walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[LytoMe]

Did GZ have a right to confront Martin, Depends. Depends on if he was calm or an asshole, IMO.

How do you figure it depends? GZ was in his truck and Martin was walking. The cops told GZ to stop following him and he didn't listen. Unless the kid was robbing an old lady on the street corner he had absolutely no reason to confront him.

This is where you and I disagree.

I don't think GZ actually ever confronted T. Yes, he was 'stalking' him as many here like to say. I prefer 'following at a distance' ON FOOT. He's now out of his truck as he muttered 'these guys always get away'.

Thinking he's lost him Z is now returning to his truck. This is where T jumps him, knocking him to the ground.

At this point, with someone on top of him, I could understand Z going for his gun.

IMO, this makes T the actual aggressor in this case.

I've said it before in this thread. If you're going to bumrush somebody, make sure they're unarmed, or take their weapon from them.

This is exactly my point, your version is very different from the others above.

NO ONE can say what happened that night. It is all speculation at this point. No video evidence of the event, no witness to the actually event.
