Your name isn't on any bit of impressive reasoning. The point is that your argument that Zimmerman could have avoided the situation is irrelevant.
Zimmerman certainly could have avoided the situation by not exiting his vehicle, unless you believe that Trayvon Martin was going to jump in Zimmerman's car. I never said that Zimmerman should be held criminally liable for following Martin, but the observation that a little bit of common sense from someone in possession of a firearm and deliberately altering his intended course in order to surveil someone is not irrelevant.
I also never said that my name was on any bit of impressive reasoning. I did say that your attempt to equate an abortion 17 years in the past and the actions of someone directly involved in an incident in the present is not very sound.
If ignorance and prejudice were something, you'd be on to something. The "only" reason the two came in direct contact was because Martin jumped Zimmerman, after Martin attracted attention by dressing in a hood at night and acting like he was on drugs or casing the neighborhood.
I know that my first reaction to someone who appears to be disoriented is to assume that they're up to no good.
Lots of people wear hooded sweatshirts, I own several myself and it's not an indication of criminal intent.
The white guy is the one the media continually describes as "white". Don't you read news? Maybe if you had dealt with your illiteracy, you'd know that "hispanic" is usually not considered a race. Besides, I only used the word "white" figuratively... something your illiteracy didn't allow you to pick up on.
Yes, I read the news and I have heard Zimmerman referred to as white by some. I have also heard him referred to as hispanic. He refers to himself as hispanic. You do have a point about some people making this a case of White v. Black but I'm not one of those people so if your beef is with them then go deal with them, don't transfer your problem with them onto me. That's your trip, not mine.
Yeah, and Martin shouldn't have been wondering around aimlessly at night in a hoodie. And, Martin shouldn't have even been staying in the neighborhood because he shouldn't have been suspended from school for drug possession. And, MARTIN SHOULDN'T HAVE ASSAULTED ZIMMERMAN. But, you're so racist that blacks are just wild dogs to you. To you, Martin was just a wild dog being a wild dog, therefor it was purely up to Zimmerman to avoid the situation.
I'm a racist? You're the one who appears to be fascinated by race, not me. I've never said that Trayvon Martin was blameless. You however keep saying that that's what I'm saying. You insult me multiple times, that's pretty sad, but what's really sad is that you not even insulting me over what I posted, you've been "re-writing" what I've posted in order to fit what you want me to have posted, not what I actually did post, and then you argue with "my opinions". You're actually arguing with yourself, not with me.
Deal with your ignorance before you accuse me of not knowing something. Zimmerman says Martin was running (around the corner of the building). The operator then asks where Martin is running. Zimmerman then starts following so that he can tell the operator where Martin is going. The operator then detects that Zimmerman is following Martin and then tells Martin that they don't need him to follow. Martin then stops following.
Was Martin following or Zimmerman? You still aren't going to give up this idea that Zimmerman was somehow following instructions, are you? I've already addressed that so I will not again.
What kind of completely stupid argument is that? Calling police from a distance is what scared people do. Scared people don't approach the person they're scared of to strike up a conversation.
Scared people don't approach the person they're scared of, period. They don't follow either. By the way, I'm a little disappointed in you; "stupid" just seems like such a let down after the high quality insults you threw at me earlier. You seriously need to pick up your game, you're slipping.
If ignorance were water, there'd never be a drought around you. Zimmerman followed from a distance, and only for few seconds. Zimmerman didn't show his gun. All the aggressive posturing was done by Martin.
This is a little better although you have already used "ignorant". I'd like to point out that you can access a thesaurus online, it should help you avoid repetitiveness and add a touch of quality which will make your posts oh so much more entertaining and enjoyable, a true treat for both young and old.
Oh, and Zimmerman by his own admission showed his weapon to Trayvon Martin. Don't you read the news? I guess you missed that part, you were to busy looking for racists.
