It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

Jay, do you have any pertinent facts, like the ratio of purple to green Skittles? Facts in general really have no business in this debate, but if you're going to attempt to go down that road, at least make it worth our while. The narrative deserves nothing less.

 

Funny how that works. Can't imagine what else is at play here. No clue. None whatsoever.

 

What contribution to the discussion does this kind of comment make? No clue. None whatsoever.

 

I think it might be that anyone who didn't automatically know what happened because they lack moral and intellectual superiority is a racist. I'm sure Sleeper will tell me if I'm wrong.

 

Also, the fewer posts you have, the more racist you are.

 

I guess I am questioning whether the facts fit the whole GZ hunts down TM a la The Most Dangerous Game because he is a trigger happy racist predator wannabe cop theory...

Why do you think TM didn't just go home?

 

I'm just wondering when the Special Edition Black and White Heal the World Skittles are coming out...

 

The Wrigley Co. Is working out Jesse Jackson's take.

 

First you state that "the 911 operator tells GZ that they don’t need him to follow TM and to go back to his van and wait for the police. GZ says “okay” and goes back to his van to wait for the police".

Then, "I certainly do not believe TM pulled GZ from his van".



So if GZ got back into his van as instructed -- and Martin didn't pull him out of the van -- how did the confrontation even occur?

 

That's a very fair question. I think there really is on one person who knows exactly how the confrontation went down. We are left to look at the evidence and theorize. Looking at the neighborhood itself and what we know so far, it appears GZ decided to go back and meet the police. It appears TM's intention was to meet GZ. I do think that it's a big freaking deal that TM had the opportunity to go to the house where he is staying but instead went directly to where GZ was. Add to that fact the description of the injuries to both parties and it doesn't look like GZ went and attacked TM. It looks like TM came and attacked him. It's interesting that many people describe GZ as this imposing 27 year old 200lb stalker when it is obvious TM was not intimidated by GZ one bit. Remember he could have run away, he instead ran toward GZ.

 

And the entire incident would have been avoided if Zimmerman and his gun had simply stayed in the van as instructed.
