I do not claim to be an authority. I did not ask you to accept my determination as fact based on my authority.
I explained my reasoning and pointed out that it was supported by evidence and an eyewitness account.
You claimed that there was a possibility that a man witnessed sitting on top of another and beating him while he screamed for help might have been defending himself.
I agreed.
It was unlikely but possible.
I then pointed out that there was no evidence to support that, nor any eyewitness accounts to support it.
My judgement is supported by quite a bit.
Yours is supported by your wishful thinking.
Martin was a criminal. Obama identified with him based on Race. And you libs loved it.
So when you complain about Marianne identifying Obama with some other criminals, based on Race, that is just you being a hypocrite.
There was absolutely nothing in the trial which proved who initiated the physical confrontation. That simply never materialized. So it remains to be nothing but conjecture on your part. And yes, you indeed expect others to accept your false claim as fact since you framed it as a basis for Obama defending Martin. Without that, your claim has no basis in reality.
Furthermore, you are again doing what you often do... build up a strawman and then attack it because you can't actually find fault in what I actually say. In this case, your strawman centers around your false claim that I complained about what Marianne said. I neither read Marianne stating what you did or did I respond to Marianne. Meanwhile, you're claim that Obama sided with a young black criminal remains as false as it did when you first offered it.
For Martin's actions to be seen as self defense, one would have to conjecture a earlier phase of the fight were Zimmerman was threatening Martin with serious harm.
Thus justifying his sitting on Zimmerman and beating him while he screamed for help. On the legal principle of NOT requiring nuanced judgement in the present of the "upheld knife" (or in this case the speculated serious ass whooping that Zimmerman would have had to be giving Martin for Martins actions to be self defense.)
But Martin has no wounds to suggest that Zimmerman was ever in that position.
My judgement is based on the actual real evidence and witnessed events.
If Zimmerman started the fight, he did so in a way that left no injuries on Martin.
I have no problem with you speculating on the periods that there were no witnesses for.
But your speculations seem based on nothing but wishful thinking on your part.
Thus, making my judgement to be the, by far, more likely scenario.
Thus, Martin was a criminal, Obama identified with him, based on Race.
