Background on Zimmerman

[patrice]

47. In my reference to how maleable perception is, I was trying to pose a different

context in which futility (which affects perception) is much less of a factor (in this hypothetical instance, because of the higher functionality of the police in dealing with the real crimes instead of un-real "crimes&quot . I'm saying in some such environments, because of less or 0 futility, Z's perception of Trayvon would have likely been very different, or, at worst, he would have tested his own perception BEFORE acting on it so precipitously.

Amongst the different other perceptions of Trayvon that Z could have had, were he not so warped by situational factors such as the futility of the police (AND probably completely unaware of his own warped -ness, btw), are at least a few other perceptions, maybe even several, different perceptions that would NOT have triggered his call to the police (one example, "oh, that's just some kid talking to his girlfriend&quot and, hence, time, and especially police time, would have never been relevant.
