RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events 17 year old Trayvon Martin shot by Neighborhood watch guy Zimmerman

I pay more attention to what his injuries and the eye witness say than what Zimmerman said. There's value to it of course, but it's peripheral.



In which case, the author automatically assumes he's lying because he actually has the gall to ignore the idea that he was defending himself in favor of making the idea that an unarmed individual being gunned down is inherently unjust. So cops shouldn't fire on unarmed criminals that try to attack them? Why are they even issued firearms?



You argue against what you claim is an assumption with another assumption.

And, quite frankly, I don't believe that most parties (you included) would risk a gun shot if they thought being still would keep someone from firing on them. That would lead me to believe that Martin didn't know he had a gun as he beat him into the ground until Zimmerman managed to pull it out and shoot.

But really, why bother calling 911 if he was just going to gun him down? Why not shoot him immediately? You've yet to address this.
