Zimmerman / Martin Shooting

[Kraftwerk]

Stop mentioning the age/size thing, you sound like an idiot.

-Trayvon Martin 5'11" 160 lbs, 17 years old
-George Zimmerman 5'8" 185lbs, 28 years old

I'm sorry but height stands out more than weight, and they were only 10 years apart. Hell in most countries you're pretty much full adult at 17. Also his 911 call he says "This guy looks like he's up to no good...", guy, not kid or boy. That was while he was still in his car.

Also the operator never says not to chase him, this is the verbatim line:

"Are you following him?"

"Yea"

"OK, we don't need you to do that."

If you are taking that to be a direct order not to follow than you are smoking crack. It is not a clear statement of no, but pretty ambiguous and easily misunderstood. If the operator said definitively "No do not follow him" instead of being vague like a retard maybe the whole thing wouldn't of happened, who knows.

You think 17 year olds are the same mentally as a 28 or whatever year old? Age makes a difference whether you like it or not.

A person's bigotry is no defense. A black guy in your neighbourhood doesn't mean he is up to no good. Was he breaking into a car? Was he robbing someone? IIRC he was walking down the street. Last I checked walking down the street and being black isn't a crime.
