The teen was unarmed. He was in his father’s community and returning to his home after a trip to buy candy. He could be my son or my grandson.
It is not analysis, it is speculation.
We simply do not know what interaction the kid and Mr. Zimmerman had with one another before things got physical, nor do we know which one first attacked the other.
Observing these simple facts is not "excusing the killer". Rather, it is "not being a retard".
It stretcheds the imagination that the kid, Martin attacked Zimmerman who was in a vehicle and armed. Being an community watch doesn't give an individual any powers to arrest(harass) an individual whose only suspicious activity was walking home armed with a can of coke and a bag of skittles.
If an armed, aggressive Hispanic man followed and harassed you, what would you do?
i am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment but with this right comes responsibilities. He did not see any crime in progress(unless walking while young and black is a crime) This man was told by the cops to back off and he refused and shot this boy literally at his father's doorsteps.
In no way is self defense in the classical sense.
He murdered this unfortunate boy.
