walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Jimbone]

There's a difference (to me) between going after someone and confronting someone. The former implies a chase type scenario, the latter is, well, the confrontation. Trayvon may well have gotten tired of being followed and turned around and "confronted" Z. Or Z might have confronted Trayvon.

I think we're on the same page with the confrontation part... and I see your point about Zimmerman staying in the car.

I still get hung up on the point that regardless of confrontation, Zimmerman ended up in a position where he had to defend himself. That's where it is going to get real sticky... because regardless of Zimmerman's actions up to that point, did he end up in a fight for his life?

That jury is fucked trying to sort it out.
