This is why we all cant have guns.

Kid goes to a store, ends up getting shot in a gated community... By overzealous neighborhood watch. Poor kid killed. Not everyone has the mental capacity and decision making processes that trained soldiers or police have. Seriously. Neighborhood watch.

This escalates into threatening behaviour and the 17 year old makes neighbourhood watch man think he's going to be attacked. Shit happens and the boy gets shot. Yes, this situation sounds bullshit, but the article is very biased and there is always 2 sides to a story. I am not justifying his actions of shooting someone but just putting the idea across that it wasn't just some young boy minding his own business when a shot rings out from across the street and kills him. |

If you've got a gun and I've got no weapons, but I'm bigger and stronger than you and make you believe that I'm going to stomp your brains in, you'd shoot me.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
In America, Neighborhood Watch is not a vigilante group or volunteer police force. They are community members who are trained to contact authorities when they are witnessing a CRIME occuring.
By 'acting suspicious' and big and menacing, what you really mean is that a black dude is in a white neighborhood and shouldn't be there. In Florida, this not a crime last time I checked. The shooter was a kid himself. How can you interpret their difference in size from an article that showed a picture of the murder victim in his little league uniform?

Let the police conduct their investigation and find out the fact themselves. A person walking down the street is not suspicious. If the kid was going about his business he would have walked through the area and nothing would have happened. How was he in the same place long enough for someone to make a call to the police? How did this confrontation ever take place? Was the kid hanging about and looking into people's properties? He must have be doing something! There is no way a person would be walking from point A to B without doing something on the way (apart from being black) that would have resulted in this incident. I just don't believe this case is as simple as it seems. |

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
you're right- it's not.
it turns out the shooter, (28, not 26 as I mentioned) has a record of resisting arrest and battery on a police officer, charges also dropped. the crazy biased media told me this, as confirmed by the Orange County Clerk of Courts. the victim has no criminal record of sorts. Quote:
the police told the shooter not to pursue the guy. he was walking home. |

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
vigilante justice- some angry white guy in a rich community isolated from reality sees a black kid, calls it suspicious, and calls it in...

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
911 instructed him not to pursue the "suspicious" person
the asshole couldn't follow the rules of the organization he was head of - fuck him, he may survive a stiff criminal sentence but you bet your bottom dollar he won't be living in a gated community in a couple years cuz a civil suit will fuck him up

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
I heard the 911 calls today, the police clearly told the neighborhood watch guy not to follow the kid. And he basically said he looked suspicious because he was walking down the sidewalk with his hand in his pocket.
I honestly don't think the shooter can get away with this. He's claiming he acted in self defense, but it can't be self defense if he was following the kid in the first place. That in itself makes him the aggressor. If some asshole confronted me from behind after following me, I'd put up a fight too. it's a tragic situation, but Zimmerman should be punished. You can't just go around confronting people you think look suspicious. And the only reason he wasn't arrested was because the conservative gun nuts applied castle laws to the streets, so people can get away with killing someone as long as it's in self defense. The jerks who wrote the law should get sued for wrongful death. |

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
Teenage girl reports she was on phone with Trayvon just before the shooting. He felt he was the one in danger....and apparently so.
The guy who killed him should be locked up as we speak - there was no self-defense, just murder. http://abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-mar...7#.T2hfLNlZV_Y

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
He followed and harrassed and killed that poor kid in cold blood. In my perfect little world George Zimmerman would be tied to a tree and stoned to death, but since that's not possible I hope justice will come for Trayvon Martin.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
You're obviously joking about the 'in a perfect' world bit, that's ridiculous.
Zimmerman was clearly looking for trouble and had hate on his mind, why is he not facing charges? |

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
This is such a mind boggling story because Its so simple, yet Zimmerman hasn't been charged yet.

No I wasn't joking, but I do realize that my idea of punishment is just a pipe dream.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
There's been all sorts of reports coming out that 'witnesses' saw Martin beating up Zimmerman, as if it's some sort of justification for the shooting. I don't think so. You don't needlessly pursue a guy, start giving him hassle, pull out a gun and possibly make a guy fight for his life thinking he was going to get shot. Oh, and then shoot him.
My bet is on the gun was already drawn when Zimmerman confronted Martin and Martin of course freaked out. |
