(37,573 posts)Why do I believe Zimmerman was on his back?
Because he had cuts on the back of his head.
Why do I believe Trayvon hit him?
Because he had an injury to his nose.
And about who struck first. Nobody has any evidence about that, other than far away witnesses looking out at a dark yard.
The point of this OP is that people are saying "Trayvon had to defend himself because Zimmerman was following him"
And as I said in my first post on this thread the "He was following me, so I had to defend myself" argument lacks any sort of common sense. Those people ARE arguing that Trayvon struck first and that it is OKAY that Trayvon struck first. THAT is the argument I am taking issue with.
If Zimmerman struck first, or tackled Trayvon, then fuck him, fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Send him directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
I don't believe that scenario, because the fact that Trayvon did not run, did not escape with his one minute head start. With 4 minutes between Zimmerman's call and the fight, Trayvon ended up 200 yards away from Zimmerman's car. So it took him four minutes to run 200 yards? Again, I say that is pretty solid evidence that Trayvon did not run.
Many things are possible, but I think there is a solid case for Zimmerman's defense, and that the prosecution of Zimmerman is often weak. It goes like "Trayvon is black. Trayvon is young. Trayvon is dead. Zimmerman got out of his car. Zimmerman is a racist POS. Case closed."
Oh, and anybody who does not join me in condemning Zimmerman is also a racist POS, or perhaps a gun nut.
