I don't think Zimmerman really intended to kill Trayvon.

153. You picked the widest fairway, in a thunderstorm, walked to the middle and held up your three iron.

You called down the lightning, and fucking A down the lightning did come.

I'll give you credit... When the lightning struck, you didn't toss the three iron away and run for cover. You held it up and waited for the next lightning strike. That's BOLD.

I posted once, after a good a few rounds of Wild Turkey and Coke, that no one who wasn't there could state for certain what happened or why. Boy did I catch shit for that. I was called a Zimmerman Apologist and worse. I used to think I could point out the scars, but ya know... I'm kinda like a Sperm Whale in some respects. So many scars it's hard to tell which scars came from what stupid comments and who's to tell? Yeah well... One thing DU doesn't lack is an abundance of Psychoanalysts and Psychiatrists. So many here know the minds of others; it's a wonder DU doesn't break out and rule the world. So many claim absolute knowledge, it actually makes me afraid to ask because I feel dumb NOT knowing.

One thing I've wondered and have asked, and haven't had answered to any degree of satisfaction is this: IF "Zimmy" was in fact "hunting" some young black kid for the purpose of hanging his head on his wall, why on God's Earth would he call 911 when he found him? WHY would he involve ANY authority before shooting him? Why didn't he just maneuver him into a place where he could shoot him and THEN call 911? Zimmerman called 911 each and every time he encountered someone he thought was suspicious. Does that sound like the action of a person who was intent on finding a young black man he could kill and get away with it?

Zimmerman was guilty of causing the unnecessary death of another human being. There is a legal definition for that, but I'm not a lawyer and do not know Florida Law. He is not INNOCENT in this act. He SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUNISHED for SOMETHING. For what, I cannot say because I am ignorant of Florida Law as I have already stated.

Put me on record though as not believing that he was actively "hunting". Put me on record as not believing he was "out to kill". Use as my reasoning for those beliefs the facts that he called 911 each and every time he found someone "acting suspiciously" he called 911, INCLUDING his encounter with Trayvon Martin.
