[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a new poster and cannot believe the majority of these posters seem to blame Trayvon and assume he was in the wrong. I have a teenage son and this story just breaks my heart. Trayvon sounds like he was a pretty normal teen, with pretty normal teen troubles, and caring, involved parents working through it with him. I am so saddened that his name/reputation is being attacked so. We should all be outraged, and fearful for our children.[/quote]

It's mostly one aggressive poster who is rebroadcasting every sad thing he can find, because he has it in for a black kid.  Oh wait, this is not about race.  I mean a kid.  Truthification process.  Repeat something so often that it ends up on websites everywhere so that people assume it is true.  Here is how it stacks up:

Zimmerman:

Arrested for assaulting an officer
Court order for domestic abuse
Fired from a bouncer job for being scary aggressive
Carried a weapon on neighborhood watch (no-no)
Pursued Trayvon when encouraged by police not to
28 yrs old and jacked, based on the current video of him (that pudgy mug shot was from an old arrest)
Story has several holes:
(1) He claims Trayvon came after him after he went back to his car.  Trayvon was 120 feet from his home.  Why does someone flee nearly all the way home and then turn around?
(2) He claims Trayvon was in hiiding.  The place he was found has no hiding places
(3) Zimmerman's claim to be beat up is contradicted by the video of him at the police station
(4) Zimmerman's testimony was contradicted by what was heard by the girlfriend

Trayvon:
Walking home with skittles and tea
Unarmed
Likes baggy pants and sometimes wears gold fronts
Says stuff on twitter/fb, not actual criminal activity, just stuff that wingnuts pretend is "proof".
Has been suspended from school
No criminal record
Tall
Said he was walking away from his pursuer.
Was in fact walking toward his home.
