July 7, 201313 yr He had a broken nose and lacerations on his head and he had enough sense to grab his gun and shoot to kill. His life wasn't in danger. How was he supposed to know whether or not Trayvon was going to kill him? I'd say any reasonable person would think there life was in danger if the situation happened as he described.
July 7, 201313 yr ^ I agree' date=' his life was not in danger, and his stories are not adding up and they change. He has made many mistakes even after that night, if he doesn't get 2nd degree murder I'll be very surprised! I'll be gald when it's over as right now it seems as if every cable channel was bought up by Court TV/Tru TV.[/quote'] How has his story changed?
July 7, 201313 yr How has his story changed? For one he said that Martin grabbed his gun, then says Martin attempted to grab it. I'm not paying to much attention to the trial though, way too much media hype.
July 7, 201313 yr For one he said that Martin grabbed his gun, then says Martin attempted to grab it. I'm not paying to much attention to the trial though, way too much media hype. I've never seen the different stories, you have links to quotes?
July 7, 201313 yr How was he supposed to know whether or not Trayvon was going to kill him? I'd say any reasonable person would think there life was in danger if the situation happened as he described. I'm pretty sure I'd know if I was being beaten to an inch away from my life. Then again, I'm not stupid enough to follow random strangers and provoke them to violence either. His broken nose and the lacerations on the back of his head tell me all I need to know. Sure wish I had a gat on me when my nose was broken and received two black eyes when I was a senior in high school. I'd have had 99 problems but the chump who blacked my eyes and broke my nose wouldn't have been one.

And you don't have to wait until you are beaten an inch away from being dead before you are allowed to defend yourself with deadly force.

And I'm not stupid enough to confront someone who I knew was following me when I am 100 ft from my house. And it has been stated that GZ was walking back to his vehicle. If that is true, to act like TM didn't have some kind of responsibility in the outcome is somewhat outlandish, but that is JMO. Edited July 7, 201313 yr by Lucky Charms
July 7, 201313 yr Simply based on the wide disagreement here where we are far removed from the "action" I have no doubt in my mind that if Zimmerman is acquitted (and I have been following the trial he SHOULD be acquitted because the prosecution has not proven murder and that is their burden) that there will be "unrest".
July 7, 201313 yr Following him wasn't illegal. And you don't have to wait until you are beaten an inch away from being dead before you are allowed to defend yourself with deadly force. I never said it was illegal. I said it was stupid and provoking.

The guy who is still alive. Dead people can't talk or say their side of the story can they?
July 7, 201313 yr Everybody is different and we still only have one side of the story. The guy who is still alive. Dead people can't talk or say their side of the story can they? Evidence supports GZ's account though. We have that.
July 7, 201313 yr Evidence supports GZ's account though. We have that. We also have evidence that Zimmerman has lied at least twice that we know of.
July 7, 201313 yr We also have evidence that Zimmerman has lied at least twice that we know of. I'm not aware of those...
July 7, 201313 yr I'm not aware of those... He lied about his finances and he lied about his passport.
July 7, 201313 yr Good point. The prosecution didn't prove guilt with OJ Simpson either. Sure they did. Jury nullification. Plain and simple. DNA doesn't lie. That's another thread, however.
