You silently stalk someone, fail to identify yourself and the person turns around and confronts their stalker and an altercation ensues? And the person being stalked is at fault?
Fuck that. If it went down that way, Trayvon was standing his ground.
How can it be anything other than racial profiling? When Zimmerman prefaced all his statements with what some black kid was suspected of weeks previously? All of his statements begin with "... we've had previous break-ins in our community... yada yada yada.... blah blah blah... " Knowing that some black kid had been ID'd on two occasions as suspicious. And one was apprehended and arrested.
If it sounds better how about naming what Zimmerman did as criminally profiling Trayvon based on his race?
It makes no difference. If Trayvon had not been a black kid, he would be alive to day. That is my bottom line. Zimmerman is fucked.
