Quote from IShopAtPublix:
My mind was made up way back in 2012 because all the evidence coming out pointed away from "wanton disregard of human life", "malice/hatred", etc to basic self-defense.
When Prosecutors presented the charging affidavit which had nothing at all , and which was widely ridiculed by peopled like Dershowitz, I knew they had nothing. When they said they will do their talking in the courtroom, I knew they were full of shit. When opening statements came and went, everything I thought about this case was reconfirmed. Time and time again, prosecution was short on details and long on emotion.
Even according to a tactless, semi-literate whale of a person coached by Mr. Crump (aka Trayvon's "friend"), Zimmerman did not walk up to Trayvon and say "hey nigger, get out of my neighborhood or I will shoot you in the face". He asked him what he was doing there. They were burglaries in the area and Trayvon was not using the main entrance but walking suspiciously.
There are physical injuries consistent with being punched in the face, an eye witness that was not impeached in any way putting trayvon on top and zimmerman screaming for help. It only makes sense if Zimmerman screamed for help since Trayvon has no injuries to his face (Zimmerman was clearly losing the fight). There is a good delay between screams for help and the gunshot, which means Zimmerman was quite patient (wanton disregard for human life goes out the window). Trayvon not having Zimmerman DNA on his fists does not mean much since it was raining heavily and proper evidentiary protocols could have been not followed.
The case is as simple as it can be. A future thug picked up a fight but forgot to take into account that people can carry guns on them. If Trayvon was scared of Zimmerman he would have went to his house (he had plenty of time), hid, or called 911 (or a combination of those things) he did neither. That tells you he was not afraid of Zimmerman.
I am a democrat and I don't like people in my party to be wrong but this case is a classic example of liberal delusion. No amount of wishful thinking can turn this into a racial profiling case. This is Duke Lacrosse on steroids. Nifong is an angel compared to Angela Corey.
