Trayvon Martin: Amazed no one has posted this....

[Roq]

So in essence you are saying that Even though he did not identify himself and even IF Trayvon 'attacked' Zimmerman that Trayvon did not have those very same rights to stand his ground and defend himself against what he couldk have possibly felt to be a threat to his own safety since this strange man kept following him and accosted him without identifying himself? Some of you are pretty dang hypocritical...

Here is a pic of the area [[lifted from Websleuths). If GZ was in his vehicle, I don't see how he came in contact with Trayvon without approaching him -- since it's a sidewalk behind buildings and all.

Have you even bothered to read any of the factual accounts? Or are you only focused on rumor and innuendo?

One more time, for anyone interested in fact over fiction......

The reports state GZ lost sight of TM and left his vehicle on foot to try and locate him. When he was unable to, he began to return to his vehicle. Sometime after that, GZ states he was attacked. Whether that's true or not, we'll never know since there is no other first hand account.

Following is NOT approaching.

If you can't locate someone, you can't approach them.

There is no factual statement that GZ approached TM.

Until some other factual account is provided, anyone assuming that GZ approached TM is doing so based on fantasy and what they would LIKE to think happened.

We simply don't know any more that what has been posted publicly in the media and on the official police report.

We may never know 100% what happened in those critical 2 minutes or so, but there's no reason to make things up either.

If someone you didn't know was following you on your way home, how would you feel? TM would have been FAR more justified in shooting Zimmerman

You seriously see more justification in shooting someone because they are following you in broad daylight, than to shoot someone that physically attacks you and knocks you to the ground?

I see far more justification in shooting an armed man who IS stalking you, and no matter how the nutjobs try to twist Zimmerman's actions, he WAS stalking the kid
