Fair enough, believe in your baseless fantasy rather than going with the evidence. I'm not one to tell you how to be, but don't be shocked when people ignore your opinion when you aren't concerned with basing it on evidence.
There is some evidence to support Martin was attacked by Zimmerman. Nobody knows for sure. So to claim it was proven who started the fight either way just isn't correct. It hasn't been proven that Martin started it. It hasn't been proven that Zimmerman started it.
Notice how I never said that it was proven, I said that the only evidence available supports Zimmerman being attacked by Martin. There's not enough evidence to prove for certain, but there's no evidence whatsoever to support Zimmerman attacking Martin. Also, what would be the motivation for that? How would that even go down? Is it that you think Martin asked Zimmerman why he was following him and then Zimmerman hit him? How would that even make sense?
Please give me a link of evidence that proves Martin attacked first. There is evidence that Martin and Zimmerman, were in a physical altercation, but where is the evidence that proves Martin struck first?
Again there actually was some evidence for Zimmerman attacking Martin including the cell phone call MArtin was on. What would be the purpose of being on the cell phone while attacking someone. But all the evidence has all gone over before. As for motivation, there isn't really a good motivation for Zimmerman to have followed Martin after being told not to in the first place. I think we can throw rational thought out of the whole scenario. I'm not saying Zimmerman attacked Martin nor am I saying Martin didn't attack Zimmerman first. I'm saying we don't know. Everyone can have their theories, but nobody should pretend like their theories are the only realistic ones. That goes for people on both sides.
It's the account of the story by the only surviving eyewitness, and honestly it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is assuming that Zimmerman was doing his mall cop "observe and report" routine and then just randomly attacks Martin...why would he do that? Isn't he supposed to be a coward? It just doesn't follow. It makes plenty of sense that Martin would be a dumb kid and be pissed off that someone was following him and looking at him so he'd try to teach him a lesson by giving him a beating. That makes a LOT more sense than thinking the mall cop snapped just because that's the only way you could blame him. If you have a scenario that makes ANY sense at all, let me know.
That would make sense if Zimmerman said that Martin just blind sided him or rushed him without any type of dialogue. They exchanged words first...Zimmerman should've immediately identified himself and tried to deescalate the situation immediately. "Hey man...I'm a neighborhood watch, the cops are already on their way, we've had a lot of break ins lately and I'm just looking out for my neighbors. Nothing personal" Anything...to keep from getting killed or having to kill. You can call that fantasy, but that's what any adult would try to do in that situation, unless, the other person had a weapon or they had already started a physical altercation. That didn't happen...they spoke first, then Zimmerman went for his cellphone, I don't know about you, but that would have scared the **** out of me and any officer would have shot Zimmerman for reaching for something. Zimmerman as an adult, should've backed up first, as he explained who he was and what he was doing there. He had more of the responsibility as a volunteer public servant to identify himself first. Zimmerman got off, because of the way the case was presented and prosecuted. He is free because of a man written law, but if there is a God, he will definitely have some explaining to do.
You still haven't given a plausible version of the Zimmerman attacking Martin scenario, do you have one of those, or is it you just think the kid was a saint that would never attack a "creepy ass cracker" for following him?
There's no evidence because Zimmerman killed the other witness. DOH. Another fine performance by Bobby. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cJD-gVBbkf0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
They searched for excuses to support Zimmerman then, and now that the world knows that Zimmerman is a F'n maniac _ they search for reasons to stand by him now. It just had to be the dead dumb black kid's fault. He had to have attacked Zimmerman.
The world didn't wait until now to realize Zimmerman doesn't represent the best and brightest of humanity. But the world also found out very quickly, despite the media's best efforts to hide it, that Martin wasn't exactly a kind and intelligent soul either.
You simply do not understand Due Process. For someone who believes "whitey" is out to get him, you are very quick to return the favor.
He wasn't an adult and wasn't matured mentally. I guess you never made mistakes as a teenager. It's fine if you are happy with the outcome, but do you have to constantly **** on the dead kid?
I'm not ****ting on the kid if I'm just quoting facts, and no, I'm not happy that thousands of lunatics, especially cops, out there think having a gun gives them the license to kill at the slightest provocation. That doesn't change what I think about this case and how I see nutjobs like Remii.
When women are raped in this country _ people like you make excuses like 'she was asking for it because of how she was dressed'. Now you know for yourself Zimmerman is a wacko and you're still making excuses for him by trying to criminalize the kid he murdered... It's as if you're Zimmerman's accomplice.
There most definitely is reason to assume he was lying if he was the aggressor. If he told the truth than he would be in a jail for a long time. I assume that any testimony by Zimmerman about who threw the first punch is worthless due to the conflict of interest. Physical evidence supports that he got beat up not the timing of said beating. So can you say beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not acting in defense, no, which is why he was acquitted.
Are you suggesting he got his ass kicked else where then decided to hunt down some black guy, bait him into a fight just so he could kill him? Some of you make it seem like Zimmerman is some kind of psychotic killer. The guy has some serious anger issues no doubt, and he will very likely either end up dead or in prison. Sadly many of us know a person or two like this.
Oh man, two can play this game. Are you sure you're not just making excuses for Martin because you're a thug yourself and you hate Hispanics? I bet you have a bag full of lockpicking tools next to your chair right now.
So there's reason to assume he's lying, if you assume he was the aggressor....all assumptions made with no evidence whatsoever. Since we're just making assumptions based on assumptions why not just assume that it was really aliens that killed Martin, and this whole thing is an x files cover-up? You'd have just as much reason to think that as to think that Zimmerman randomly attacked the person he was observing and reporting to cops about.
