So, George Zimmerman was scared the night he shot Trayvon Martin through the heart. Know who else was probably pretty scared that night? Trayvon Martin.
Surprised I’m asking? Me too. But it seems like a lot of people haven’t thought much about that.
Obviously, Trayvon isn’t here to tell us how he felt. He’s dead. And a lot of folks disregarded Rachel Jeantel’s account of him being afraid even though she was the last person to hear Trayvon speak (besides Zimmerman). She heard his fear through the phone. She heard him try to run away. He was scared.
And yet there’s a disturbing silence in public discussion about it.
What in the hell is going on?
Why is it so hard to imagine that a teenager walking home at night would be afraid if a strange, angry-looking guy started following him? A bigger, older, guy in a truck.
Why is it so hard for some people to understand his fear escalating when the angry guy got out of the truck and confronted him? Why is it so hard to imagine how his fear must have rocketed skyward when the angry guy brandished his gun? (Of course, he brandished it or showed it somehow. How else would Trayvon even know it was there on a dark and rainy night?)
Why can’t we put ourselves or our children in Trayvon’s Martin tennis shoes? Because Zimmerman was what every parent regardless of race in America warns a child about — “stranger danger” — with a gun.
So how come half the country identifies with Zimmerman?(continued)

Hallmark cards for your next beat down, Hallmark cards for your baby daddy(ies)....
It's a miracle!!!!! Ink transformed into bovine excrement!
Blessed be the miracles of St Skiddles!
Melvina?
So GZ was angry and brandishing huh?
Melvina - reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where he forgot the girl’s name!
GZ was calm and professional on the phone to police and he NEVER brandished his weapon.
Melvina is either a liar or stupid.
She is most likely both.
Another someone who doesn’t know shite about what she’s talking about.
Delores!!
One acorn only from all those words.
It’s a funny thing...I always wondered about people who write those things in greeting cards. There are “black” ones?

I have a Hallmark message for her:
Get Well Soon
Yeah Trayvon was so scared that instead of running home or calling 911 he turned around and assaulted Zimmerman! That’s what most normal people would do, run toward their perceived danger instead of away from it.

Pure.
Comedy.

First of all Melvina you’ve got your facts all wrong. Trayvon was several inches taller than Zimmerman. He was not the innocent little 12 year old displayed by the MSM ad nauseum; he was 17 at the time, drug addicted, into Fight Club, had been caught with what appeared to be 12 pieces of stolen jewelry and a burglary tool in his backpack at school. Plus he doubled back around to confront Zimmerman before he could get bak to hs vehicle to gove him a beatdown. Add to that there were numerous buglaries reported within the last year citing a black male matching Trayvon’s description, peering into windows in the neighborhood.
But don’t let facts get in the way of your racial rant...
