I was a professional musician - out most mornings, sometimes 6 days a week at 3:00 AM trying to get home.
When a Cop's daughter was raped and killed around the area where I worked on a very very long winding exit ramp (where some areas could not
be seen from either the top nor bottom,) I decided to get a gun. After all, she was a star athlete, young, a college girl, AND daughter of a Cop?
Turned out he was a real killing machine. SHE was not his first!! Stalked them.
So - I did everything I had to do to legally carry a gun. NRA trained me. We get training like Cops get.
They also told me to get a 357 magnum - big one. I asked why - had to carry it in my purse, and it was heavy? They explained:
"To protect yourself - you have to sit there till he either breaks a window of your SUV, or tries to break the lock! It could be only a kind person trying to help you, or an off duty Cop, or an off duty Fireman, anybody!! YOU could KILL them!!! So you have to wait till they do something -
and have a big gun then - - to stop them! A little Beretta won't!!" They were teaching me, I think, to be a prudent, responsible gun owner.
I felt somehow early on the Zimmerman's are liars. Now we know they are. Trayvon doubled back? WHERE did that come form? George Zimmerman? Oh - so that makes it so? I want to see the physical evidence. I wonder too if they were ever fighting on the cement? Z had grass stains on the back of his shirt. BUT cement sounds more dangerous and makes a better self defense case I guess.
I heard on the show I.D. that it can't be self defense if only the ONE has a gun.
Truly I want a trial to happen. We need forensics and evidence since Zimmerman's side are all lying. Defendant's most always lie to save their necks... their family/friends too!
Never will I understand why Z. didn't take advantage of all the help PROS would give him, IF he had a Registered Neighborhood Watch Group.
Some don't like to have to answer to anybody, or to be told what to do. Maybe he needed some of those reinforcement meetings? I think so. AND TOO, they said they have great exposure and attract many more members if Registered. Z. didn't want a large group? WHAT did he have a group of 2? He and his vocal friend?
Yes, IF IF IF IF. Not a far stretch to stay in his vehicle. He was TOLD TO. THAT I feel is the bottom line of all of this. Registered NWG's tell them don't carry a gun. Why didn't he then** IF ON DUTY** leave his gun in the vehicle? Gave that little man power I think. Misguided power.
DON'T CONFRONT - NWG's also say. SO WHY DID HE?
He orchestrated, directed, initiated this whole thing. HE is supposed to be the PRO. The blame I feel, lies solely on him. I DO believe in IF'S and "looking back - and the "what if's", and I think the trial will too. What else will a trial do? WHAT would have happened if he acted sensible and prudent? Both would be alive today? Won't acting like a prudent man enter into this mix during a trial? Like what WERE his alternatives?? They surely will be examined, won't they? Getting out of his vehicle and following T. wasn't Z.'s ONLY OPTION... and I believe it went against all past experience/data that the pros have.
WHO knows if he identified himself? Trayvon's friend said early on - at the start (excited utterances? - legal term) Z said something like "What are you doing here?"
Cops and Registered Neighborhood Watch Groups are taught to calm things down, and deescalate thing. George would have been trained and had reinforcement meetings had he gone to Reg. NWG's meetings. Another one of his mistakes.
WE NEED a trial because they DO lie. The people I feel should know the forensics and evidence because the way this started - no charges - and that turned this case really really UGLY!!! IF he were my kid, I would want to know forensics and evidence, NOT the self serving statements of the defendant. They always lie. We saw some real pros, the Anthony's and their lawyers.
Please Z. defenders, do not be angry. I am not angry at you ... just stating how I think/feel.
