I noticed it. In fact, I specifically included it because I did not want to be accused of selectively editing the quote. Of course, if Martin attacked Zimmerman, that would be criminal activity, though presumably the police are referring what preceded the encounter between Zimmerman and Martin.
Just so you know, there is a difference between emphasizing a point through bolding as opposed to chopping off a quote.
Yes there is a difference but unless the original quote somehow emphasized the lighter, you selectively edited it, no?
Not any significant way. It was merely done for emphasis. This is an incredibly stupid line of argument you are pursuing.
Having used mar1juana makes someone a ****head? LOL It's not nice to insult unarmed boys who went to 7-11 to get a snack and were on their home when someone killed them. But I guess decency isn't your thing.
1. we need to know more that being said, Trayvon had drugs in his system, and had a lighter in his pocket, and then got into a physical confrontation with GZ. Could it have been that TM was walking slowly because he was either high or waiting to meet somebody for a drug deal? That could be a possible reason why he had the lighter -- to go smoke drugs later. And he could have snapped and gotten aggressive due to being paranoid about getting caught being high or going to buy drugs.
I didn't claim it to be fact. That's why I posed it as a question. It was a fact that Martin had drugs in his system, and a lighter, according to what I've read.
as a side note, it's almost like you're "pulling" for Zimmerman to be proven guilty of murder. it's best to judge objectively based on facts. Are you biased due to race reasons? I suspect that others are.
I've stated multiple times in this thread that we need to wait for more facts. I stand by that now as even more and more facts emerge. I've also stated that I doubt Zimmerman will be found guilty and if he is so be it, that's the way the court system works and I have no qualms about it. I'd just like people who share my opinion to be a little less biased, especially when they accuse everybody else of bias. Show me where I have brought up race in this thread besides to point out other people idiocy. I think you have WAY more of a problem with race than many people in this thread.
Again why pull out a possibilty? Are possibilities facts, you know those things you keep screaming we need more of ? If they are not why bring even more assumptions into it especially when we NEED facts!?
With that being said, Zimmerman had been arrested before, and so was not unfamiliar with being on the wrong side of the criminal justice system. Maybe he set Martin with an offer to deal drugs to him. Martin having recently given up smoking pot, was furious that a drug dealer would try and tempt him when he was quitting, and threatened to call the police. That's when Zimmerman attacked him, and they were in a fight. I'm not saying this is what happened, but we do know that Zimmerman had been arrested before, unlike Martin. So this is just a possibility.
