(44,587 posts)It does not take 2 minutes to walk 100-150 feet back to your car. And Zimmerman did not need to go all the way across to Retreat View Circle to get a house address. His car was parked in plain view of a house with a clear street number on it. So he could have both returned to his car and gotten a proper street all in one fell swoop. He didn't do that--why didn't he do that?
His story does not compute. He was not looking for a street address on Retreat View Circle. And it would not have taken him 2 minutes to return to his car. Nor did he even want police to meet him at his car. Ergo, he had to be doing something else.
Racheal Jeantel had no credibility whatsoever because you didn't like what she said. It's as simple as that. Yet cellphone records do indicate she was on the phone up to the point of the altercation, so it's not as if she was making up the fact that she just so happened to be on the phone when things went down. That we know actually happened.
Regarding the issue of injuries, I'll repeat what I said to another Zimmerman apologist downthread. The injuries were ultimately deemed minor and insignificant. There are fistfights all the time where someone receives minor and insignificant injuries. If we allowed the other person to shoot a person in a hand to hand fight just because they think the situation might escalate, the homicide rate in this country would skyrocket. You can't just shoot someone because maybe things might get worse.
And one last thing: you said that George Zimmerman had to experience the "ambush." Now, even if we were to assume that the asinine "ambush" story were true, honestly, did George Zimmerman really have to experience it? Think about it.
