jesus christ.
If you come up to me and say "I'm going to shoot you if you don't put on this Lollipop Chainsaw outfit for PAX" and you shoot me when I don't.
People can say I made the wrong decision.
That doesn't mean you have the right or justification or protection to kill me.
I can't tell you if Trayvon would be alive today if he explained things to Zimmerman, I'm not going to ever claim he would be. I'm saying it's more sensible option.
What's the worst that happens if he explains himself to Zimmerman, he gets shot and dies?
That's where he's at now.
Now please, join up and let everyone take this out of context despite the fact I want Zimmerman to go to trial.
Wasn't really lawyering. I'd rather it go to court whatever the charges.
I get your dissent though.
People can say whatever they want. Doesn't make them right. If someone is getting robbed and they don't give up their wallet fast enough and get shot in the head I'd disagree with someone saying or insinuating that the victim made the mistake.
If someone is about to get sexually assaulted and doesn't remove their clothes fast enough I'd disagree with someone saying or insinuating that the victim made the mistake.
I just think it's wrong to blame or insinuate an error on the part of the victim. That's really all. He shouldn't be obligated to do anything different. He did what you're suppose to do: Keep walking, resist if you need to, scream for help. He wasn't the aggressor in this. Zimmerman was. That responsibility of doing things differently if given the chance should be on him and him alone.
Who knows what would maybe might have possible could have happened if Trayvon was as submissive as humanly possible. But we do know what would have happened if Zimmerman would have stayed in his car and waited for the police: Not a damned thing.
