Now I realize that many of them are reprinting biased AP drivel , but look at the cover stories on the Post/Daily news websites reacting to the verdict. It’s starting to feel like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

I didn’t understand Martin’s moves until it became crystal clear that he’d just been talking to his gal.

THAT’S what motivated the confrontation: He felt compelled to take direct actions completely opposite to what he’d been doing… which was escape and evade. He’d actually broken contact.

He realized, too late, that by calling her he had put himself in a position to be disrespected — by HER.

His acts were not to impress her — they were to intended to retain her respect. That was his motivation — and why he was psychologically cornered. Hoist on his own braggartry, he was.

If the eyewitness had rendered prompt physical support, Martin would still be alive. Instead, he held off and dialed 911, — even though he was informed the cops had long been called.

The good point is that guns in the hand of gang bangers can be made to lose tracking due to zig zag or evasive maneuvers. Since gang baners can shoot a full round of clip at people 9 feet away, and only hit bystanders around the target. That’s how gang bangers were trained to shoot.

Most of us who have been teenage boys and young men can put ourselves in Martin’s place and come out with a very different course of action. Mitsu is the exception.

Mitsu’s hypothetical only works if Martin and Zimmerman never broke contact, ie, if Zimmerman did not lose sight of Martin and chased him on foot.

But that’s not how it happened. It’s established that Zimmerman lost contact with Martin. At the point he exited his truck, he thought Martin was gone. There was no following, no pursuit.

Then Martin ambushed Zimmerman.

Mitsu is trying really hard and taking wide liberties to establish that Zimmerman provoked Martin and Martin’s actions were justified.

However, you haven’t acknowledged the possibility that Martin himself may have felt threatened by what appeared to him to be Zimmerman’s threatening behavior. Again, imagine the situation reversed in racial terms: suppose you’re a white teenager coming back from buying a pack of Skittles from a convenience store, walking through a housing complex where you were legally staying, and some black guy is following you in a truck, slowly, and then he gets out of the truck? What would you do? Do you think Martin might have felt he was defending himself against a potential threat?

About this…

I have been in an almost IDENTICAL scenario to your “hypothetical”. I am a white male, at the time, aged 27 (so very much still in the prime of my life/youth), and found myself at 63rd St South and Cicero in South Chicago. Now, I have been in some SHIT neighborhoods in my life, and one thing I have almost invariably found is that regardless of race, creed, color, etc, if you traverse in these areas, and you hold yourself upright, like you belong there, look people in the eye, and treat them as human beings, almost invariably, you will be treated the same in kind. At least to some degree.

But back to the story… I don’t know how familiar you are with South Chicago, but trust me. Once you get south of Hyde Park (~55th St South) by the lake, and even further up (~46th St South out by Midway/Cicero), the neighborhood changes drastically. Disrepair, needles on the ground, etc. It’s a shit area.

I found myself leaving a party one night, too late to catch the Orange Line out of Midway back to my residence (Evanston, just north of Chicago proper) via transfer to the Red Line in the city . I worked in the area (pretty industrial) so I knew it pretty well and knew that the Red Line and Green Line both have connections that far south closer to the lake, so I started walking. For the most part, no harm, no foul. I got some pretty strange looks, and had some brief conversations with the people I met along the way (largely black, not that I really gave a damn…). But the Red Line was quite literally miles away, and I was making that hike from ~3am -> 6am after finally catching a bus to take me the last part of the journey to the Red Line.

About halfway through my trek, a painted up, chromed out car (I believe a Caddy, but I’m not positive) rolled by me, slowed down, the window came down, and I heard from the car “Hey white boy, come over here a minute.”

I ignored it largely, and kept walking, and he eventually just drove on (after following me for a short while)… However, my mind was racing at that point, because I felt threatened. Not many street lights, a car that was the picture perfect stereotype for a dealer’s/gangsta’s car, and in an area of Chicago where shootings and murders happen on an almost daily basis.

And here’s my thought process and what I did… I grabbed my phone in my pocket, and preemptively dialed 911, ready to push “call” in case I needed it. That was #1. I didn’t call my girlfriend at the time or anything like that. My thought was for my personal safety, and as such, I began taking steps to maximize MY survival.

But that’s not all. I knew that having to make the call wouldn’t be much of a help… At BEST, it would be 5-10 minutes before the police could show up to help, and at that time, any action that might have happened would have already happened, and the cops, true to form, would be there to clean up the mess.

So I began taking note of my surroundings… Which fences were open/jumpable. Which directions I could go to lose a car on foot. IE – How I might ESCAPE.

Had it somehow happened that I had been backed into a corner, yeah… I would have tried to fight. But prior to that, I was perfectly legal in being where I was, but I was looking to AVOID confrontation with an unknown. I don’t know, to this day, who was in that car… Or what their intentions were… But I do know that my own personal reaction seems to have been 180° different from Trayvon Martin’s. He was gone. He had a clear path home. Had he felt “threatened”, to me, it stands far more to reason that his thoughts would have been, “How the hell do I get out of this?”

If you are truly threatened, it is usually the natural instinct to get OUT of the threatening situation. This is not what Martin did. He doubled back and initiated a confrontation. And beyond that… It sounds to me like he struck out in anger. Anger that someone else dared follow him. The last part is purely speculation on my part, and only 2 people will ever truly know what happened (Martin being one of them), but based on the evidence and personal experience, the idea that he acted the way he did because he felt “threatened” feels far fetched. Maybe it’s me, my upbringing, or whatever, but I’m sorry… If you throw the first punch, you’re the aggressor.

And if you have a clean avenue of escape when you feel truly threatened, you take it. The simple fact that Martin didn’t do that implies to me, by logic and my own personal experience, that he didn’t feel threatened, he was angry, and initiated a confrontation.

Do that with an unknown like he did in this case, and you are asking for trouble.

I’ve been a teenager too, and I’ve felt invincible before… But I’ll tell you what. That night, walking down 63rd St South in Chicago taught me a few things about fear and self preservation that I had never had to consider before.

You say that Neo should reverse the situation, and contemplate that? Well, I counter with my little story and outcome. I count myself blessed that the person driving that car didn’t get out to confront me. I wasn’t armed, and my thoughts based on the stereotypes led me to believe the person in the car very well may have been. I feel blessed that I didn’t HAVE to confront the man in that car… Trayvon Martin had the same options I had that night. He had a clean avenue of escape, based on almost all the evidence presented in court, and he chose not to take it, but rather to lash out against an unknown quantity.

Had I done the same thing on my walk, I give myself even odds that I’m not sitting here typing this.

They’ve taken off their masks, bared their teeth, and shown their hands on Zimmerman. By attacking, they have exposed themselves to attack.

This isn’t like the NSA wiretapping controversy that has a basis in a legitimate national security interest and only a potential source of abuse. The Zimmerman case is a naked attack on, as Geoffrey Britain termed it, American cultural and institutional infrastructure. A direct assault on the American middle class.

This is a golden opportunity for civil libertarians to rally the middle class and counter Obama’s America.

Those who want their family, their loved ones, to taste the fear and terror that Zimmerman and many other victims of the Left has tasted, step right up here and volunteer.

All you have to do is to pretend you have seen no evil, spoke no evil, and heard no evil. Just sit down, shut up, and allow the Left to do as they please. No words, no actions, no thoughts that would be considered bitterly clinging to your resistance.

Step right up here. Once in a life time opportunity, ladies and gentlemen.
