He didn’t just “confront” him, if he did and Zimmerman assassinated him he would likely have been convicted. TM was beating him up. Zimmerman had a gun. The jury believed he acted reasonably in defending himself. Zimmerman is a trouble maker. He had a gun and that made him brave to go and pursue a person doing nothing wrong. 9 hours ago, B-Man said: so may I assume that all the Trayvon Martin diversion means that the “wall haven’t closed” yet ? 😎 .

None of them will be able to offer even the slightest justification for what he did. It's hard to believe he's not pure evil when listening to this. Thousands of people were burning to death and what was he thinking and talking about? Doc or anyone else here want to say that Trump is not a POS? narcissism on steroids. It's always about him yet they believe he cares about them because he supposedly listens. plays them like dime store guitars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not change how TM chose to respond, and the rationale as to why Zimmerman was acquitted on the multiple charges the jury considered. A few years ago some friends suffered the very tragic loss of their adult child. While they were off preparing for services and a gathering place for friends and family, I saw a guy approach their house, look in the front window and try the door. I saw him wander around the back, come back around the front and I approached him, asked him who he was and what he was doing there. He stammered a bit, said he was an old friend of the young man who died and just wanted to pay his respects. I continued to ask questions and wanted answers. If he became upset and assaulted me, in the driveway of their home, am I to blame, or is he? Do I defend myself, up to and including seriously injuring him, or allow him to assault me in hopes the police come by? @Kemp what say you?

As they see all things through the lens of subjectivity, I expect your question can't be answered until you tell them the race and gender identity of the other person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reminding me—when I initially questioned the guy, he said he knew me from when he used to come over. He then proceeded to call me by the wrong name, which seemed odd to me. On the other hand, if he really thought my name was Marshall Tucker, well, that wouldn’t seem odd to him at all. @Tiberius @Kemp @SUNY_amherst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, one of the problems many observers had with the outcome of the OJ trial was that jury members ignored or disregarded important and critical evidence and decided the outcome based on emotion. You’re doing that, here. The tally is showing you’re hyper biased in the Zimmerman model, and you’re following the same path the Simpson jury followed. It’s ok, but Yikes! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to defend it or some other things he's done and said. I've said all along that I wish he had acted more Presidential when he was in Office but he is who he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where his courage came from. Not say TM should have assaulted him, but the assault happened because Zimmerman was following him.
