walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[F.U.]

I hear you FU but if Z was following T that entire time, I don't fault T for confronting G. Sure, he could have kept walking but he was as entitled to stand his ground as G.

Besides the head wound (or seeming lack thereof) the other forensic evidence that bothers me is the lack of G's blood on T. One spot on his hoodie. That's it. If you're punching someone 25 times and smashing their head in to the pavement...I would expect to see some of Z's blood on T's hands. At least a few smears or something.

I would have to say that the roll of the aggressor changed hands at the point where Z cut off the "foot pursuit" as instructed by dispatch, was returning to his auto to wait for LEO and had passed the point where T was hiding. I don't think T had the right to approach Z from the back and confront him. Had T confronted Z earlier, like lets say at the clubhouse or even the point that the "foot pursuit" had began, I would agree with you, but Z had already past T and T had to change direction heading back the way he just came from.

I do think that Z fucked up when T asked him if he had a problem. I feel at that point he should have announced himself as NW. That may have changed things in itself.


With the lack of blood on T's knuckles as well as the minimal amount of wounds Z has I also question the degree of violence in this fight. Did Z fear for his life? I really cant say what the fear threshold was for Z. That is something none of us can say unless we were in that situation. I do however feel that Z was streatching the truth about the fight.
