**Official** Trayvon Martin thread

[Vegas Brian]

The only verifiable evidence is

A guy carrying a gun was unnecessarily pursuing another citizen, who by all accounts was not commiting a crime.

I fully support our right to bear arms; but with that comes responsibility. Mr. Zimmerman appears to have acted recklessly by causing this situation, eventually resulting in another person's death.

 

[moo]

Do you actually think Zimmerman laid there with his hands at his side not protecting himself? I guess anything can happen but for those injuries you described to happen Zimmerman would have to lie still, head not moving, and not having his hands up defending himself.

zimmerman never said he used his hands to protect his face. he said the only thing he did to protect himself was call for help and shoot trayvon.

Depends if it was concealed. If he was brandishing it, then you're correct. All these attacks on CCW and citizen watch are nothing more than a witch hunt.

So-called "Liberals" are mentally deranged in that they actively push this stuff.

 

[moo]

just your average american teenager.

Um, how about the very think George Zimmerman claims happened? That gold toothed teen in a hoodie punched him in the face, then, as an eyewitness confirms, got on top of him and started pummeling him?

So him having a gold tooth and being in a hoodie justifies him being KILLED? Racist much?

I think the bottom line is that Zimmerman had every opportunity to NOT ENGAGE. He was even TOLD TO NOT ENGAGE by the 9/11 dispatcher.

Zimmerman via manslaughter at the very least.

Btw, this thread, specifically the title, is an INSULT to the memory of Trayvon, who was just minding his business that night. I ask this thread be closed.

Once more, we don't have all of the evidence... it's easy to play armchair quarterback when all you know is what the corporate media is telling you. This is why I am not voicing my opinion in these Trayvon threads.

Isn't that what the OP is doing with the title of this thread? And somehow trying to justify Trayvon's murder?

 

[Danke]

He was told "we don't need you to do that", as you correctly stated.

That seems very clear.

Once that happened, he lost his justification to use deadly force, especially since he continued to follow him around as Martin tried to leave.

lol

You see, the thing is, he shouldn't have called the cops in the first place.

How was Zimmerman able to shot him square in the chest if Trayvon was allegedly pummeling his face and bashing the back of his head in the ground? So this kid was so over-powering to this adult, but was unable to prevent him from pulling a gun?

Have you never been through self defense training armed with a handgun?

Please expand. Not sure if you're trying to be sarcastic or not. Hard to tell sometimes.
