(44,508 posts)What possible logic is there to support Zimmerman's "double back and ambush" story?
We know that evening that Trayvon was doing nothing illegal. He was doing nothing worse than walking home from the store.
We also know that Zimmerman followed Zimmerman, got out of his car and chased him.
Now you are Trayvon, you are being followed and chased at night by a strange man. That can't be a comfortable situation.
According to Zimmerman, he lost Trayvon. Under this scenario, Trayvon would be out of the zone of perceived danger. At least temporarily.
So Trayvon could continue to head home. Or, if he still felt uneasy just having been chased by a strange man for no apparent reason, he could hide out and wait a little bit until he felt more comfortable that the coast was clear.
Or, according to Zimmerman and Zimmerman alone, he could inexplicably decide to double back, voluntarily take himself back into the zone of danger that he had just managed to escape and try to ambush the strange man he had just managed to escape.
That doesn't make a lick of sense. None. Nada.
Stop taking the man for his word just because he was the only one left alive.
