If you haven't please listen to the entire audio of the call to the dispatcher. Sorry, I'm not a link guy, not proficient in HTML, but there are plenty of links out there.
You’re right as far as I know, now. Zimmerman never attempted to talk with Trayvon. This just adds more support to the conclusion Trayvon was freaked by Zimmerman and over reacted by punching him. The emotional tug remains that you can completely understand why Trayvon was freaked. Still, he had zero right to hit Zimmerman and that’s why I think in the end Zimmerman remains free...in spite of his ‘cop’ want to be over the top behavior. Again this is a complete tragedy.
By the way, I’m a white dude. Several yeasr ago I was 30 minutes early for a doctors appointment so, I decided to walk around the block a few times to kill time. On my third lap I was approacked by a hispanic man who wanted to know why I kept passing by the ‘daycare center’ so many times,
“Wow.” I thought. This guy suspects I might be a perve. And, even though I was mostly nervous about my appointment, I could see how I might have looked suspicious to him.
Still, I didn’t get all defensive and angry....and punch the dude square in the jaw. I simply thanked the dude for looking out for the neighborhood. No harm. No foul.
The fact is, we are still at a point in our society where a white dude like me is thankful neighbors are looking out for neighbors but, a black kid like Trayvon’s first impression is that Zimmerman was there to beat him down and felt so threatened he was compelled to violence.
Who knows why I look at the world differently than Trayvon? I do know that when Al Sharpton purposely turns it into a circus and President Obama strikes his ‘civil rights’ pose as if we’re all still living in the year 1812, this only stirs the pot further.....as opposed to helping all of us come to a better understanding of each other.
