FU, GZ..."Court docs: Trayvon Martin shooting 'ultimately avoidable by Zimmerman'"

[ljm2002]

9. Good grief.

Trayvon Martin was walking in a neighborhood he had every right to be in, as he was staying there with his father at his father's girlfriend's house. He was not causing any trouble and was on his way home. Yet Zimmerman decided he did not belong there, based on the fact that he was a black young man in a hoodie (ooh, scary!). Then Zimmerman decided that he could ignore the advice of the 911 operator, and kept on pursuing Trayvon -- who, again, was doing nothing wrong at the time.

So this guy with a gun was following Trayvon, quite sure within his own mind that Trayvon was "suspicious" -- and that he was going to "get away" like "they all do". It is not yet clear what exactly happened, how exactly an altercation ensued. But it is very clear who the instigator of this tragic episode was, and that is George Zimmerman.

Only one person was armed, and it was not Trayvon Martin. Only one person initiated this tragic incident, and it was not Trayvon Martin.

Furthermore, although there is a hue and cry right now about all the injuries suffered by George Zimmerman -- black eyes, broken nose, cuts on the head -- when you look at the video of him at the police station that evening, there is absolutely no sign of that apart from a couple of very minor-looking scratches on the back of his head. And the reports on Trayvon's hands indicates very minor scratches -- hardly what you would expect if he had been beating the crap out of Zimmerman.

Well we will see what comes out at trial. But in spite of the obvious attempt right now to put Zimmerman's side of the story out there, there continue to be some very real questions about his version of events, IMO.
