This “17 year old kid” was 6’2” and a football player at his school from what I read. So don’t let the old pictures of him fool you. Ever wonder why they aren’t showing any recent pictures of him in the media?
He was no small child or innocent angel.
IN a neighborhood where that has been an increase in burglaries and other incidents ( enough that a neighborhood watch had been set up) ANY one that is not one of the regulars would be considered suspicious. I follow people often. You apparently didn’t read the part where Zimmerman said Martin asked him if he had a problem. Zimmerman says no and then Martin says well you do now and inches him in the use knocking Zimmerman to the ground. Martin did not leave at this point he escalated the attack slamming Zimmerman’s head into the side walk (eye witness reports to the police that night, police statements about Zimmerman’s condition when they arrived, later reports of a broken nose). Seems to me you want to emphasize the ‘kid’ part. This was not a kid this was a young adult thug up to no good. Don’t try to sugar coat it
