(44,465 posts)Also, let's not forget to believe Zimmerman's story, you would have to create a radical shift in the narrative.
Zimmerman gets out and pursues Trayvon. He is taking, for lack of a better word, aggressive action. He then supposedly loses him. And then comes the shift, that Trayvon, the hunted, the pursued, becomes the hunter, the pursuer. The concept of interia can be applied to an extent to real life situations, and I think this could be one of them. Why is there such a radical reversal in a span of a minute or two?
Also, phone records show that Trayvon was on the phone with his girlfriend during this time. If Trayvon is planning a sneak attack on Zimmerman, why would he alert himself by talking on the phone?
And one last hole in the Zimmerman story: he told police he initially got out of the car to check the street sign. This is the neighborhood watchman of the community, who has lived there for a significant amount of time, and this community only has three streets. He doesn't know the name of the streets in his own community? That stinks right there.
