Fox News: Trayvon Would Be Alive If He Didn’t Have Street Attitude

79. Wow

Know who else had options? George Zimmerman, the hero of your hour.

He had the option to stay home and watch some TV or listen to music or jack off to pictures of goats, whatever the hell he does in his free time. Instead, he chose to indulge his fantasy of being a neighborhood watchman, which he was not.

He had the option to leave his gun at home while "going on patrol," too. Was he expecting perhaps to fend off a cuban invasion, like Red Dawn? Instead, he brought it along.

He had the option to not bother with some kid strolling down the sidewalk. Instead, he chose to assume that the kid was "suspicious."

George Zimmerman, having made that decision and called the dispatcher, had the option to listen to the dispatcher and let the authorities handle it instead of him. He had the option to say, "Well George, good job," and continue on his way, perhaps to go home to his lovely collection of goat porn. Instead, he chose to tail Trayvon.

With that decision made, he was faced with another option - he can keep following from his truck, or he could get out and confront the stranger in his neighborhood. He opted to get out and make the confrontation.

With that decision made, Zimmerman could have decided to leave his gun in the cab of his truck. Instead he brought it along with him.

And here we are now.

This is the result of a series of options that Zimmerman had, and actions that Zimmerman took. Your racist - and yes, it's fucking racist - victim-blaming is not going to change that. Every bit of this falls on Zimmerman's head. Don't talk to us about what Trayvon "should have done," because his role in this is "kid walking home confronted with an armed man who's made nothing but bad decisions tonight." It's about what Zimmerman did, did not do, and should have done, not Trayvon.

Which is why Zimmerman is the one on trial right now, despite the efforts of you, and a so many others.
