Zimmerman tweets picture of kid he murdered.

[M14 Shooter]

This isn't a fucking football game. We are discussing the ending of a human life here.

Yes... where the person who ended the life was found not guilty.
You hate this fact; the fact that you hate this fact does not change it.

He was found not guilty in a trial which the prosecutor put up the flimsiest case...

...blah blah blah.
Not guilty.
Your mindless, bigoted hate will never change that.

That assumes that Zimmerman attacked him. Again, not in evidence.

zimmerman stalked him. he followed him. and then something happened.
now if zimmerman attacted martin, martin was acting in self defense. if martin attacked zimmerman, martin was acting in self defense. either way, what scenario do you see where a man being stalked by another man doesn't have the right to self defense?

Zimmerman was on neighborhood watch. He contacted the police. He had the right to keep an eye on Martin. Jumping someone from behind a bush is not self defense. Now, had Zimmerman indicated that he was a threat to Martin, something we know did not happen since Z was on the phone with the police, you could make a case for self-defense. Unfortunately, in this case, the evidence simply does not support your claim.

he stalked a kid at night in the rain. you wouldn't find that threatening?

Whether I would find that threatening or not is irrelevant. My reaction, however, IS relevant. I gave several options that Martin could have employed that would have left him alive that night. At the end of the day, you can claim Martin had the right to attack Zimmerman all you want (though I do not accept that is legal), but once he did, Zimmerman certainly had the right to defend himself (which he did). What Martin did was just plain dumb, dumb, dumb. There are times you can take legal actions that are really, really stupid. Can you at least admit that Martin did not display the highest intelligence by his actions?

We don't know what those actions are

We know he didn't call 911 when he suspected he was being followed. We know he did nothing to attract the attention of the neighbors. We know he ended up in a physical altercation with a man who was on the phone with police. None of those actions were very smart.

Another great thread where we get to point out what a thug Martin was and why the world is better off without him.
