The fact is, when this story first broke everyone was absolutely jeering at Zimmerman like:
"Oh my god how can this racist piece of shit possibly claim this angelic 12 year old boy I'm seeing pictures of looked like he was on drugs? Preposterous! Or that he was looking suspicious? My ass! Suspicious here meaning 'black' no doubt! Lynch this piece of shit! He just ASSUMED this kid was a criminal and a burglar and a druggie because he's black!!! And he shot him for no reason, there was definitely no physical struggle!"
Since that time, the following have happened:
- We've found out Zimmerman did have injuries. ( you mean nicks. He was not injured and refused care immediaty after and still has produced nothing stating he was 'injured')
- We've learned that there definitely was a physical struggle. (Of course because Tray screamed.)
- We've learned that Trayvon did use and sell drugs. (Where is the link to the proof?)
- We've learned that Trayvon enjoyed not only the fairly tame weed, but also the fairly serious "lean"(proof and relevance)
- We've learned that Trayvon was chronically in trouble at school, and had indeed had to switch high schools once. He was already on his third suspension at his new high school.
- We've learned that Trayvon vandalized his new school, and when caught for it they found stolen jewelry and a burglary tool in his backpack.
- We've learned that Trayvon was not a 12 year old angel but a towering, massive 17 year old as seen in the 7-11 video
- Even in that brief video, the only one we'll probably ever have of Trayvon, in this little tiny snippet of his life we got to see, we see him attempt to break the law, and then in fact break it. He asks to buy tobacco products, and is rebuffed. Then he waits outside and pays slightly older dipshits to buy them for him. Circumventing, and breaking that law.
So I guess what I'm getting at is, every bit of information that has surfaced whether it be injury photos, doctor's report, EMT testimony, you name it... since that night, has piled more and more and more credibility onto what was initially a completely scoffed at account from GZ.
It shouldn't be surprising to you, at all, to learn that the other ways in which you remain skeptical of his story (that the kid was looking at houses suspiciously) are also true and counter to everyone's initial gut skepticism. That would be following a well established trend at this point.
GZ's initial core claim was that this kid looked like a burglar, up to no good, and on drugs. We've since learned he WAS a burglar, WAS a drug user, WAS constantly up to no good at least at school, and just fucking imagine how much more there is hiding in his sealed school records, how much is hiding behind him being a minor and what that implies for his criminal records and our ability to ever see them... how much is hiding behind the wall of silence all his friends would maintain, and certainly his family would maintain?
What was in that backpack all the other days they didn't have a direct reason to search it?
