Not so stupid considering the wackos were screeching "ANYONE WHO KILLS A CHILD DESERVES TO DIE!!" just a couple of days ago...the fact that Trayvon was a so-called *child* was the justification for calling for Zimmerman's lynching.
I agree, in the span of less than a year, Trayvon could have been in Afghanistan, he was NOT a child. My Father, along with many more, lied about his age when he was 17 to get into the Army Air Corps, he was flying missions out of England within a year. The media purposely showed nothing but photographs that were a minimum of 3 years old to tug at the heart strings of every parent, that was a huge distortion of the fact that this so called child was a 6'-3" wanna be gangsta. I don't give a shit about the weight difference, the leverage of a 6'3" guy's swing, especially when hitting unexpectedly, will deck most anyone. Look how quickly the taller guy in the viral video from Baltimore went down when he was sucker punched by the smaller shithead that had just stolen his car keys. It is certainly not hard to picture Zimmerman being knocked senseless by the towering teenager only to be jumped on and pounded on the ground. If he then pulled his gun to defend himself and the rage and adrenalin filled Trayvon saw it, his natural instinct would have been to take it away from Zimmerman which could have easily led to the gun going off into his chest......... this just isn't that hard to figure out.
The apologist can continue to pretend that Trayvon was minding his own business with a halo above his head but I highly doubt it. The mere fact that we were led to believe he was a wonderful little angel tells me to think different.
Many of these things have been covered over and over here (back and forth), but some have to work it politically to their benefit somehow, in order to work out the long term values of this inccident in which had turned deadly in a traggic way, but yet ended up being a firestorm for others in what they see as a useful thing in so many other ways for them. Some people hope for a political outcome way on down the road now from it all, where there is a larger agenda attached to a larger picture at hand in all of this for some, and this has been fueled by people who have spouted off their mouths big time in direct evidence of, and they have revealed their agenda's, their racism, their biases and hopes in the ways that this has been spun and spun and spun in order to go now in their favor regardless of what actually happened that traggic night.
This thing had to go to trial, but can there actually be a fair trial in such a circus atmosphere, in which will seek now to intimidate the judge possibly, and the court or anything else that can be intimidated in order to control the outcome, in which for some (alot is riding upon), where justice may not be the only thing looked for in all of this by some anylonger, and that is just sad at the end of the day for Justice, Trayvon, and Zimmerman.
What if Zimmerman and Trayvons mother came together, and Zimmerman spoke to her saying that what happened that night was a traggedy of epic preporptions, and that he had mistaken Trayvon for a possible suspect in the area, (by my understanding) so he Zimmerman was asked to get a closer look see, of who the man was (description), but Trayvon was in a hoodie, so Zimmerman couldnot tell immediately his color or other traits for identifying Trayvon (while talking to 9-11 on the phone), then Trayvon came closer (Zimmerman began identifying him), and this is when Trayvon got leary of the man (zimmerman), for watching him, so he tried to get away from him, but was followed briefly by Zimmerman ( where the 9-11 operator told him that ("we don't need you to do that"), zimmerman replied OK... Trayvon had then somehow avaded him, as Zimmerman turned back to return to his truck for his own safety (not knowing who Trayvon was or might have been), when all of a sudden (by my understanding) Trayvon surprised Zimmerman (asking if he Zimmerman had a problem), and when Zimmerman said no, Trayvon said well you do now and decked Zimmerman (understandably), then in the struggle between the two, a gun goes off and kills Trayvon, allowing Zimmerman to get up at that point, brush himself off, and begin to realize that he had just shot a young man who was un-armed & later found to be innocent. The cops came and arrested Zimmerman (placing him in cufffs) and Zimmermans life had changed forever, as an innocent man lay dead on the ground by his hand mistakenly.
What if Trayvons mother begins to see the mistakes that were made that fateful night by both men involved, and see's that Zimmerman is not the racist that he was painted out to be by the media, but just a neighborhood watchmen who made a huge mistake, and decides at that point that Zimmerman need not suffer at the hands of what had happened that night to her son, in which is "the media trying to also do to Zimmerman" (profile him) without all the facts and evidence at hand, in which is shockingly the same thing that was done to her son Trayvon that night by Zimmerman, in which led to the traggic event ?
What if she truly finds that Zimmerman, once she meets him, is not the dog racist the media had painted him out to be, but instead is a person who had made a huge mis-judgement in his life, that ultimately cost her son his life in the situation (finding Zimmerman terribly sorrowful for the situation), where she also realizes that Trayvon (knowing him), may have added to the mistakes that were made that night as well, in which led to his death at the hands of Zimmerman on a very confused night in which the two had become engaged, and yes of course these two men came together in a highly suspicious way of each other (due the crime in the area sadly enough), thus leading to a traggedy that left one man dead and another in terminal grief over the death of an innocent person in which was traggically killed on that very sad night?
What if Trayvons mother forgives Zimmerman somehow, and wishes that no more confusion comes of this traggic situation anylonger, where another mans life also hangs in the balance now, as a result of it all ?
Until these people all meet up with each other somehow soon, and stop all the media circus over the event, a proper trial cannot be conducted.
Long live the United States of America, and may justice find her way in all that is needed by her, for she is the greatest Nation to have ever strived to Unite under God, in peace, in honor and in faith.
Again what is this watchmen thing that goes on, and who hires them, why aren't they (these watchmen) properly clothed for identification purposes, where as these are the issues that need to be adressed big time also as a result of this traggic case, because these issues led to a traggedy that wouldnot have occured, if these simple protocols would have been followed. The Gardian Angels dress with a dress code, and they have a protocol, what happened here is simply rediculous.
My prayers go out to all who are involved directly in this situation, and I hope it is resolved decently and in order. I have no vile accusations against Trayvon, and I have no vile accusations gainst Zimmerman, except to comment upon what I have been reading in it all, that causes me to wonder what exactly did happen between these two on that traggic night down in FLa. and how can it be avoided in the future... God Bless
