How would he avoid getting his head not cracked on the sidewalk?
Stay in the car.
Don't stalk
Do citizen have a right to check out suspicious characters in his own neighborhood? Yes or no?
Call the police and let them do their job, which they would have found that Trayvon was a neighborhood kid and sent him on his way, or they would have smelled weed and took him to juvy.
And if there is chance that you will be able to prevent crime before police arrived, you should not do it by any means, yes or no?
What was traywon's criminal record prior to picking up his skittles?
What this have to do with anything in this case? What will it change, if he have one or not? How this would change outcome of this event?
Was he cutting across grass?
Kids in my neighborhood cut through yards, so they don't have to make the trek around the block. I think neighborhood kids think nothing of it. It's to me as an adult to make the distinction.
Stop making excuses.
A grown man fucked up and use a gun as an out on a kid.
A kid who was 17, big as adult, and banging grown mans head on the sidewalk. Show me the law which let you do that in any situation, and I show you one, which tells you that self defence is proper thing to do in that situation.
Problem with you guys is always the same, you try to understand this event starting the outcome but not from the reason why it occurred. Zimmerman was member of the crime watch in that neighborhood, and carry a gun. He see hooded guy walking and lookin the houses, while in the area has been plenty of burglaries, so he call the police. To maintain contact with the hooded guy and to see what he is doing, he stop the car and try to follow him. In this point I have to ask, what the fuck there is so weird? It is quite common to be curious when you see suspicious characters in your neigborhood, isn't it? And what happens next, is only really weird thing in this situation: Trayvon hit Zimmerman in the ground, and start banging his head to the sidewalk. Read the actual police reports about this, try to understand that there was witnesses who see this.
Why Martin do this? Zimmerman has swollen nose and deep cuts in the back of his head. Martin has only one wound, the bullet hole. What that tells to you? Zimmerman has no chance to hit back, he was taken by surprice attack. After he get those wounds and only then, he fight back with single shot. Not like police do, emptying his gun, but with the single shot. Why? Because that single shot was enough to get Martnin stop what he was doing. Also angle of the shot proves this. He get of from the Zimmerman and die on the grass. What happens next is what confuse you guys. Media goes haywire, they puff up great anger and rage about this clearly racist act of violence, which it is not. Is it clear and simple case of self defence between two member of minor groups. Only singe shot is fired, not in anger, because one shot will not be enough for that. Are you able to understand that?
