No, the residents of that community did.

Regardless, that still doesn't give him the authority to stalk someone. He called the police and should have left it at that.
First of all, he wasn't "stalking" anyone, he was simply trying to find out what the kid was up to.
Perhaps Martin could've just told him who he was and why he was there instead of physically attacking him but that would've made too much sense.

Okay? Calling him a "child" is disingenuous.
Sad that racists never see the bias in their stmts because they're always around other bias filled persons that validate their bullshite
I think Trayvon had been kept back in school that is why I mistakenly thought he was 13, I graduated HS at 17 and I know Trayvon wasn't close to graduating so I wrongly assumed he was 13, but in no way was he a WELL BUILT YOUNG MAN , purposely worded that way to make a young black man sound more threatening, a behavior founded in racial bias, Cops do it all the time
A Black man that committed no crime in Aurora Colo was murdered in police custody and Cops claimed they were struggling with a 220 lb man and he ended up actually weighing 145 lbs
I was very accurate in describing Trayvon as gangly and goofy and very likely non threatening

Trayvon attacked someone, your fictional rape victim did not.

Sure you were.

The altercation began, he said, when Martin suddenly appeared while Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle.
quote:
Zimmerman said that Martin asked, "You got a fricking problem, homie?" Zimmerman replied no, then Martin said "You got a problem now" and punched Zimmerman. As they struggled on the ground, Zimmerman on his back with Martin on top of him, Zimmerman yelled for help "probably 50 times" based on audio evidence.
quote:
Martin told him to "Shut the frick up" as he hit him in the face and pounded his head on a concrete sidewalk. When Zimmerman tried to move off the concrete, Martin saw his gun and said "You're going to die tonight motherfricker!" Martin grabbed for the gun, but Zimmerman grabbed it first. He said after firing his weapon at Martin, he was not sure at first that he had hit him, so he got on top of him in order to subdue him. Bystanders and police arrived shortly after Martin was shot.
quote:
Zimmerman was diagnosed with a closed fracture of his nose, two black eyes, lacerations to the back of his head, a minor back injury, and bruising in his upper lip and cheek.
A "gangly, goofy, non threatening child."

while that is adorable and precious, these young men need to turn the page from the cover about "Black Lives Matter." My all means, "black lives matter" but the BLM group is a bunch of Marxist wanting anarchy.

And there is the fricking RACISM!
Trayvon had 4th amendment rights, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, he doesn't have to tell Zimmerman jack shite, AND Zimmerman has no right to find out what he is up to
He was headed HOME walking on a public sidewalk and wasn't on private property peeking in windows or looking in the windows of parked cars, nothing that can be construed as suspicious behavior and Zimmerman called the police based on a young black man was walking, nothing else
A black person walking down the fricking street going on their fricking merry way doesn't need to be supervised by any other individual
The fricking Constitution has to work for Blacks also, Trayvon had fricking 4th Amendment Rights and your fricking a-hole statement above totally disregarded that basic fundamental right, and you disregarded those rights because Trayvon was Black
People with racial biases don't realize it because they are around other assholes that think the same way, and feel validated because "well I must be right cause all these others think the same way I do"

Actually he did have a right to defend himself if he felt threatened. We don't know that because he's dead and wasn't able to tell his side of the story.
I think any reasonable person can admit both parties made mistakes that night. Either could have easily made decisions that would have prevented the outcome that came.

You are a fool. Martin started the physical confrontation and Zimmerman was within his rights to use the force that he did. If it were any other race of person, they would have gotten shot and killed as well. Stop making it a racial hate crime when it's not. I wonder what you would do if someone is assaulting you like that and then threatens your life? I'm guessing you would just tell him to please stop while he's attacking you and not take any action to defend yourself? Idiot.

Amazing that you go straight to that, and conveniently IGNORE all the dominoes that had to to fall before that happened, all the things that Zimmerman did wrong, ignoring the explicit instructions of a 911 operator, not assuming that Trayvon had 4th Amendment Rights, etc
Like I said, if you follow a woman in the dark you might get maced, you do the same to a TEEN you might get your punk arse whipped if you're Zimmerman

No doubt.
Zimmerman shouldn't have taken the law into his hands but if you take the crime around the area into consideration plus the fact that the neighborhood had put him in charge of the neighborhood watch program, its easy to see why he felt responsible.
One can say call the cops but everyone knows thats prettty futile, police exist mostly to clean up after crimes and write reports.
All of this could've been avoided if Martin would've identified himself like any reasonable person would've done.

This entire exchange operates under the presumption that Zimmerman is telling the truth. Considering the bias in the situation, one should not take his account to be absolute. I'm not saying he is lying, but he is not an impartial observer in the situation. He was being questioned about killing someone. It is unlikely he would say, "I saw a black kid and shot him because I'm scared of black kids."
Treating his word as impartial is a poor method of forming opinions of guilt or innocence.
