or Option 5) Apperson is a nut who is paranoid and has already come to the police's attention for threatening to kill someone he thought was following him (and yet remarkably was still allowed to own guns.) He gets in an altercation with Zimmerman, and then seeing him in the same area fixates on him as a new "Stalker" then seeing him again decides his stalker is back, and confronts him. Zimmerman calls him a clown and drives off, fuelling Apperson's rage causing him to give chase lights flashing. Zimmerman decides to get away and U-Turns causing more anger in Apperson who decides to remove his stalker, follows the U-Turn, drives up beside him, and *bang*.
Nah couldn't be that, because then it would be Zimmerman's fault at all, like the police think (since they are charging with assault with no provocation.) Has to be his fault for doing something. Perhaps he should have gotten out of the car talk to Apperson calmly and ask him why he was following them, then proceeded to beat on the guy if he dared to go for his phone or touch his arm, then it wouldn't have been his fault at all.
All joking aside, this is an excellent point.
RE the highlighted (by me): The "still has guns" thing would be a great topic for another thread.
And "Zimmerman driving off" strikes me as a bit odd. Zimmerman apparenty loves him some confrontation. *Him retreating just doesn't seem like his normal behavior.
And I'd like to clarify something. Me enjoying the day Zimmerman should be killed for his behavior has nothing to do with Trayvon Martin. That case is over and done, and I feel Zimmerman shoud have held
at least some culpability in the event. But again, that's over. I respect or legal system and accept the trial's findings, even though I disagree with the outcome.
My seething contempt for George Zimmerman stems from two personal events. One, he is a bully, and I was bullied a lot as a kid. Today, at 6'1", 280 lbs and former US Army this is no longer an issue, but I despise bullies like him. Like most bullies, he folds like origami when confronted by someone who actually has the means and desire to visit his actions back on him (his boxing match idea is an example). *Heck, maybe even this event with him retreating is another example.
Two, he is a domestic abuser (we won't split the hairs of physical vs. emotional vs mental type), and I witnessed my mother (and myself) stuck in an abusive relationship with one of her boyfriends for many years when I was younger (they are very hard to get out of, especially in the late 70s/early 80s). And like most domestic abusers,
nothing is ever his fault. It's always
someone else "making" him react the way he does. His patterns of behavior are predictable and pathetic.
So, the day George Zimmerman stops wasting oxygen will be a great day. He opitimizes, to me at least, the type of individual that thrives on manipulating and harming others. The Travon Martin event is a result of Zimmerman's attitude. It's a matter of time before someone else, rightly or wrongly, is hurt or killed by his stupidity. I
really hope it's not some innocent bystander who finds themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
All the above is JMHO.
