Everything I learned about the Zimmerman case from DU [View all]

Last edited Tue Jul 16, 2013, 09:18 AM - Edit history (5)

Trayvon Martin was a teenager, with a 3.7 gpa (15), who lived in Sanford (8), with his dad who rented a home there (8). He had already been accepted to college with a free ride scholarship (15) He went to the store during the halftime of the nba all star game (18), and bought iced tea (7). On his way back, George Zimmerman saw him and called 911, volunteering that Martin was black before being asked (6). Zimmerman went on to use the term ‘fucking coons’ when describing Martin (4). The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to get out of his truck (17)(23), but he did anyway. When he encountered Martin, he tackled him (16) and pushed him to the ground, ordering him to stay down (5). It wasn’t a fair fight, since he outweighed Martin by 100 lbs (16). He pulled out his gun, which had the safety ‘off’ (13), and shot Martin in the back (1). None of Zimmerman’s story is true, since there are no grass stains on Martin’s pants (10), and Martin’s body was found 20 feet away from the sidewalk (11). Any injuries that Zimmerman had were either self inflicted (2)(22), or caused by sprinkler heads (12)…or the recoil of his own gun (3). And they were fake since a video shows he had no injuries (9). And initially Zimmerman wasn’t prosecuted, since his dad was a retired judge in Sanford (14). After killing Martin, Zimmerman called his dad (21) and his dad called the police (24). The case would never go to trial, as resident experts predicted a plea bargain (25). And anyone who doubts this narrative is pathetic (19)(20).
