Listening to Trayvon Martin trial

[hfojvt]

193. How can you possibly think you know that?

I say that Trayvin was not afraid - based on all the things he didn't do

1. he didn't run home, even though he had a 1 minute head start
2. he didn't call the police to report somebody following him
3. he didn't call anybody else for help
4. he didn't use his phone. a pretty obvious defense is to take a picture of somebody with your phone and quickly send it. That way the potential attacker knows they cannot get away with their attack.

Further, I say he was not afraid, because he thought he could kick Zimmerman's a$$, and given the scenario of him being on top of Zimmerman and pounding on him, he would not have been wrong to think so.

Further, perhaps Trayvon did not know it, but if you are attacked, or fear attack, your primary defense should be - with your feet. That is - you run away. If you pop somebody in the nose and knock them down, you use that edge to take flight. You don't jump on top of them, because that gives them a chance to turn the tables, perhaps with the gun you don't know they have.

At least that's how I learned self defense in the 9th grade, and it makes sense to me, especially since I am small and kinda speedy.

Again, not that Trayvin would know that, but I think it is worth using this incident to educate the wider public.
