First of all, enough with you character assassinations of Martin…
If you don’t know, my “WTF???” comment has to do with your bullshit comment. I will repost it, if you’re confused;
"DeeDee clearly states Trayvon was near Green’s unit and obviously went back to the T to pursue, confront and assault Zimmerman."
Now, if we examine this, you are saying DeeDee said that he was near his dwelling and went back to “pursue, confront and assault Zimmerman.”
DeeDee said no such thing.
If you don’t understand the use of conjunctions, then I suggest you pick up a grammar book.
Even if i were to examine the first part of your statement, how do you define “near”? When I am 10 minutes walking distance from my house, that is “near”.
take your bullshit elsewhere…let steophan will chime in to help you.
More like “stalked, got in above his head, got angry that it wasn’t going as planned, and then killed him,” when all that TM was doing was fending off an over-zealous, extremely frustrated wannabe-cop.
If people are going to be encouraged to use profiling to help combat crime, they need to be taught it properly, and not in the half-assed way Z was obviously trained.
excuse me–you are engaging in a discussion, SO I AM RESPONDING TO YOU.
You made the statement “DeeDee clearly states Trayvon was near Green’s unit and obviously went back to the T to pursue, confront and assault Zimmerman.”
LOL, I notice you left out the issue of following someone. I assure that the no legitimate watch program encourages the behavior that Zimmerman took that night. He followed a pedestrian in a vehicle with tinted windows, then pursued on foot after the pedestrian ran from him, while carrying a loaded gun that he “forgot” he had, in the darkness of night, despite being trained against such practices.
Reckless is an understatement. It is almost hilarious when you spell it all out.
Bullsht? It is pretty well documented. But maybe you think this news story was planted months ahead of time as part of the grand conspiracy to help George. And does George’s black neighbor, quoted by GlobalGrind, that I posted above, belong to this “certain ideological strain?” :rolleyes:
Here is an article from Sept. 2011 that confirms the crime wave in Sanford. It includes several quotes from officials requesting citizen involvement and assistance.
Quote
But the answer does not lie solely with law enforcement, Chief Lee explained. Combating crime requires the assistance of everyone in the community.
“The police officers can’t do it all by themselves. We need your eyes and ears to let us know when things are going on,” the chief said. “It truly is a partnership.”
Morgenstern also stressed the importance of citizen involvement.
“The public needs to call us if they see anything suspicious. When you see something that doesn’t look right, call us out there,” he said.
How else can you report suspicious activity, unless you follow the suspect’s actions and movements with your eyes and ears? Following is not synonymous with pursuit. There is no evidence of a pursuit.
Zimmerman knew from his comprehensive experience of the previous 18 mths that whenever “these assholes” were confronted “they always got away.”
That was because they ran as soon as they knew it was on top and Z’s fat ass was too slow and dumb to catch them. So, when one of “these assholes” was seen calmly walking along as if he didn’t have a fucking single care in the world, Z must have been ecstatic.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the real reason he pulled over to phone the police, instead of continuing to drive, was so he could give his crotch and his gun a good rub.
That’s just my humble opinion and speculation, mind, and I can’t prove it in front of a group of Z’s peers.
The further Z followed TM, the less suspicious he should have got, if he was thinking rationally and not just emotionally invested in catching someone he falsely believed was a crook.
Correct and there’s no evidence or even speculated dots to connect that show Zimmerman pursuing.
As for this ‘near’ argument..
-It’s a gated community, not a huge one at that.
-He’s on foot. POV would come into play here.
Intervals of distance are often measured either as a repeating constant or relevant to how far you’ve already traveled.
Where was Trayvon coming from again? A 7-11 not far up the road.
He’s entered a confined spaced area, which has a definitive destination. His destination is closer to his current position than his point of departure.
“near” in that context would mean noticeably close.
George could go on tv saying “I hate all ni**ers and they should go back to Africa where they belong.”
