(5,046 posts)Reading the reports, witness statements and such. The initial investigators where correct, the crime he should have been charged with is MANSLAUGHTER. What Zimmerman did, is a perfect fit for that crime, NOT Murder...
In short, I will tell you what I believe happened that night.... Two IDIOTS met in the dark. Zimmerman, was out "acting like a cop, and tried to stop a criminal, in his eyes" and Martin, decided to "Woop his ass".... And idiots being idiots escalation ensued, until Zimmerman who was getting his ass soundly kicked made a very bad decision, and shot his attacker.
Zimmerman cannot claim self defense, because his hands are NOT clean, he perused and verbally accosted Martin, than Martin attacked Zimmerman. But it is not Murder, by a long shot. And because of double jeopardy, Once he beats the Murder rap, it will be OVER....
I don't think Zimmerman set out to shoot anyone, but panicked when he was getting his ass kicked. But still he was part of the problem, so he will not get protection under Stand Your Ground....After all your not standing it, when your perusing and yelling at someone.
Zimmerman was an idiot, for being a hyper aggressive "neighborhood watch Capt" out confronting people instead of being a good witness and calling the cops. And Martin, was an idiot for deciding to start throwing punches at some dumbass loud mouth in a dark street.
My very REAL concern now is, that so much inflammatory and flat out WRONG things has been reported in the press that we are seeing completely Innocent people attacked and severely beaten in the name of Trayvon Martin. What about those people, whos only crime will be simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time?? It is already happening now, even here in Virginia, a few weeks ago, a large group of people attacked some reporters from the Virginia Pilot Newspaper, and "Do it for Trayvon" seemed to be the battle cry... How about when Zimmerman is ACQUITTED of the crime he is charged with?
I think MSM should be held accountable when Innocent people are killed because of their slanted reporting of this whole issue.
How many people will die, or be beaten because of their misleading reporting?
