Re: Zimmerman shooting not a hate crime

keith zimmerman didn't know about any jewelry. law enforcement 911 advised him to cease and desist. if i had a gun and some teenager didn't i feel i could back him down without killing him. but i'm older than zimmerman and hopefully wiser i would have let the cops do their job and observed and informed.

I'm not sure how John came to the conclusions that he has come to.   There is nothing as of yet on the record that establishes such a scenario, and all of Armistead's "theories"  are just that,  "speculative theory".
 
What we do know, is that Trayvon Martin was a young black male, dressed in dark, non-descript clothing, (save for the dark "Hoodie" that he was sporting) and at the time that he was shot, was found with jewelry that was not his; in a neighborhood which had been having frequent home invasions/burglaries.
 
We know that law enforcement looked at this case for a month,  and could not come up with any conclusive evidence that this was in fact anything more than a tragic scenario but nevertheless, a tragic scenario that was self defense.  We then had numerous race baiters flock to the scene in Central Florida,  their sole purpose was to stir up trouble, and "race bait".  We have seen mainstream media even attempt to modify the actual recordings of Zimmerman, and portray Martin as some sweet cherub teenager who was non-threatening, when in fact,  Mr. Martin was a thug who had been suspended from his school for drugs; whose moniker was "No_Limit_Nigga"  on Twitter;  who had unaccountable jewelry on his person at the time of the incident. 
 
On the other hand,  contrary to the media hype,  Mr. Zimmerman is far from "White";  Mr Zimmerman and his wife tutored underprivileged black youths at their home;  and there is nothing whatsoever to date that would suggest that Mr. Zimmerman shot this man because he is a racist, or under the scenario that John Armistead has surmised and attempted to portray.
 
I think a more likely scenario, is that after being told not to pursue Martin by law enforcement,  Martin circled around,  and confronted Zimmerman.   Martin asked him,  "Are you followimg me?"  and when Zimmerman replied, "No",  Martin said something to the effect of,  "Well you got me now", when Martin attacked him, and they tumbled to the ground.

The race card does NOT fly when you need it to, does it?

Poor Martin was shot after he elevated a tense VERBAL confrontation
into a physical one..Why would any reasonable person do this??.... if
I were 5'7" and weighed in at a chubby 190 and was attacked physically
by a 6'1" physically fit individual I would fear for my well being
just as Zimmerman did... thus a legal shooting.
