Not to mention, you seem to state as a fact impossible that Trayvon ambushed Zimmerman. A resident chasing a stranger out of a crime ridden neighborhood is not escalation...it's common sense.
There is no excuse for continuing to push the lies of the media...
"All the evidence?" Martin is walking home from a convenience store
and did not commit any crime observed by Zimmerman. Who knows the
truth of what happens next? The police who arrive on the scene after the
shooting accept Zimmerman's story of self defense and release him.
Had Martin survived the shooting I would have considered jailing both
of these idiots until their stories could be sorted out. It is likely with
the known circumstances that I'd have considered charging Zimmerman
with assault with a deadly weapon and Martin with assault as well.
Zimmerman is a neighborhood watch volunteer carrying a gun. If he'd
been an actual police officer --with the authority to use deadly force--
the case would have been investigated as thoroughly or more than it
was initially here, before dismissing it as a justifiable homicide.
Neighborhood Watch groups are typically "the eyes & ears of the Police"
and observers of activities in their communities, not enforcers. They
have no authority to rough up or chase away people who pass through
their community.
