No, it's you that A: Can't see the grey area, and B: Have zero understanding of the law regarding self defense. If the prosecution lays out their case as you described (which they won't) it will result in an acquittal. Could result in the Judge not even letting the jury have the case, though I don't see that happening at all.
If Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, Zimmerman wins, period, then end.
What's funny to me is that now CZ and others have painted Zimmerman as the one behaving "suspiciously."
Good Lord, the guy was in his own neighborhood where he took on a thankless role in the Neighborhood Watch Program (something that most good neighborhoods use as a selling point with realtors, 'we take care of each other), he clearly took his role in protecting the neighborhood seriously and did all the right things (according to the transcripts of the calls).
So the guy who's where he's supposed to be and doing what he's supposed to be doing is the "suspicious" one?
Fuck me running. I honestly believe it's going to take some catastrophic event, something that pushes this country to the brink of extermination, to yank the fucking blinders off so many people.
I have no ground to stand on here because I was never in a position to do so, but we've got an entire generation that has no idea what it takes to defend and protect this country -- and do that before anything else. It's a generation now that's raised on the idea that "emotion" trumps reason. We don't have ANYBODY, it seems, who understands the rules of engagement when it comes to war. Nobody will make the hard calls, we think we can talk and protest march our way out of anything.
We've lost the concept of patriotism and substituted individual agenda. We aren't "one nation under God."
I'm pretty worried actually because it's coming. Destruction is coming. Our own people will lead us to it and will eventually have to be crushed.
