That's not what the evidence shows. He was a neighborhood watch. He saw someone that looked suspicious and he called Police.
TM was staring at GZ, walked towards his truck with his hand in is waistband...
At that point GZ was doing what NH is supposed to do and it appears TM confronted GZ.

I don't know what Trayvon Martin was guilty of that night, so far nothing has been proven to say that Trayvon Martin was in the wrong.
|
The evidence shows that TM hit GZ, knocked him down, straddled him MMA style "ground and pound" and was wailing away at his face. That is assault. He had no other injuries to suggest GZ ever struck him.

He wasn't here to tell his side of the story.

correct but there were witnesses including one eye witness

It's just sad all the way around. But as a Christian, I can't dare sit back and say that this case never should've been tried in the first place.

They are saying that because of the facts that came out in the Trial and in part by the prosecutions own witnesses that all corroborated GZ's initial story (which never changed) that TM attacked him. It has nothing to do with Christianity.
In fact Christians are supposed to love TRUTH not base their reasoning on subjective feelings

God help us. Maybe George Zimmerman had the correct intentions and there is no way he is guilty of 2nd degree murder. But George Zimmerman definitely made some mistakes that night that cost Trayvon Martin his life.
|
I don't believe that. What if GZ did not have a gun? He would have gotten beaten to a pulp and then so called Christians would say "GZ got what he deserved for the mistake he made"?

Maybe the shame and fear that he has to live with the rest of life with be punishment enough.

Punishment for what? He defended himself.
