Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

[Geosurface]

how does a "violent thug" walk through a neighborhood ?

How do you spot them ? Do they limp or something ?

Profiling isn't an exact science, but everyone can pick up on differences in how a thug carries themselves, walks, looks around, dresses, body language... etc etc vs. a non-thug.

You can act like this is a ridiculous concept, and of course you can misdiagnose non-thugs as thugs and thugs as non-thugs sometimes, but to act like there's nothing to it at all is absurd...

police do it, anyone who values their life in certain cities or areas does it.

Also...why don't they distribute a more recent picture of TM as opposed to the 12 year old one?

In the forum where the "generosity" occurred it belongs to the judge.

So you're saying that if MOM walked into court today and said "What the hell, here's the whole thing + a signed release." the fact that the Judge ruled against compelled disclosure would keep the prosecution from having the file?

Those bottom ones aren't Trayvon, but these are:

In the picture where is doing the double middle finger and the bottom right, are those "grillz" on his teeth?

Yea, they are.

Although they must be the removable type. Might've just been some cheapo things.

Still, the fact that he'd show them off says something about the sort of culture he embraced, IMO. The sort of person he aspired to be (a thug.)

If the guy was 6' 3" how would anyone think "he is just a boy"?

He's not really 6'3". The coroner lists his height as 5'11". Geo and others on George's side, just won't accept his actual height since his hero Zimmerman is only 2" shorter and 6'3" sounds much scarier than 5'11".

Squabbling over 3 inches doesn't invalidate his point.

Funny his family stated he was 6'3", so were they mistaken?

4" , but who's counting?

Guess so. I'd trust a tape measure over what someone thinks.

 

[OCNewbie]

I don't believe Trayvon was 6' 3", barefoot anyway, fwiw. I believe he was probably closer to 6', on bare feet (which last I checked is what counts). I wouldn't be surprised if he told people he was 6' 3", however.

 

[Geosurface]

He sure looks 6'3" to me.

Could it be 6'2" or 6'1"? Possible. Could it be 5'11"? No.

Is it safe to say he was one tall motherfucker regardless of the exact figure? Yes.

So then you agree that Martin had the body of a man, not a boy correct?

That's my takeaway from you twice squabbling over the number of inches on the ruler vs the larger point that you wouldnt look at Martin at night and see a child.

 

[spidey07]

Just checking in to see if any plausible scenarios could be not self defense.

Any? Anything?

Nope.

I had a kid in my class who was 6'2" @ 12 years old. He was no man. He was just a big child.

GZ had a gun...great equalizer against 2" in height difference.

Good thing GZ had that equalizer as we all know it only takes one lucky punch to the throat or temple to kill a person or cause severe brain damage.

Just stop with the BULLSHIT. The chances of someone dying from one punch is about equal to or greater than being struck with lightening, damn ******. And the odd thing is the killer started the confrontation. All you gotta do is just wait for the results of the Dooley case, that will give a lot of insight.

Tell this boy's family it's bullshit, one punch thrown/landed in the temple equals death.

I haven't seen any evidence that shows that GZ started the confrontation.

Yea and how many people are punched everyday in the country, such a bullshit argument. But you and few others continue to reach for the damn extremes. No evidence huh, how did his ass end up in a confrontation with Martin? Thats right he followed him.

Zimmerman in his own recorded words says " black male, late teens", so what are you squabbling about?

Why did TM come back after he lost GZ? Seems like TM was the one to start the confrontation.

Prosecution has said under oath there is no evidence zimmerman followed martin. Nor any evidence zimmerman initiated the confrontation, in fact deedee's testimony shows martin started the confrontation.

Last I checked late teens would be considered a man and not a boy/kid.
