George Zimmerman - In the news again

What logic really dictates is that Martin would not have fled in a straight line. That fits the timeline.

For all we know, Martin doubled back to hide in the last place where Zimmerman would think to look: his own truck! :smiley:

Zimmerman’s own testimony has him travelling a total of ~350 feet from where he says he parked his truck to where he encountered Martin plus another ~50 to where the body was found.

This is the part, LAZombie, where you say “Oh, thank you for pointing out the actual facts. I was badly misinformed, and my argument is therefore without merit.”

Could you quote from the link? I couldn’t find the reference to 350 ft.

Beyond that, the maps in the NY Times article are very insightful. It is crystal clear that distance from Zimmerman’s truck to the place where Trayvon was shot is far less than 350 feet and more likely 75 feet.

Also it should be noted that Travyon’s home is a mere ten homes from when he died. That’s probably 350 ft from Zimmerman’s truck

“How do you know Trayvon ghost didn’t deliberately cause a wrinkle in the space-time continuum to make it seem like it was Zimmerman doing the chasing rather than the other way around, huh?”

Go to Google Maps and measure it. 75 feet was to the front of 1231 Twin Trees Lane, not the rear.

~200 feet from his truck down the footpath to Retreat View Circle + ~150 feet back across the footpath = ~350 feet.

270 feet by my count, plus of course half of that again. Look at what amazing researchers we are compared to LAZombie! I do eagerly look forward to him saying, “Oh, thank you for pointing out the actual facts. I was badly misinformed, and my argument is therefore without merit.”

More like 550.

Pro-tip:

Taking advice on what “logic dictates” from a 9-11 truther is a bad idea.

I didn’t even think of that method! ~350 total feet again.

And here’s where 75 feet would have got him - obviously the wrong side of the building.

Oh, thanks! I did not realize you could use inputs other than addresses. I’m sure I read 75 feet somewhere. My bad.

Nonetheless, Trayvon could have easily evaded Zimmerman but chose to confront him instead.

According to Zimmerman. Too bad we don’t have Martin around to tell us his side of the story.

Yeah, why didn’t he realize he wasn’t allowed to be out after sundown?

A 17 year old black child confronted a man who had profiled him for merely existing in his own neighborhood, the situation escalated, the child ended up dead, and half the country holds the child largely responsible for not having run away from the adult, rather than the adult who incorrectly profiled a child as a thief and shot him. Those are the facts.

Fuck George Zimmerman, and fuck this thread for never going away.

Might we have a phrase for the legal right to not flee from someone following you? Can you think of it?

CMC fnord!

According to LAZombie, Trayvon running away and hiding is evidence of Martin’s malice. Zimmerman’s chasing and hunting is evidence of George’s innocence.

Zimmerman can literally single out, chase, hunt, and kill a child who’s running away scared; hiding in the middle of the night from the gunman is evidence of his “guilt” and righteous slaughter.

Well… yeah. That’s Zimmerman’s target audience. His efforts are to not be forgotten by them, such silly easily-distracted creatures they are.

Hmmmm … remember, that phrase would have to refer to a legal right specifically recognized in Florida.
fnord!

Of all the dictators that you fantasize about serving, I am confident logic is not among them.
