1. K, then what was this:

17 year olds are no little angels, but a demographic most likely to commit murder. whether they use guns or pavement doesn't make much of a difference for the dead or brain–damaged victim

Sounds a lot like you are marshalling evidence that just being 17 makes you "suspicious" (which is a ridiculous thing to state).

2. Medical examiner testified that Zimmerman's head injuries were "insignificant", not "life threatening"

Here is the article: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/medical-examiner-testifies-zimmer.../

3. If someone is following you and approached you with a gun at night... then that is terrifying. What are you supposed to do? We don't know whether Zimmerman first attacked Trayvon or the reverse. We don't know that. You don't know that. So shut up about who started it. All we know is that Zimmerman was the instigator in that Zimmerman approached Trayvon and Zimmerman had the gun; not the reverse. Your assertion that Trayvon started the fight without evidence is your inherent bias. And if you don't drop that bias I have no choice but to conclude that you are a racist because you wouldn't be giving the same benefit of the doubt to a black man with a gun approaching a white boy.

We don't know what happened in the altercation at all. Zimmerman asserts that Martin didn't know about the gun until he was on the ground - but that is what Zimmerman tells us, and we already know that A) his story is inconsistent, B) he comes from a racist family, C) he was power hungry and didn't listen the 911 operator to back the fuck off.

AND FINALLY ONE MORE TIME: STOP SAYING TRAYVON INITIATED VIOLENCE. STOP IT. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT A BOY WHO IS DEAD.

Moron.

EDIT:

I'll state again. This article went over your head. The fact that you are even using this discussion platform to make the points you are is evidence enough that you didn't get it at all. This article was about the cause of our unjust systems in former settler colonies and the cultural prejudices that developed over the past 500 years. Educate yourself.
