(44,508 posts)Why would someone who was being chased by a strange person for no apparent reason, who loses that person, then voluntarily double back and attack that person that he had worked so hard to escape?
Tell me in what world does that make any sense?
And the only "evidence" that supports the theory that Trayvon ambushed Zimmerman was Zimmerman's own self-serving statements. That's it. No one actually witnessed Trayvon attacking Zimmerman.
Now we did have a earwitness who testified to the contrary, that it was Zimmerman who came upon Trayvon and demanded to know his business, and that a physical confrontation followed thereafter. Her name was Rachel Jeantel. For whatever reason, people chose not to believe her, even though she remained pretty much consistent with her story. I don't know. Maybe ignored her because they thought she talked funny.
