No amount of evidence contradicting Zimmerman's different account of events is going to be enough for...certain people in this thread.
Zimmerman said there was a struggle. A struggle that necessitated him pulling his firearm and killing another human being.
The evidence, from both the police cctv video, and the lack of cuts/scrapes on Trayvon Martin's hands and body according the funeral director that PREPARED HIS BODY for burial, contradict this.
Zimmerman said that he was screaming for his life because he was being punched in the face and having his head slammed into the ground repeatedly.
Two different sound experts, both using different methods, have determined, after examining and analyzing the audio from the 911 call, that it was Trayvon Martin screaming for his life.
Those are two incredibly large pieces of Zimmerman's story that have been proven to be false. All of the little details like Zimmerman calling him a "fucking >?<" are pretty irrelevant.
Why is it so hard for people to accept that this man with a history of paranoia and aggression unnecessarily profiled, followed, confronted, and shot and killed a 17 year old boy walking down the street?
This isn't an episode of Law and Order. There will be no 100% concrete evidence, super enhanced photo images, or mind-blowing, last minute confession from the "real" shooter that turns the entire case on it's ear.
This is the real world, and the simplest explanation is often the right one.
In this case, the simplest explanation is backed up by more and more evidence.
Trayvon Martin did NOTHING to warrant being followed, confronted, and shot dead when he tried to get away from a COMPLETE STRANGER.
It really saddens me that the implication evident in some of these posts is that Trayvon should have complied to the whims of a complete stranger demanding to know why he was walking down the street in "Zimmerman's" neighborhood. You're not Batman, George. You aren't the terror that flaps in the night. You're a fucking wannabe neighborhood watch captain who scrubbed out of the police academy.
People also seem to not consider that George was a security guard, and also trying to become a police officer. The level of physical strength required to do both, while not massive, is considerable. At the very least, Zimmerman would have had some type of self defense training (ie, being able to subdue a "perp"). I find it hard to believe that a former security guard carrying a weapon would be in fear for his life of a tall, skinny person in a hoody.
If Trayvon was packing a weapon of sort to harm Zimmerman, and if he was as volatile and aggressive as Zimmerman claims he was, Trayvon would have pulled his weapon and used it to threaten Zimmerman. Trayvon not pulling a weapon should have been an indicator to Zimmerman that the kid wasn't packing, and wasn't a threat, being that, you know, Zimmerman was carrying a weapon.
This thread gives me a fucking headache.
But I can't stay away. *sigh*
