Re: The Tragic Death of Trayvon Martin

"The source said Zimmerman, who made between $50 and $100 a night, was let go in 2005.

“He had a temper and he became a liability,” the man said. “One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted,” he said. “It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out.”

The year 2005 was a bad one for Zimmerman: he was arrested for fighting with a cop trying to arrest his friend for underage drinking, and he and his ex-fiancée took out protective orders against each other.

I don't own a gun either. I'm not especially scared of 17 year olds but your assertion that 17 year olds can only engage in schoolyard hijinx is silly. And you made it on 4 consecutive days.

And I see you backed off the "until I have multiple bones fractures" standard so I'm sorry for bringing that up.

He said he'd turn around and say "Nothing sir, just walking home. Is there a problem?" And then I asked him if he seriously would have answered like that, knowing how we grew up and all the situations/fights/problems we've had on the street. He said absolutely. He said he isn't risking his job, his livelihood, his life, but getting into a confrontation where he knows for a fact something like this could easily happen when people get hot-headed.

Pretty much he was saying Trayvon could have responded calmly and in a docile manner and none of this would have happened. He did mention there's no way to tell if Zimmerman ran up to him and put his hands on him or whatever, but we have no proof of that, so we can't just say that's probably what happened. He didn't say Trayvon should have simply "bitched up" and did what he was told to do, he's simply saying that if Trayvon stopped, complied, and waited for the cops or whatever, we wouldn't be talking about this right now.

While I have respect for your friend in his work, as well as dbj in his work, both of them are only seeing this situation through the eyes of a trained, composed, professional person.

GZ was NOT a trained composed professional. There was a job fair in NYC held on the Intrepid for ex military to seek out employment. One of the biggest hurdles the applicants said they had in landing a job was the question of PTSD. If they admitted it, they tended to not get a 2nd interview.

So if trained personnel are capable of issues after lethal interactions, why should this vigilante be defended BEFORE he has been cleared of similar psychological issues.

I've lived in the hood almost my entire life and I've never seen a situation where the police know who the shooter is and didn't arrest them (unless the shooter was a LEO). THAT would be the difference.

Re: The Tragic Death of Trayvon Martin

throwing a drunk woman in a crazy fit of rage is bad news for GZ, but it certainly is entertaining for us.
