Just one more piece of evidence among 13,895,378 others that DUmbasses operate in an entirely different universe than the rest of humanity.
In their world, the defense attorney, for someone whom they've already determined guilt, is only supposed to stand in front of the jury and state, "My client is not guilty", followed by a big theatrical wink and a laugh, and let "justice" take its course. No picking apart of details, no impeachment of the witnesses credibility, no zealously defending his client, just be a placeholder to comply with procedure.
My take: Zimmerman saw what he judged to be a hoodie-covered punk skulking around suspiciously in his neighborhood and decided to report him to the cops. Because of the recent history of break-ins and the fact that they had all gotten away he decided to "observe and report" on this guy's location so he wouldn't have disappeared by the time the cops arrive. St. Trayvon Of Skittles took umbrage at the sight of some Cracka Mutha****a looking at him suspiciously and thought he'd bow up and get in a quick beatdown of Cracka Mutha****a for "disrespecting" him. Maybe even call his hoodrat back afterwards and brag about it. Only this time, he chose poorly. Cracka Mutha****a had a piece and dispatched St. Trayvon Of Skittles to Arizona Iced Heaven.
Some people just aren't willing to accept a depressed skull fracture and receiving sustenance through a nasogastric tube for the rest of their life. The nerve. It takes all kinds, though, to make up a world, I suppose.
Now, would this not have happened of Zimmerman had not gotten out of his truck? Probably not. It would not have happened if Z had stayed home to watch the game.
It would not have happened if it had been raining harder.
It would not have happened if St. T Of S had continued home.
I would not have happened if Z had forgotten his cell phone.
It would not have happened if St.T Of S had made a right turn instead of a left somewhere.
It would not have happened if a butterfly had flapped its wings in China one more beat.
If...If...If...If
The question is not what hypothetical set of circumstances might have avoided this unfortunate situation, but what was the proximal cause of it. It is not illegal to report suspicious activity to the police. It is not illegal to carry a weapon with the proper permit. It is not illegal to get out of your vehicle in your own neighborhood. It is not illegal to follow someone at a distance in public for a short while to see where they're going. And it is not a legal and reasonable reaction to attempt to beat someone's brains out for performing any of those activities, no matter what your personal opinions of Cracka Mutha****as are.
It's too bad the DUmmies move through their universe shouldering a Michael Moore-sized load of white guilt, especially with that awful jerking knee problem they've had for the last half century, but it's time to wake up and Taste The Rainbow of reality. It's about to be force fed to them.
