A tale of two hoodies (wow)

[Aquavit]

116. From Oakland, huh?

There's no history of race-based violence, and certainly no potential for racial biases, there. No, sir!

1) Did the eye witnesses say the black man was on top? Who are these eye witnesses?

2) Even if this wasn't just made up and convincingly presented to a jury of people, some of whom may be may not have been completely impartial and AFAIK none of whom were experts in ballistics themselves, I am not going to accept that Trayvon Martin should have just allowed himself to be tackled and executed.

3) These wounds and scrapes could have been produced after the fight (but that kind of thing NEVER happens, does it?), but even if they weren't I don't accept that Trayvon Martin should have just submitted and allowed himself to be executed.

4) Extremely weak. Ms. Jeantel would have had zero idea of what was really happening, as she wasn't there.

5) See #3.

6) "A man?" Really? Is George Zimmerman the only man in the world who could have been screaming in the vicinity during the altercation? "A man" could have been my dad, or Jerry Seinfeld, or Elton John, or just about anyone else. It could even have been Trayvon Martin!

To answer your question, even if it was possible that Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman when the shooting happened, are you suggesting that Martin should have just let Zimmerman attack and kill him with no fight at all?
