<br></div>In truth, I can understand your point. I'm not trying to condemn Zimmerman. He was naive and because of that got caught up in an unfortunate situation.

You write "There should have been more evidence and why there wasn't is a story that, in part, touches on institutional racism." Isn't it possible that they didn't have more evidence of second degree murder because it simply didn't exist, and that your preconceived notions about him are wrong? One could even call them "racist", because if the evidence doesn't actually exist you are assuming that it is there because you are assuming he was targeting blacks. That's called reaching a conclusion before all the facts are in.<br>
<br>You also write "Not to mention that Zimmerman likely would not have been following around a white kid who lived in the neighborhood." How could you possibly know this? Hell, Zimmerman didn't even self-identify as "white". Wouldn't he, in
his gung-ho neighborhood watch kind of way, be targeting anyone he didn't know? I've seen no evidence that Zimmerman was motivated even partly by race in this, but I see it assumed all over the damned place. To the tune of credible death threats to both himself and his parents.<br>
<br>The guy was found not guilty in a court of law. Shouldn't that be the end of it?<span class="yiv2479249005HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>Paul<br></font></span><div class="yiv2479249005hm yiv2479249005HOEnZb"><div><span><br></span></div><div><br>

<div><div dir="ltr">My Tuesday morning quarterback analysis of this would be that in the heat of the moment neither Zimmerman nor Martin were thinking rationally. I disagree with Gary about 'Martin's decision' but wouldn't call that opinion 'stupid'. My guess is that Martin eventually went into 'fight or flight' type of mindset once he realized he was being tracked. He's only 17 years old, he wouldn't have much real world experience in diffusing confrontations. Once this kind of situation escalated to the point where there both scrapping, I'd expect adrenaline rushes and survival instincts to be kicking in with both of them. They were fighting. All bets are off at this point with the edge going to Zimmerman since he would was aware that he was in possession of a gun.<br>

I don't see where you are coming from, Keely. You are responding to this paragraph, right?<br><br>"Poor decisions were made by both Zimmerman and Martin. Zimmerman's
decisions may have been ill considered (following on foot if that is in
fact what he did) but legal. Martin's decision to leap out of the bushes
and assault a stranger instead of simply continuing on the seventy yard
to his fathers girlfriends home was not."<br><br>Where is the intellectual dishonesty? Why do you think this analysis is "stupid"?<br><br>Someone leaving their vehicle and walking down a sidewalk behind someone else is not, in fact, illegal. Neither is following him in an SUV while talking to the police. It was probably not a brilliant idea on Zimmerman's part, but not illegal. If Zimmerman's account is correct, Martin confronted him, knocked him to the ground with a punch to the nose, and continued to beat his head into the pavement for about a minute. We don't know for certain, of course, that what Zimmerman says is true, but it seems to be supported by the evidence. He had a broken nose, cuts on the back of his head, and bruises on his face. When the police played an audio recording of the screams during the event for Martin's father, he was asked if he thought it was his son screaming. He replied
"no". When they played the recording for Zimmerman's father, he replied that he thought it was his son and that he sounded like he was screaming for his life.<br><br>Confronting someone and knocking him to the ground and then pummeling him with blows crosses a definite line. Zimmerman claims that he was trying to move back off the concrete when Martin saw his gun. He then allegedly told Zimmerman that he was "going to die tonight". That's when he shot him.<br>
<br>As I said before, it appears that the "white guy stalks and then guns down a defenseless black child" meme doesn't fit this case. Martin could have avoided a confrontation simply by continuing to walk home to his dad's girlfriend's place. I agree with the jury that there was no evidence for second degree murder, certainly not beyond a reasonable doubt.<br>
<br>Just forget how the media wants to portray this event, and think about this possible
scenario:<br><br>Zimmerman is tired of a spate of recent burglaries in his community, and wants to do something about it. He joins the local neighborhood watch. He does what you should do on the neighborhood watch, he phones anything he sees as suspicious in to the police.<br>
<br>Now comes the night in question. He sees a teenager walking through the neighborhood in the rain in the dark wearing black clothes and a black hoodie that covers his face. He does what he has always done at this point, he calls it in. He follows him to keep tabs on where he is until the police get there. When they ask him his location, he can't tell them precisely. Maybe because it's dark and rainy outside and he hasn't been paying attention to his exact location as he tries to keep him in sight. So he gets out of his SUV, walks down the block until he can see a street sign, and then starts to walk back to his vehicle. He is
then confronted by Martin, a confrontation he tries to avoid, and he gets attacked. He's on the ground, Martin is straddling him, punching him in the face and causing his head to get smashed into the sidewalk. Zimmerman, still trying to get away rather than fight, tries to scooch back to the grass so that his head isn't getting smashed into the concrete anymore. In doing so, his clothes get disheveled and his concealed weapon shows. Martin threatens his life, and Zimmerma</div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
