MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Hopes Trayvon Martin 'Whooped The S*** Out Of Zimmerman

Really, so why didn't Zimmerman do that when Trayvon approached his truck?

When he walked to his truck Zimmerman could have said, "good evening".

Trayvon: "why are you following me?"

Zimmerman: " I apologize if I startled you, I live over at Apt 3d and I am on the NW committee. I saw you walking and I thought you might be alittle lost do you need any assistance?"

Trayvon: "No I am good, just heading back to my father's spot".

Zimmerman: "Oh, ok have a good evening."

Trayvon: "Peace".

See what I can't understand is how you folks think a 17yr old teenager should have been more mature than a 28yr old man.

 

Zimmerman was a klutz and probably tripped over his two left feet and fell on his empty head.

 

Every point you make is right on. Especially your point about the black teen from Chicago. That would have been the perfect time for 0bama and his morons to jump up and say, "ENOUGH!" The perfect time for the racist administration to make a difference. But since a black thug killed her, it barely made headlines and certainly wouldn't have had she not just played at 0bama's inauguration. Very sad.

Tray came from a broken home. That was the first thing to go against him. It went straight downhill from there.

 

If your standing your ground against a guy with a gun armed only with your culture inflicted superhuman thug attitude, I would recommend teaching your child to call the police instead unless you like crying over their coffin. It does two things, saves their life and determines if Zimmerman is a whacko that should be removed from the streets by the police. If you really want to get back at Zimmerman if he was harrasing you it is much better to watch him get arrested rather than have him shoot you in the heart.

 

No one should thats why modern society has what we call "Police" to handle these people. I cant be more clear. If you want to cry over your sons casket, then teach him to attack unknown strangers at night instead of calling the police. I myself would teach my child to never attack a stranger for this very reason. Acting like a tough guy isnt going to save lives in this situation, its going to almost always end exactly as this did. Like I said if it were me, Id be smart and teach youth to fight with the law not their fists. If you really want to f someone over who is messing with you, you put them in jail without raising a finger except to call the police and laugh about later the next day.

 

You lost those assertions and conjecture at trial why do you keep repeating them?

 

You are a coward when you defend yourself?

What evidence supported that assertion?

Unfortunately Martin was not taught the same and decided to play tough guy and got himself killed.

And when the evidence doesn't support your assertions just make some up just as long as you can vilify Zimmerman.

- - - Updated - - -

Because he did not want a confrontation and Martin was acting confrontational.

So if Zimmerman was just out to kill Martin why didn't he just get out and shot him?

 

The part that had me shaking my head in disbelief was in the courtroom, when the defense used a stuffed dummy to demonstrate how Zimmerman's head was repeatedly slammed against the concrete with little effort and the prosecution did not object and point out that obviously, Zimmerman's upper body and head weighed way more than that of the dummy and a lot more resistant to that type of motion. The prosecution sucked.

 

It sucks because they were trying to convict an innocent man.

 

No, regardless of your opinion of the case, they allowed a nonsensical demonstration to be performed without objecting...that was my point. In such a serious trial, details are of the upmost importance. And btw...Zimmerman was never pronounced "Innocent". He was found not guilty...there is a legal difference.

 

The state had nothing to work with, period. I say they had nothing because nothing existed , you say they had nothing due to some conspiracy theory.

 

You don't know how he was acting so stop making things up. The one who was the adult acted like anything but.

 

You don't know how he was acting , so stop making things up.

 

Trayvon wasn't exactly a toddler and he sure as heck wasn't the 12 year old the media tried to make him out to be. How old does a person have to be to know how stupid it is to attack a stranger?

 

In a murder trial there is never not something to work with, in spite of the fact that the advantage does go to the one left alive to tell their version of events.

 

and the neighbors , and the physical evidence , etc... you watched trial ? or no ?

 

Yes...out of 2 choices, guilty or not guilty, how many times in a court of law have you heard "innocent" as an option for the jury?

 

Never , it doesn't exist. that won't stop them lol.

 

There are broken homes all over this country. I divorced when our youngest, a by, was around 10. Dale, if my son was on his 2nd suspension, to me,, that would have been a red flag and I would have done whatever it took to get him back on the right track.... and giving him freedom to wander over to the store at night-time or even daytime would never have happened. It's called 'consequences'....

No, it's not easy raising teens, especially when dad isn't around, but then I was lucky - had a terrific b/f, former Marine, and he stepped up to the plate when it came to my son and was there for him..... firm, a real father figure, but also a friend.

Divorced, single mom or whatever - the kids need your attention and you need to know what they're up to. That's a parent's responsibility and daddy Martin failed his son.......

 

You don't seem to understand, do you? I'm not participating in arguing this overly argued case with you. I'm pointing out an error in the how the prosecution handled a particular demonstration by the defense in the courtroom.

 

Unfortunate that Zimmerman is having such a hard time. After all, he did perform a public service.
