Carrying a gun doesn't mean you intend to kill someone. Do you call all cops that have to shoot murderers?
You should never carry a gun unless you intend to use it and you don't use it unless you intend to kill.
Do you always compare all murderers to cops?

He didn't instigate the situation in any way.
Zimmerman broke no laws and did not disobey any orders.
He was jumped by someone as he walked through the neighborhood looking for them. He was not in a hot pursuit and he didn't have a gun drawn or try to fight them. He is not liable for any of it. Martin started running while Zimmerman was on the phone, and was in much better shape/a football player, yet he died less than a football field from his door. So either Zimmerman has the ability to control time, or Martin stopped and waited on Zimmerman/circled back on him, or hid and waited. Not something you would do if you were afraid.
What does that tell you seriously? Lapse in time, or looking for a fight?edit on 5-12-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

NO i wouldn't be in that situation. See if i wanted to play wanna be cop I would hit the gym, train in mma and make sure a 160 lb bean pole couldn't put me in that situation.
LMAO!!! Well ain't you the "macho, macho man"! LMAO (even harder)
You are truly a fool if you believe that nonsense!
I once watched a 135 lb. "wimp" kick my buddy's ass because he let his mouth overload his ass. My buddy held several heavyweight boxing titles at the time.
Thanks for the laugh though!
See ya,

lol nonsense so you are saying fitness level , strength and especially cardiovascular fitness and a form of mma training doesn't play a major role in a physical confrontation? Your the fool. Treyvon was a toothpick the guy was small and not muscular and ill stand by my fact that anyone who thinks he was a muscular monster must be pretty puny.edit on 5-12-2012 by hellbjorn012 because: (no reason given)

Internet tough guys are always so amusing. They are like the 400 pound armchair quarterback screaming at the coaches on Sunday, convinced that if THEY had the chance, they'd win a Super Bowl by themselves. It's so easy to say how tough you are, or would be, when you are sitting safely behind your computer screen.

I would give you all the stars from this thread if I could.
That thought means much more to me than the stars would, so thank you very much for that.
The fact that Martin had already disappeared from Zimmerman's sight, and didn't continue to run home, is very telling for me. The only way they could have come face to face in such a short time was if Martin attempted to confront or attack Zimmerman.
Something else sticks in my craw too: Martin had a phone with him, if he was really afraid of George, why didn't he call 911? There is only one good reason for that: He didn't want to get involved with the cops.
It's amazing how so many individuals can look at the photo you posted and claim that Trayvon was a harmless kid that only weighed 160 pounds. That is nothing but nonsense. Those that do so are blinded by their own prejudices, incapable of honesty, or truly are idiots.
See ya buddy,
Milt
Black guys aren't as cowardly to call the cops. We are warriors and look to handle our own problems first.

These are just a bunch of trigger happy punks, probably been beat up before and now they have a gun they think they don't have to worry about being punked anymore.
But a punk is a punk and it will always shine through. Some of these punks will make the same mistake GZ and Dunn made, and they will be in prison, and they will not have a pistol. They will be the ones washing undies and suffering humiliation as some homo man tapes a picture of his girlfriend on their back.
Are you a member of the Village People? Because you have the "Macho, Macho Man" routine down! So, you're next step should be to proudly proclaim that you are a warrior and would never take sh*t from nobody, right?

Even more amusing are the internet cowards...

Tell me, then, what exactly qualifies as a "real man" and what makes you the arbiter of who does or does not qualify?
How vague and useless, thank you.

A grown man who can handle a 17 y/o 160lb beanpole without a gun..

So a 160lb kid can hand you your arse huh...

There seem to be two camps in this thread, those that feel they would too have needed a gun to defend against small treyon and those who are confident they wouldn't.
