Well actually take a look at the facts that I posted - break them down one by one to see that you are putting words in my mouth. I said this:
"a 27 year old man armed with a Kel-Tec PF9" - FACT
"pursued a 17 year old boy" - FACT
"until the situation escalated into a fight" - FACT (and note that I did not insinuate that Martin was in anyway innocent in that regard nor did I say the he didn't hit Zimmerman from behind. All the other mitigating circumstances aside - this last statement is a summary of the events that occurred.)
"and he ended up getting his ass whipped" - FACT (the photos of Zimmerman's injuries confirm that)
"and ended up having to shoot the kid to save his own damn life." - FACT (and the primary argument behind Zimmerman's legal defense strategy of affirmative self-defense - which got him acquitted.)
I never said that Martin was just an innocent 17 year-old kid, just that he was a dead 17 year-old kid. And I never said that Zimmerman was justified, I don't think he was, I think his stupidity pushed him into a corner that he could only get out of by employing deadly force and as such, he should have been convicted of the manslaughter charge. That is just my opinion though, I am not a lawyer (though I did stay an a Holiday Inn Express the night before I beat my red-light camera ticket!) and I don't know all the details the jury did and the statutes to which their judgement was bound, so I will not pretend that my opinion should be the ultimate authority on the matter and that is all I will say about it.
Besides all that, that is not what this whole thread is about anyway, it is about the mindless and sheep-like perpetuation of manipulated images and facts that amount to no more than the propaganda of a certain agenda. The original poster didn't make that image himself, somebody posted in on social media or sent it to him in e-mail and he just re-posted it, assuming it was true and correct information because he wanted to believe it was. Sorry, but I think that is less than intelligent.
HOOK 'EM!
