OHMYGOSH! This is too funny.
Really TOS? How about Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? The New Black Panther Party? Even Zer0bama?
By what standard do you measure if someone's opinion needs to kept silent?
Here's some more "simple stuff" for ya. You put so much credit on Zer0's time at Harvard that it should point that you would value to opinions of anothe Harvard Professor. Or is it you that is the hypocrite?
TRP TRP TRP.. you try so hard, but fail so miserably. There are plenty of links that have the unedited audio recording of the 911 call. If you cant find it, then Im sorry, but I cant hold your hand through the process.
As for Zimmerman, my conclusions were based upon the objective data available to us in the public, minus the forensic evidence that in my opinion would back up my claims. Seeing that he was charged with a crime (second degree murder), then I would say that I am closer to the truth than you are.
I dont care about Television pundit claims, especially those spewed on FOX news. As I told you from the jump, all you have to do, is listen to the tape, listen to what zimmerman says SENTENCE BY SENTENCE, stopping the recording each time to digest what he says, and then ask yourself, "if zimmerman is willing to exaggerate the claims on the call, why would he tell the truth about the circumstances of the shooting?"
It was the perfect storm for zimmerman. He was a hot head (with his record of previous arrests and restraining orders), and he needed a victim to bully in the neighborhood. Trayvon provided him with two elements of that storm. First, being black, second, being on the street alone. With these two factors, Zimmerman could "create" the circumstances for his heroic actions. In addition, what fueled his haste was the fact that he was carrying a gun for NO APPARENT reason.
He jacks himself up following Trayvon, his addrenalin pumping, he makes the call, exaggerates everything he says and convinces himself that they are true, follows the kid on foot despite being told not to TWICE and ends up in a confrontation where he has to take out a gun and apply lethal force.
This is a pretty easy case to digest.
When the evidence is presented in court, I am guessing that the ballistics report will show that Zimmerman shot Trayvon while he was on the ground. This will be the reason for the murder aspect of the charge.
Give it some thought.
Peace
