@Advocate,
Quote:The TM folks tells us that he was a fine person and student. But please see:...
And you think Zimmerman was a fine upstanding citizen, but let's see...
Zimmerman was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer, and court-ordered to take anger management classes to avoid a trial, and his ex-fiancée obtained a retraining order against him for domestic violence, and he got fired from a part time job providing security at private parties because he was "too aggressive". --and he wasn't a barely 17 year old kid at the time--these were his adult behaviors. And these aren't rumors, or lies.
Let's not also forget that a police force turned him down as an unsuitable applicant.
And the police investigation concluded that Trayvon Martin had done nothing wrong or "suspicious" when George Zimmerman spotted him, erroneously judged him, and began stalking him...It was Zimmerman, and only Zimmerman, who instigated and provoked the encounter that led to a needless and totally avoidable death.
Trayvon Martin was on his way back to the residence he was staying at, looking forward to watching a basketball game on TV, when George Zimmerman, with impaired judgment, decided he was "a suspect", and with even poorer judgment, and impulse control, began stalking the kid in the dark..
If George Zimmerman had remained in his car, or, probably, if he had even identified himself, there would have been no confrontation, and no one would have gotten hurt...Zimmerman brought about the entire encounter...and he caused a needless, avoidable, tragic death.
And since Zimmerman chalks it all up, not to his behavior, and poor judgment, but rather to "God's plan," it's entirely possible, given his lack of insight, that he will act that recklessly again, and he'll cause another needless death.
And he has had repeated run-ins with the police since his acquittal.
It's only a matter of time until his next one...
