If he does what he's told to do, this never happens. If he doesn't have a pistol in his poccet, this never happens.
Most people are bitches when it truly comes down to it. You've taken self defense classes and have a weapon. Yet you get out of your vehicle... which as WE ALL know, you were instructed NOT to do. Then you get your ass kicced! Good... that's what you deserve! Let's not put race into this at all.... Let's just use the "Common Sense" factor... I'm walking down the street and realize I'm being followed. Then this person, who has no reason to be following me in the first place. Then decides to approach me? Now none of us know what was said or done that lead to them fighting. So I'll jump to the fight... Now, you're a grown ass man still in your twenty's and you get worked over by a 17 year old boy.... So you shoot him?
As I've even read on here, some people say GZ was getting worked over so of course he was afraid for his life. So that justifies his actions. Everyone is entitled their own opinion... I have no problem with that. I do have questions tho'.....
1) No Pistol, do you get out of your ride in the first place?
2) Why is it you couldn't take the whippin' you got like a man, especially since you instigated it in the first place?
3) You couldn't shoot him in the leg or arm? Somewhere that may not have been fatal....
There's more but, I will leave it at that for now.....
I personally said that I think GZ is just as at fault as Trevor Martin. Again, there was no proof that GZ continued to follow TM after he was told not to. According to his testimony, he went to check the check the exact address of the apartment to tell the cops, and was returning to the truck when the whole thing happened. If TM was whipping him the way he described, he probably didn't have much time to think. Then again, maybe it was his intention to kill TM the whole time. We don't know much of what happened, but one thing's for sure, TM was definitely whoopin on his ass. So I'll stick to them both being at fault, Zimmerman for following him in the first place (possibly with the hope of stirring shit up), and Trevor for whoopin on his ass (if you notice someone following you, you go ask him what the fuck is his problem, you don't just start swinging away at him, and especially saying you're gonna kill his ass). Again, this whole thing was driven by race, and that's the only reason it made it into the news. Black dudes kill each other everyday, and they kill witnesses, too, so the court can't do shit to convict them. I don't hear nobody complaining about that..all they complain about is cops. Thugs are killin thugs and each other's families, hitting innocent victims because of mistaken identity, stray bullets hitting babies and shit...but it's always the cops' fault. ZM killed TM, so fools in Oakland started destroying businesses of people who have nothing to do with it, and saying fuck the police even though the police had nothing to do with it either.
