These People Never Met Each Other – Therein Lies The Misunderstanding of ViewershipPosted on September 16, 2012 by sundancecracker
George Zimmerman never met Trayvon Martin.George Zimmerman never met Trayvon Martin; at least not the Trayvon Martin the media has introduced people to.
George Zimmerman never met the 12-year-old pee-wee football player who was described by his teacher as “majoring in cheerfulness”.
That “child” was never in the life of George Zimmerman. The child yearning for Skittles and Iced Tea the media describes, was never present on the night of February 26th 2012. So who did George meet?
George Zimmerman met a six foot two inch, 160 lb, young man.
George met a 17-year-old troubled teenager who was missing any substantive adult in his life to understand him, engage with him, monitor him and deliver guidance to him. George met the outcome of two detached and divorced parents who choose to view their son, Trayvon, as a task. A task to be managed.
George met the legally dependent son of Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin.
George also met the step-son of Alicia Martin, whose husband, Tracy, Sybrina’s ex and Trayvon’s “dad”, was having a long-term affair with his now pregnant girlfriend Brandi Greene.
George met the son of a father whose chosen decision, while in a guardianship of his son because of a 10-day third time school suspension for drug possession, was to leave him unsupervised in the home of his girlfriend, and her 12-year-old son, Chad; while he and Brandi went to a downtown sportsbar for dinner.
Indeed, George Zimmerman met the 17-year-old outcome of unsupervised, undisciplined and unguided parenting.
....snip.....So, given this, given all of this, is it any wonder why the public are not able to reconcile the differences between what took place, and what the media is describing?
I mean, is it really surprising things seem disconnected when you converse with anyone about this case? Even the people being eloquently described in the media as relations have never actually met each other.
So how could anyone expect an unattached observing public to actually, honestly, and reasonably understand who the characters are, and how their behavior might not align with the truthful script.
It’s almost like a Trademarked Hollywood Movie Story or something.
