He told the dispatcher there was a suspicious suspect in the community. He was told not to engage nor pursue, but, with all the crime there, he decided to follow, but, and I'm guessing, at a reasonable distance.
Trayvon tells his girlfriend there's somebody following him. I think T eluded him in there somewhere (either running and circling back or hiding behind something).
As Z heads back to his truck, he's jumped from behind. Staggering and falling, T jumps on top of him and begins to pummel him. Z, knowing he's getting beat to a pulp, reaches for his weapon and probably fires from 6 to 12 inches away.
If this is in fact the scenario, T deserved what he got. He assaulted someone, and that someone happened to be armed. Bad break for him.
No one has ever confirmed that he assaulted a bus driver in the days leading to the incident in Sanford, and maybe he didn't. But, if he did, I would not doubt the above scenario AT ALL.
Where did THIS fantasy come from?
MS, maybe you should share what YOU'RE smoking.
I can't post it because I'm on my cell, but the AP/NYT reports new documents released. I'm sure someone (LC) will get around to posting the article before I get back to my computer.
Most is equivocal - everyone will find something to support his/her argument.
Of particular interest to me was the report of the lead investigator, who recommended charging Zimmerman with manslaughter. He wrote that the incident WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED (my emphasis) if Zimmerman had stayed in his vehicle as instructed and "had identified himself as a member of the Neighborhood Watch instead of confronting Martin."
