[Discussion] Trayvon Martin Intellectuals & Adults please read

[NoMoreLove]

So I just read all the "Facts" about the Trayvon Martin case that has been in the media for a little while. My personal background in law is that I have studied it for 3 years at a University level and I wanted to pose this conclusion to see if anyone on NB Agrees with me.

The facts I have gotten are from :

Now the argument that has been made against me is very plausible however I believe it to be WRONG. I have argued with my friends about it and here is his arguement:

"Trayvon Martin was a thug who was trying to make drugs and got shot in self defense for battery. Zimmerman following him wasn't against the law" This is true, according to the law.

Now in my defense of Trayvon I say this:

"In law we take into account what a reasonable human being would do in situations when it comes to breaking the law, is it reasonable or not. Zimmerman had made a call to a 911 dispatcher saying he was suspicious of Trayvon. Why would he be suspicious of a kid buying skittles and iced tea?.. My answer is racial profiling. The dispatcher said to him DO NOT FOLLOW.

Zimmerman deliberately disobeyed the dispatcher and went to confront Trayvon. This event provoked what happened afterwards. Trayvon and Zimmerman got into a physical altercation which resulted in Zimmerman shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. THIS IS MANSLAUGHTER. There was no intent to kill or premeditation which is why it is not murder.

RACIAL PROFILING IS ILLEGAL.

This happened in the heat of the moment and Zimmerman negligently acted upon his own free will to pursue and confront Trayvon Martin instead of waiting on the police. "

That is my argument. NB I trust you opinions please I would like to hear what you have to say.

First the dispatcher told him that they did not need him to follow Trayvon
Second Its his job as a neighborhood watch to profile people
Third the case wasn't about the entire incident but rather the fight itself

Well the dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that", which doesn't really mean DO NOT FOLLOW, but it could. Also, he's neighborhood watch, and I think that the neighborhood had break ins other times, so he could be looking out for people who look suspicious. However, he didn't really have a right shooting him, but since guns are now legal, ya know.

Exactly they were both in the wrong so it should be dropped. Moral of the story dont profile and dont act like a thug

 

[Fair Warning]

I didnt read all that, but I will say this. The justice system worked. And for some reason Obama doesnt realize that
