Martin was responsible for his own behavior. Zimmerman didn't make him start bashing his head into a curb. Again, nothing changes that. There are plenty of assholes in this world and we are only responsible for our own behavior. "He made me do it" isn't really a good legal defense. Zimmerman wasn't innocent in that he had no real business following Martin. Martin's own actions, however contributed to him being shot. |
It seems awfully coincidental that Apperson would have two 'chance' encounters with Zimmerman. Whether Apperson or Zimmerman is the antagonist remains to be seen. |
Zimmerman did not fire his gun Apperson did. Martin did bash Zimmerman's head into the curb repeatedly. Zimmerman fired his weapon. The fact Zimmerman didn't fire his gun is pretty damning for Apperson. Apperson has some 'splainin' to do. |
|
I would bet anything that Zimmerman brandished his weapon. Of course, he is not going to admit that; because he has a tarnished image that spans greatly beyond his neighborhood, where it started.
|
Apperson says Zimmerman brandished his gun at him; Zimmerman says he didn't. After his recent domestic violence problems, who are you going to believe? |
Time to lawyer up, both of them. The real question is: whom do you think can afford the better lawyer? That will be the interesting part. Time to place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.

Apperson could easily have video-recorded the alleged brandishing with his cell-phone. -except he left his cell phone at home AGAIN. This required Apperson to run up to the nearest by-stander and ask: "COULD I BORROW YOUR CELL PHONE TO CALL 911 ON GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WHO I COINCIDENFALLY JUST HAD AN ALTERCATION WITH FOR THE SECOND TIME (by coincidence) AND I HATE HIM? Apperson is stalking Zimmerman. He leaves his cell phone at home because he does not want his location tracked by local police who use Stingray surveillance technology. That would prove he is stalking Zimmerman. stingray is used in Florida as well as locally. Google it. It ain't the NSA - it's your local cops tracking you. |
| Does Zimmerman have a restraining order against this guy? If not, he has every right to be driving down the street near Zimmerman. |
Meh. I would let the lawyers take care of it. Should be interesting. |
|
Do you think Zimmerman can afford a lawyer? He is awfully combative and troublemaking for someone in his situation. He'd be much better off staying off the radar, no? |
| someone needs to just knock him off and get rid of him, and I'm a non-violent person. |
You would be wrong. And I'm sick and damn tired of this "black on black crime" shit. WTF is it race-related when blacks are the perps/victims? Or do you also call it white on white crime? |
The trouble is that he can't help himself or stay off the radar. You are giving him far too much credit for self control and wisdom. |
His antics are probably a slap in the face to Martin's parents. It gives credibility to the idea that Zimmerman was the hothead that night. |
| I don't understand the logical jump that if you don't always have your cell phone with you, you are trying to avoid not being tracked. I often walk without my cell phone. Sometimes I just plain forget and walk out with it still in the charger. Everybody is not tied to their phone and don't want to be on 24/7 call. |
