all you've been doing is defending zimmerman saying it was media spin to make his killing of an innocent black teen look bad/look racial while justifying it by saying that trayvon was actually bigger than zimmerman who, again, was 100+ pounds bigger than trayvon and like 13 years older than him, and an adult, and calling trayvon dumb for defending himself against a guy who was following him in the middle of the night for no reason because he should have known he had a gun, that he should have known would be used against him even if he had committed no crime lol.
i don't know.....kind of looks like....you're doing all you can to defend zimmerman's actions while belittling the life and the death of an innocent black teen who'd done no crime that night. we get it. you're not racist. you actually value black lives, more so than anybody here does. we get it
You're putting words in my mouth, I'm not belittling anyone. I'm saying a 17 year old kid made a bad judgement in jumping a guy who had a gun. Young people do stupid things, doesn't mean I think he deserved to die, doesn't make me a racist to point out that a kid who is black made a dumb move. He did, sorry, it got him killed.
Zimmerman was a grown man playing cop and messing with a kid that was none of his business, no problem with him getting his derriere kicked. That said, even if you deserve to get your derriere kicked, if you have a gun on you and someone is beating your head into a sidewalk, you're likely going to shoot the guy.
All that aside, my bringing it up is about the media and the president stoking racial division and skewing the facts to create a victim narrative. Zimmerman was not an authority figure and not part of any system. He was one poopchute who may or may not have been a racist. But why the need to doctor the 911 call if you're NBC and the actual facts give you the race narrative that you're looking for? Why insert yourself if you're the president and you don't know what happened? The assumption we all had from the media was Trayvon as a 12 year old, until the court case when the lawyers had the cutouts showing the size of each guy. So that amount of misinformation for that amount of time contributed greatly to the decline in race relations, in my opinion. Once incident between two guys.
