If Zimmerman guessed the age of the younger guy, he probably said something provocative and Martin probably responded. Due to the previous problems in the neighborhood, it is possible Zimmerman tried to order Martin out of the area. A smart young guy would have just countered, verbally, and the quarrel would have continued for a few moments and then stopped. Smart people try to avoid fights. Fights are for the boxing ring—for Alis and Marcianos, not for Martins and Zimmermans.<br />Seventeen years old guys love to fight, it is man’s nature. Martin didn’t find Zimmerman much of an opponent and wanted to prove his point. If he attacked Zimmerman from behind, Zimmerman had the right to shoot him in self-defense. There was no time to find out who was armed and who was not armed. It was too late for that. Besides, he was losing the fight. It is also obvious that Zimmerman did not wish to kill Martin, not at first, anyway.<br />However, it is also very true that Zimmerman tried to act as a policeman, maybe even God, and failed miserably. He killed a man. Most cops are trained to avoid all physical confrontations. A few friendly words from Zimmerman might have placated Martin. Being considerably older than Martin, Zimmerman should have known better. Much better. And, in that sense, Zimmerman might be partly guilty but no one knows for sure.<br />The point is, no one knows why the fight began—the details. There are people who just love to fight, especially the young strong guys. Could be Martin was in a bad mood already, all he needed was a Zimmerman. A single word from anyone around could have angered him sufficiently to start a fight. And so, we don’t know all the facts. Racial issues happen only when both parties act disrespectfully or, among hooligans. <br />All good people are all-color-blind.snedeltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549165489004301537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095335453522927911.post-25294486539319933352013-07-16T08:11:44.206-07:002013-07-16T08:11:44.206-07:00Thank you Tee Bone -- height/weight were and alway...Thank you Tee Bone -- height/weight were and always will be 5'11"/158 lbs, there's NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT HERE. Also, even if Trayvon Martin had been 6'5" and 280 lbs, Zimmerman, a 28-year old at the time (more than ten years Trayvon's senior) BROUGHT A GUN to a confrontation with a person he knew nothing about -- his racist motivations are clear. Had he not brought the gun to the confrontation, he may or may have not been beaten up. Because he brought the gun, a KID is dead. That's all there is to it. Zimmerman we in the wrong in bringing the gun in the first place, and should be in jail for life for taking the life of an innocent kid (and yes he was a kid -- 17 is still a minor, that is also not a matter of opinion).wowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989297917651192591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095335453522927911.post-71653909274339310762013-06-18T10:07:21.605-07:002013-06-18T10:07:21.605-07:00A persons physicality does not pose an advantage o...A persons physicality does not pose an advantage or disadvantage in a physical confrontation. It sickens me when bloggers hide their racist beliefes by saying Travon hight and weight gave him the advantage. What about Zimmermans age. Zimmerman was more than 7years older than travon. He should have the scenic to have stood down when he was told to. Zimmerman was not physically threatend by travon.

IF Zimmerman wieghed 225 lbs (he LEFTIST Chicago Tribune has him at 175), at 5 feet, 9 inches tall, he would hav to ROLL after a YOUNG MAN like Trayvon Martin (6 feet and more thall). That would again indicate that Martin should EASILY have been able to avoid Zimmerman, if that was what he wanted. But that is not the pont--the main point--either. <br /><br /><br />The main poiint is that this tuff (height and weight) is NOT a matter of OPINION. I don't care what ANYONE'S "opinion" is as to either the weight of Zimmerman OR whether (for example)) he said "f--ing coons". Zimmerman weighs what he weighs, and Martin weighed wkhat he weighed. Your OINION does not change the facts, whatever they are, and if yu thing yur OPINON MATAAAAATERS, then yu should apply to work at the despicable CNN or the AP or whatever wother media outlet yu prefer to IGNORE FACATS at. aNope. It does not make it a matter of opinon whether Zimmerman said "foo---ing coosn" that yu can't really tell what he said. Zimmerman still said what he said, and you can't MAKE UP WHAT HE SAID jsut because you have an AGENDA. If what Zimmmerman said is too distorted to make it out, then there is only one FACT: We DON'T KNOW what he said. And it is WILDLY UNLIKELY that he said "f----ing coons". This blog has gone so far as to say that is eesetntiallly IMPOSSIBLE, because NO ONE says that (especialy as theiri 'racial slur" of choice in "pursuit". <br /><br />No. It is a BAD thing to regard these things as a matter of opinion. They ar NOT The really bad thing is that the MEDIA is treating them as matters of opin. As this blog has repeeatedly said: It is too bad the media no longer has the higher standards of YELLOW JOURNALISM, and the days of William Randolph Hearst ("yu provide the pictures, and I will provide the war")/Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348714266379409861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095335453522927911.post-90621532110899768012012-04-06T21:07:54.895-07:002012-04-06T21:07:54.895-07:00I think Zimmerman is like 225 lbs.
