In reply to the discussion: Zimmerman Defense Attorney: ‘Trayvon Martin Did, In Fact, Cause His Own Death’ [View all]Just Saying

Trayvon did run. Z says so on his phone call to police. And we have a witness who testified that he stopped running because he thought he lost Z. That's really not that hard to believe. He was creeped out but once he was behind the buildings and where he was staying was ahead, he continued his conversation. So your time and distance thing just doesn't matter according to facts as we know them. I've seen maps with scenarios that show Z circling around a building on the next street and ending up in front of Trayvon ie between him and where he was staying.
A lot of people believe Zimmerman is guilty for a number of reasons and these are facts:
* Trayvon was young and was just walking home from the store.
* He was not armed and there's no evidence he was doing anything wrong at all when Zimmerman called the police on him.
* Zimmerman called him a "fucking punk."
* Zimmerman followed him behind a building in the dark with a loaded gun.
* Zimmerman shot him point blank in the chest.
Many of us just don't believe Zimmerman's version of events. He called the police and went after a kid who had done nothing at all. I believe it was because Trayvon was black and Z assumed he was doing something wrong because of it. I simply don't believe he would have called on a white kid.
It's hard for me to believe that Zimmerman who was a grown man, had a 40lb weight advantage, practiced in an MMA gym, who followed Trayvon and who was armed was the one who needed to defend himself. Zimmerman acted like a vigilante and he took this young boy's life.
Your free to believe whatever you choose.
