No. It wasn't. It was typical plodding trite tripe bullshit.
Cut him some slack...he was just joking.
What are your thoughts about GZ reaching for a "phone" just before he got hit...think someone following and then reaching for something when approached might have had something to do with him being punched?
Im down the middle on this one...but the reaching for a phone when the gun was in the same spot he was reaching says that he will have some explaining to do if the prosecutor presses it.
I can see the good and bad of each side...and that part of Mr Zs story disturbs me. Why would he be reaching for a phone if the cops were on their way...what was a phone call gonna do at that point...yet his gun was right there...isnt it reasonable to assume that he may have been reaching for that yet felt he had to tell the cops he was reaching for a phone? he says he reached for the phone but it must have been the wrong pocket...yeah but he was reaching in the right place for where his gun was holstered.
A neighborhood watch person following a teen packing heat is not a good thing, IMO and if it were my family member Id be pissed.
However, I dont like the race card being pulled by anyone...it has no place in this case...the only people associating "hoodie" with "black" are those defending martin and desperately wanting to make it a race issue to intimidate a potential jury. If we want to get past color, then the same have to get past that type of behavior also...just my take.
I agree with a lot of your posts and I appreciate your research and in depth analysis...its what the forum is all about.
