I listened to the 911 tapes again and there is no doubt in my mind that zim followed Trayvon Martin.
There's no doubt in my mind that Trayvon Martin gave zim a good fight, defending himself while in his FIGHT or FLIGHT mode that humans go into when they feel threatened.
Two things this case highlights for me include:
1) How far we have come in this country when it comes to matters of race. The PUBLIC outrage is not limited by color or culture and that's a very good thing and it is indicative of the brotherhood that most AMericans feel for each other;
2) How far we have to go when it comes to race, perceptions and prejudices. This isn't the America my Dad grew up in, and I am so proud of our progress and proud of my country and my fellow citizens. Most Americans are genuinely good human beings, but all of us,
myself included have room for growth when it comes to prejudice and how we interact with each other.
This whole incident started due to prejudice, included senseless violence that could have been avoided, but has the potential to end with a general public's confidence renewed in a justice system that is often abused.
God bless America.
