Major inconsistencies turning up in Zimmerman's testimony.

[magical thyme]

9. it's fight/flight, not black/white. there are times when the best defense really is a good offense.

I am a white, 5'3, 120 pound woman and was followed by strange white man in a car while walking home from a convenience store. He passed me repeatedly, from one direction and then the other, yelling at me each time he drove by.

I could not walk to the police station, on the other side of town. I could not make it to my condo without him at least seeing where I lived, if not nabbing me en route. I was terrified.

There was a point, when he pulled into an empty lot, and sat there staring at me and yelling, when something inside me flipped a switch. I knew that once I went any further, he would be able to at least determine where I live, and I would be in an increasingly invisible location, thus more vulnerable than on a busy street.

So instead of speed walking or running toward my home, I turned, walked very slowly and deliberately over to his van and confronted him verbally. I was more prepared to go down fighting than go down running.

As it happens, he turned beet red, apologized that he thought I was someone else, and gunned it out of there.

That doesn't mean that I assume or believe that Trayvon did confront or attack Zimmerman first. He may well have knocked him down when being followed on foot in order to buy himself time to get away. We weren't there, we can't get inside Trayvon's mind, so we don't know.

There are enough discrepancies with Zimmerman's various stories and variations on a theme to make him totally not credible. And this latest version is the most ludicrous of all. The thought that an unarmed Trayvon circled Zimmerman's car while being followed is just plain stupid beyond belief.
