Did Trayvon Martin really attack George Zimmerman?
So you are saying Martin is a mutant...a psychic? Somehow he had the power to read Zimmerman's mind and know that Zimmerman had a gun and that he suspected him. Let's reframe the scenario to the context of what he could actually know at the time. Martin knew he was in a strange neighborhood. Martin knew that he was doing suspicious things (wandering through yards, looking in windows) Martin see's an adult drive by, in a gated community, and start watching him suspiciously. At that point what did Martin know? All he knows is that he was just caught doing something wrong. Based on testimony from Martin's GF he also was angry and expressed strong racist sentiment about Zimmerman. Now what could he have done if he were afraid? He could have gone home. He could have called the police He could have called his Dad. He could have done any number of things. But he didn't do any of those things. Why? Because he wasn't afraid he was angry. And he did what an angry person does he attacked. This is supported by all the evidence. We know that he has bruising on his knuckles consistent with repeatedly punching something. We see the damage to Zimmerman's face and head. We have witness testimony stating that Martin was on top punching Zimmerman "MMA style". Other than the GSW and offensive injuries Martin has no injuries.
Why did George Zimmerman kill Trayvon Martin?
I agree, i'm so angry with this outcome, Trayvon was the one using SELF DEFENSE, Zimmerman came after HIM and then declares to using self defense, complete bull, Zimmerman caused it, he should of been given AT LEAST manslaughter, its a shame, this society is so corrupt, even the Casey Anthony trial, same thing...let off free. - TRAYVON attacked him because Zimmerman came after him, if some creep was following you and stalking you, your telling me you would let this guy come after you and being a young boy of course he's going to try and defend himself, trayvon was the on using self defense!!!! you people are idiotic, Zimmerman is a creep, there was no need to kill someone, if it really was self defense why not shoot him in the leg huh? that would of stopped him! why did he have to actually KILL another human being, trayvon deserved to LIVE and have life, so what if he smoked pot or wasn't a straight A student, that doesn't make it ok to kill someone, I believe he didn't want trayvon to be there to testify. sick world we live in.
Why did George Zimmerman chase Trayvon Martin?
No one has suggested that he chased Martin at all. It has been stated that he followed him to see what he was doing that is different than chasing someone. The reason he followed him is that there were recently burglaries in the neighborhood, the suspect matched Martin's description and Martin was observed walking through people's yards and peering in their windows.
Would you consider Zimmerman a 'hero' for killing Trayvon Martin?
EDIT:I like how the person who asked this question responds with fallacies to the answers, and then deletes everything when she gets exposed for her lies.Thanks for the RFA.A “hero” - no.He was “imprudent” for getting himself into a situation where he became the victim of an attack.He reacted properly to what could have become a deadly (for him) encounter.He was attacked by a physically larger more fit individual, pinned to the ground, and was being beaten in the face.He got lucky. He could have just as easily been knocked-out, gone into a coma and died.He was lucky. He’s no hero.

Is George Zimmerman guilty for following Trayvon Martin?
!. There was no solid evidence that support Zimmerman was attacked by Trayvon first. One witness claimed to see Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman at one point. This still don't prove that Trayvon was attacking him. What about he just gained the chance keeping Zimmerman under control?! 2. Zimmerman was not a police officer. Period. He has no professional training, nor the psychological ability to profile anyone. He was only a volunteer neighborhood watch. His job was to monitor the neighborhood and report suspicious activity to the police. I don't believe anyone in their right mind would ask their volunteer watch person to risk his own life to follow/ take down any suspicious criminal. Zimmerman was determine to find his "suspect" that night. Like a hunter, he was out looking for his prey with a loaded gun. He left his safe zone (his car), following the "suspect" with a loaded gun. Don't forget he had previously reported to the police department several times that he found suspicious BLACK MALE in the neighborhood. The irony is that Zimmerman himself has half minority bloodline. If in the unfortunate case, Zimmerman walk away with not guilty, I wish him to live in towns that hate Mexican. He will then get a taste of being treated as lower class citizen. If he find guilty and send to jail, I wish his future BLACK inmates will "show" him how to live with them in the years to come. Most likely, the lessons will be introduced via his rear glory. 3. Again, the claim of self defense is still up for debate. His superficial injury could easily be the result of scuffling with Trayvon, or self inflicted to put the blame on the dead kid. Seriously, I worked in hospitals and never seen a serious open/ close head injury can be released with a BAND-AID on the same day. Your question seem kind of odd. Are you thinking about stalking someone?
Baskebtall section: How tall were/are Trayvon Martin and Zimmerman?
I know Trayvon Martins is like 6'1 football player. I'm thinking Zimmerman is shorter i dunno. EDIT: But, a gun beats height anyday. DAMN, 6'3 and only 140? He's really skinny for his height. Zimmerman can jump on that boy and kill hm.
Why did Trayvon double back?
A question that no one seems to want to address is, why did Trayvon Martin double back? Based on the time line information made available today, it appears that had Trayvon continued walking home he would have avoided the confrontation with Zimmerman, so ask yourself, why did Trayvon double back and attack Zimmerman? Did Trayvon have good intentions when he struck Zimmerman and when Trayvon was bashing Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk what were his intentions, what were the thoughts running through his mind during this time frame? I guess we'll never know, but what are your thoughts?
How did George Zimmerman get acquitted for the charges of Trayvon Martin's death?
I watched the trial.The whole trial.If you watched it, a better question would be “How did George Zimmerman get charged with Trayvon Martin's death?”The local DA reviewed the evidence and wanted nothing to do with the case. He knew trying Zimmermann was a losing proposition. The governor brought in a special prosecutor for that purpose.The entire trial was televised from end to end to ensure that there was no secret negotiations or hidden deals. No network carried it. No network reported the trial in depth during the actual proceedings despite painting Zimmermann as a cold blooded killer and Martin as a young and innocent child.What happened in the trial?Martin's girlfriend came off as a liar who changed her story to fit whoever she was talking to.The fact that Martin was a LOT bigger than Zimmerman became an issue.The prosecutor's star witness, a resident in the neighborhood wound up being the best possible witness the defense could ask for, basically placing Martin on top of Zimmerman.Ballistic evidence backed this up.So did stains on Zimmerman, the medical evidence, and the photographs.The prosecutor had such a weak case that they did something rather unusual; they attempted to tack on a child abuse charge at the end of the trial, knowing that their murder charge wasn't going to stick. The jury found Zimmerman not guilty, all the hype that the media made about stand-your-ground amounted to nothing. The rest is history.
