And according to Zimmerman's lawyer, he did stop following him when instructed by the civilian dispatcher, went back to his vehicle but returned to the block only when the dispatcher asked him for the address and that is where & when the fight & shooting occurred. Why isn't that being widely reported? It was reported by the ex-lawyers. There is are news reports out there now on Google of a black man not being arrested for killing a Hispanic man - the dead man possibly being mentally impaired - and he was unarmed too. That shooter took the law in his own hands. I wonder if CNN and all the news networks, political leaders and D.C. will get involved in that case? I wonder if that armed shooter will become the second most hated man in America. |
I do even understand why you say, "How's that so much worse?" Am I saying one is worse? I'm saying that they have nothing in common. I find it interesting that you are ready to believe Zimmerman's lawyer and not Trayvon's girlfriend. All these points will be brought up at the trial, but this is about "probable cause", not if he's guilty or not. The question right now is "Is there enough information to arrest him for murder?" You want to answer "Yeah, but Zimmerman had a cut on his head, therefore, Trayvon attacked him, and it was self-defense.” All you have to ask yourself is do you think there is enough information to arrest the man. Many of us think there is enough evidence to arrest the man. I don’t think you should worry about who’s the most “hated man in America or the second”. Newscasters use terms like this to get ratings. Zimmerman will have his day in court. Really, if you are comparing these two cases, you really sound very prejudiced. Why should the second case get all that attention, the guy has been arrested, so why do you think people should get involved in the case, do you see some injustice being done? The Zimmerman case is getting national attention because the police let him go and Zimmerman admitted killing Trayvon. Has Tyrone admitted killing anyone? Have the police let him go? If Tyrone admits it and the police let him go, you can bet your yorkie that there will be riots in the streets and it will get national attention.
