A Case of Cold Blooded Murder
Irrespective of any issues of black or white, or any other
irrelevant ways the truth may be shaded, or divided, Zimmerman’s slaying of
that youth Trayvon Martin was cold blooded murder pure and simple.
Accordingly
the ongoing trial of Zimmerman for second degree felony is nothing but a farce,
an exercise in futility being acted out to assuage public outcry and anger.
True I was
not there. I am not an eye witness to
the crime; but surveying the known facts, it does not take a rocket scientist
to figure out what happened on that fatal day.
There was a
young boy going about his business and not interfering with anyone. Whether he had previously taken drugs, a
school dropout or otherwise, none of those things has anything to do with the
fact that he was murdered.
There on
the other hand was a grown man with a gun.
He took offence to the fact of the very presence of this young man in
his neighborhood. He decided to chase
him out or kill him. He approaches the young man gun in hand. The young man begins to run. “Stop,” he shouted, “or I’ll shoot.”
The young
man stops running.
Zimmerman,
gun still in hand walks up to the young man.
“Lie on the
ground, hand behind your back. No lie on
your back, so I can see your ugly face,” Zimmerman further ordered.
The young
man began to cry for mercy. “Don’t kill me,” he pleaded. “Don’t shoot me.” But Zimmerman pulls the trigger. The young man is dead.
Zimmerman
runs to his house and calls his father.
“What do I
do daddy? I just shot a black man”
“What
happened,” his father asked.
He told his
father what happened,
“Go bang
your head against a wall and plead, you were standing your ground.”
“What do
you mean, daddy?”
“Say you
were attacked by that young ruffian and you had to shoot him. Leave it to me I will talk to the police.”
We know
that Zimmerman was not arrested initially.
His Daddy saw to that.
If you
think the foregoing is fanciful, consider these facts.
We know
that Zimmerman had a gun. He saw the
youth afar off. If he decided to go
after the youth, would he not go gun in hand?
When he approached the youth, he would have seen the gun. Would Martin rush an older bigger man who had
a dun drawn on him?
How did
Zimmerman, if he is to be believed get on the ground? How did Martin get on top
of the gun touting Zimmerman?
To believe
Zimmerman’s account, one would have to be both bigoted and irrational.
Accordingly,
I assert that Martin’s killing was murder pure and simple, and cannot be
construed in any other way?
Will a jury
find Zimmerman guilty of even second degree murder? The odds are against it.
