As I said previously, if the view Zimmerman expects to obtain is the suspect running away, the inference can't be that Zimmerman desired a confrontation.

Oh, the inference is that TM desired a confrontation....and he showed this by running away?

btw...exactly how was TM a "suspect"?

Of course not. But the question was whether or not Zimmerman wanted a confrontation, and whether or not getting out of the truck means Zimmerman wants a confrontation. My point is that I think all Zimmerman wants (and the most he expects) is to regain visual contact.

The evidence that TM desired a confrontation is myriad, but running to elude in the first place is not one of those points.

-- exactly how was TM a "suspect"? --

Zimmerman characterized Martin's actions as suspicious, thought the stranger was up to no good.

As she spoke about her son, Fulton also detailed her family’s Justice for Trayvon Foundation, which helps teens identify signs of racial profiling.

How about helping them avoid acting like a thug?

A civilian's opinion of another civilian's behaviour does not make the second civilian a "suspect". The acceptance of that is exactly the profiling issue that sharpton and company harp on.

One very well-known and prolific freeper stated here that "all black youths are suspect - they kill". Let's try to avoid giving those who declare FR to be a racist site too much proof of it.
