He was 6'3". That's a pretty big guy, even if he was only 160lbs. Zimmerman doesn't exactly look like an athlete.
Let me put it to you this way, he had no business being in the situation in the first place. The kid wasn't robbing a bank, he wasn't raping a woman, he wasn't breaking into a car.... he was walking home. Zimmerman had no reason whatsoever to follow him. He had no reason whatsoever to confront him. He had no reason whatsoever to put himself into that situation, therefor the shooting was unjustifiable as self defense. You can legally shoot someone if they break into your house because Oregon is a castle state, but you still have to show that you feared for your life. This guy wasn't in his home. He didn't have to follow the kid. The entire thing was his doing, therefor he deserved an ass whooping if that's in fact what was happening. If you shove me, and I shove you back, that doesn't mean you can shoot me.
So I am to believe that a 17 year old kid, who is alone, is going to turn around a jump a 28 year old man that's following him? Sounds awfully fishy to me.
ooh imagine how much nobody would care if they both were black, mindfuck or what if the kid killed the hispanic weirdo, hed be in jail for sure or maybe what if just maybe zimmerman shot his own cock off and slowly bled to death while he cried and shit himself, and the kid put a poisonous jellyfish on his grave every year, that would be soooo strange
one of my college roomate's dads was a high up in the black panthers in Oakland or something. forget the connection but I guess he was pretty famous/infamous.
try walking through a gated community with that bag over your head, you will get shot in your goddamn bag face
None of which answers the thresh-hold question: why did Zimmerman even initiate this whole mess? Why did he follow some random kid who was just walking on a public sidewalk? Would he have done the same to a white kid?
I went to Dirty a few years ago. I put my hoodie on in the middle of the dance floor and started steady mobbin'. Fucking cracka azz hawaiian azz bouncers started hatin' on my shit.
He thought he was suspicious looking. Maybe he would have done the same to a white kid, maybe not. who knows.
