Strange how people see a video of an 18 year old punk savagely beating a 55 year old man and it's horrific but when it's a 35 year old man, the 35 year old is somehow THE BULLY. The age of the aggressor has nothing to do with the punishment doled out. It's the size and threat that matters. And Trayvon was 6 feet tall. Grown ass men better think twice before wilding out.
Zimmerman was a trained MMA fighter.
He had a 9mm. He jumped out and chased Trayvon 2 blocks, even telling police "he's getting away!"
And he was 30+ pounds bigger than the skinny twink he was chasing.
Look, in Florida, where this happened... if I"m walking, and some armed MMA fighter jumps out of trunk, saying "punk" and "a-hole" and chases me 2 blocks in the night... and I hide in the bushes to get away... and he finds me with his gun... I could argue I was winded, scared for my life, and fired my own weapon because I thought this armed MMA fighter who had cornered me, was about to kill me.
And it'd probably work - fear for life is pretty real when cornered, winded, and armed bigger man is carrying a gun.
Trayvon's mistake was only attacking him with fists - IF the admitted liar zimmerman is even right on that. Trayvon is 21, and fires his own weapon? ANd he can show he was chased and even freakin HID to avoid the armed aggressive MMA fighter chasing a kid? Trayvon walks, period.
FL law is weird like that. No duty to retreat anymore - I loved that part of the law. If you ran into a sitatution with a gun and created a deadly showdown, you're going to jail for it. "stand your ground" killed that. Everyone runs into gun battles now like idiots.
