[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So far, we know this: a 17 year old 140-lb black teenager who was armed with skittles and ice tea and wearing a hoodie was walking home from the convenience store. He was visiting his father, so he had a right to be in the neighborhood (for the amazingly obtuse person who said that "piece of excrement that didn't belong in the neighborhood). A 28 year old Caucasian man who had a history of violence, and was over 200-lbs was an unauthorized vigilante armed with a gun, phoned 911. When he described the situation, he used racial epithets. He was told explicitly not to follow the youth. He ignored the instructions and followed the youth. [b]The youth, for some reason (probably fearful he was being stalked or chased, but that is hearsay) ran and the perpetrator now maliciously chased the victim again counter to the instructions of the police. The youth who was unarmed and fleeing was being chased by the adult with the gun.[/b] The youth ends up dead and the primary suspect is not being detained. These are details that were given by family and eyewitnesses in interviews and by evidence of the 911 recordings. [/quote]

Different PP - do we know that there was a chase?  I hadn't read that.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but-

Trayvon was on the phone with his girlfriend in the moments leading up to his murder. He told her a strange man was following him, but he managed to lose the man and he was going to quickly walk home. Then Zimmerman, who'd been following Trayvon, reappeared. [/quote]

Trayvon probably thought that Zimmerman was a pedophile trying to grab him. My kids are instructed to yell, kick, fight back and run. Not stand there like fools. So if every time a big man grabs a kid or approaches him, is the child supposed to passively take it for fear of being shot?[/quote]
