(44,493 posts)If Zimmerman had seen him walking down the street testing the door handles of parked cars (regardless of whether or not he was staying in the neighborhood) and Zimmerman then started chasing him, then maybe I'd buy into your story.
But there's been no evidence that Trayvon was doing anything wrong that night. Yet he's followed and then chased by a stranger for reasons unknown. He's got no gun, no knife. The reason for the suspension that you bring up had nothing to do with violence and occurs everywhere, from inner city high schools to rich suburban prep schools. There's no history of unprovoked violence on Trayvon's part that I've ever heard. The height difference isn't that marked and Zimmmerman's bulkier than him. Why would anyone needlessly pick a fight in that situation, especially so close to safety? It makes no sense.
