was a shy kid," said family friend and former football coach Jerome Horton. "He didn't want to be the center of attention; that's just not him. Irving remembered Martin as "a polite kid" who enjoyed flying. "He would literally go to school and from school he would go to the park to volunteer to maybe about 8, 9 o'clock and go home," said Horton. "That was Trayvon's day, his week." "Whatever he had dealings with the school, it was not criminal, it was not violent, he's never been arrested." Darrell Green, a fellow football player and close friend, said Martin was no different from any other teen. "Everybody gets in trouble," said Green, "Everybody goes through it." Green remembered Martin as a "positive person" and a "good friend." . . . thanks for the link!
A guy like this would probably have his rage go out of control if he was demanding for someone to stop and they weren't "obeying" him. It's easy to see how he started to chase the kid and escalate to the point of killing him.
I found it creepy that one of the witnesses said that with Martin dead, Zimmerman was straddling his body, one foot either side of him and pressing down on his back with his hands. What's that about? The witness wanted to know why Zimmerman wasn't turning him over to try to revive him. I found the description particularly creepy. Do you straddle someone you've just killed in self defence? Looks and sounds like an "aggressor" posture to me. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2...-zimmerman-never-tried-to-help-trayvon-martin
I wouldn't call something that happened 7 years ago a "history of violence". You people are really going all out to make Zimmerman look bad.
Was Zimmerman convicted of anything? I am no fan of his actions on the Martin death, but I am not going to convict the man without proof. Why are you lefties so racist against the Latinos?
Fully grown adult gets belted up by puny 17year old 1on1,ok there goes the pink elephants. A Racist animal shoots dead a Young blackman and dosen't even get charged is a bit of a problem ,even if it was self defence he should face PUBLIC TRIAL ,in order to establish the fact. Its called all being equal in the eyes of the Law,oh well US Society decends further away from basic democratic principles.
Who says the shooter Zimmerman is racist? Did he have a background or history of racist remarks, behaviors, allegiances, associations? Not that I'm aware of (tell me if I'm wrong, but post links!) I don't think race played the lead card here. I think he is about power, and this kid didn't "obey" him, and that drove him to rage and over the edge.
Oh yeah... the "unnamed former co-worker"; standard Leftninny "source". Trayvon's OWN EMAILS have him bragging about assaulting a bus driver, BOTH eyewitnesses have him assaulting Zimmerman, and the State has NOT RELEASED his juvenile record. Zimmerman has NEVER been charged with ANY KIND of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, and his resisitng arrest was a DIVERTED VERDICT. Make up much bullcrap?
Trayvon had been suspended for getting in trouble at school. Have you ever heard of grounding a teenager? That's the first time I've ever heard it referred to as "locked up in the house". If I'm not mistaken, that's why he was with his father in the first place and sounds like good parenting to me.
Agreed...I kind if wish the race angle never came into play as A) it muddies up the debate...and B) it is most likely a non racial issue... I think Zimmerman is guilty and I also think this is DEFINITELY NOT a "hate crime"
Zimmerman has an arrest record, a court ordered restraining order against him for domestic violence, and an eye witness account of his violent temper.
