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)

She must not have heard about the four minutes Trayvon had to complete one hundred yards of distance to his father’s unit.
If he walked them, we all would be discussing something else.
I did not need a photo to show what she is.
Dear Melvina, Trayvon was on his way home we're told. Trayvon was 6 foot 2 or 3. Zimmerman was five foot eight or so.
Therefore, if we go with the "bigger" theme, then we've got to mean that Zimmerman was fatter than Martin.
A mere 70 yards from the house where he was staying, Trayvon could have been in the door in total safety within 30 seconds.
Yeah, Trayvon was scared sh**less while he was bashing Zimmerman’s head into the concrete.
When she walks around in public she better make damn sure she doesn’t walk in the same general direction as black men because evidently that gives them permission to beat you up. I mean come on, they get scared and paranoid so obviously they must be allowed to hide then ambush you and slam your head into cement so they feel better.
And Young knows this, how?
If St. Martin actually knew it, why would he sucker punch, break Zimmerman's nose and pound his head into the concrete?
Obviously she hasn’t heard of the videos of Master Trayvon beating up homeless guys.
Scared? Ya, right. He was looking forward to whaling on Zimmerman.
Another Black Racist spewing crap....says nothing when blacks cap other blacks
More reason to slap any and all White Guilt Liberals you know

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 back to his vehicle to give 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...
You just reminded me of the excuse the liberals used back in the Reagan years as to why the Soviet Union had to have so many missiles aimed at us and why they had to militarily invade and occupy so many of their neighbors. We made them paranoid because we were so aggressive with our military.
He was sooooo skeerd that he confronted this person that was “following” him. TM wasn’t being followed - all he had to do was go 70 yards and not return if he was so scared.
TM chose to return instead, thus sealing his fate. I have no empathy for a street thug that told GZ he was going to die that night as he was pounding his head into the concrete.
Nobody gives any thought or speaks any words to the effect of TM’s state of mind being either confrontational or downright vigilantist in nature (if he thought GZ was a gay stalker per Jenteal).
Bob Marley never sang no Whaling Songs!
Trayvon was so scared, he decided to give Z a beatdown?
If you want to know what went down between George and Trayvon, send a white guy walking though Trayvon’s old neighborhood where he grew up in Miami Gardens at night and see what happens.
Has this woman been traveling abroad and had no internet for the past several weeks or something?
Mammas don’t let your babies grow up to be thugs.
There is no amount of logic that will ever convince people like Melvina that Martin attacked.
I identify with Zimmerman and she along with of the lynch Zimmerman mob can kiss my ass.
