[quote=Anonymous][quote]It seems so absurd to me that Zimmerman apologists are making the argument it's him. Why would the person with THE GUN need to be yelling "no" and "help"? [b]Why would Zimmerman, who is alive, be the one that stopped yelling no and help immediately following the gunshot and not Trayvon, the one who is actually dead? That entire argument makes no sense. The person yelling no and help sounds terrified and desperate, not somebody wielding a gun and thus, the upper hand and control of the situation. Total bullshit.[/b] [/quote]

For starters, your characterization of anyone who doesn't agree with you as a Zimmerman apologist is pretty offensive, and just wrong.

Second, I believe there's an eyewitness who gave a statement to the police that Zimmerman was the one yelling.

Finally, with respect to the bolded section above, Z's weapon was holstered, an altercation starts, T starts kicking the crap out of Z (which is supported by the eyewitness's testimony), Z, getting his ass kicked, yells for help, draws his weapon, shoots, and then stops yelling because he's no longer getting his ass kicked.
Now, I have no idea whether that happened (although it does comport with the only eyewitness testimony that is out there, to my knowledge).  But more importantly, neither do you.  Which is why your statement that it's "total bullshit" and your attempt to cast everyone who isn't ready to convict Z without learnign more facts as a Zimmerman apologist is so misplaced, and so detrimental to having a dispassionate discussion about this case.  Use your head for something other than holding up your hat, and you'll come to the unfortunate conclusion that, based on the evidence reported thus far, this is far from a clear-cut case.
