I'll also add 1.Zimmerman was told by the 911 operator not to pursue Martin-Zimmerman still pursued Martin 2.Zimmerman had a canceled weapon permit.In canceled weapon permit classes the instructors drill it into your head that the cw permit is not a license to play cop and you are to do everything possible to avoid altercations.-Zimmerman did the complete opposite 3.Neighborhood watch policy is no guns-Again complete disregard by Zimmerman http://articles.nydailynews.com/201...bert-zimmerman-gated-community-security-guard Zimmerman 'nuts' when he 'snapped' George Zimmerman was fired from his job as an under-the-table security guard for âbeing too aggressive,â a former co-worker told the Daily News. Zimmerman, at the center of a firestorm for shooting an unarmed black teenager a month ago, worked for two different agencies providing security to illegal house parties between 2001 and 2005, the former co-worker said.
Assaulting an officer and a women is much worse then Martin possibly smoking pot.Smoking pot would also make Martin less likely to be violent.
lil trey just picked the wrong person to scrap with that's all. Youth are dumb and arrogant, sometimes that doesn't work out so good. http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/03/26/2714778/thousands-expected-at-trayvon.html
a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area âhiding and being suspicious.â ------------------- Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, called 911 and told a police dispatcher that Martin, who was returning from a trip to a nearby convenience store, âlooked suspicious.â Funny how that works.
After Zimmerman shot Martin his suspicions proved to be false.Martin had a reason to be in the neighborhood,nothing illegal was found on him Being labeled suspicious is nothing unusual for young black males
IMO, too much emphasis is put on race in this. What you have is a teen who is physically a man, or nearly so, and likely hot-headed and rebellious against authority figures (the school suspensions). At 17, many teens are emotionally immature and exhibit low levels of control and discipline. Maybe it's hormones. Maybe it's just "I'm a man now!" attitudes. I don't doubt that Martin acted emotionally immature during the confrontation. The problem was there needed to be at least one level-headed adult present making good decisions, and so far I don't see evidence that it was Zimmerman.
Zimmerman has a conviction for assaulting a law enforcement officer,ignored 911 operators when they they told him not to pursue Martin and ignored the rules thought in concealed weapon permit classes .Zimmerman seems to be the rebellious one against authority figures imo
