(44,614 posts)However, I can consider the likelihood of a situation when viewed against an alternate situation. And I can make judgment as to which one of dueling possibilities is more likely in the face of logic.
Ya know, Occam's Razor and shit like that.
We either can believe that Zimmerman, who had already been following/chasing Trayvon, continued to follow Trayvon after he was instructed/suggested not to by dispatch, and when he finally encountered Trayvon, there was some sort of altercation that eventually turned physical (while not exactly clear as to who threw the first punch) and the end result being Zimmerman shooting Trayvon.
Or.....
We can believe Zimmerman's original story, that he had been chasing Trayvon, lost him, was walking back to his car when Trayvon (who had done nothing wrong and did not know why this man had been chasing him) chose to double back, ambush Zimmerman and almost immediately start punching him, all of this instead of heading back to the safety of his home.
