<<According to reports, Zimmerman wore his gun conspicuously in his belt.>>
What 'reports', please? From where did these 'reports' originate?
<<BTW, If Trayvon was on top of him pinning down his arms as Zimmerman's father says, it would be pretty hard for Zimmerman to physically retrieve a totally concealed firearm.>>
Ever been in a fight for your life? One can manage some pretty unusual things, once they face the reality of possibly dieing. And as I am sure you know, if ones arms are 'pinned down' at or along their sides ... that is easily within reach of a pistol in a belt holster. "Pretty hard" doesn't cut it, in a life or death struggle.
<<Also, as you might know, a 9mm is a powerful firearm At close range the bullet would have easily gone through Martin's body and been found somewhere. I have heard no reports of a bullet being anywhere but in Trayvon's body. >>
As I most certainly do know, it is not at all unusual for a round to remain inside the body cavity of one being shot, especially if it hit bone somewhere along the way.
Where did you see a report the bullet was still in Martin's body? Have you heard such a 'report'?
<<Arrest Zimmerman for manslaughter or murder, he gets his defense in court, and so do the grieving survivors of Trayvon as well as civil society... that needs to have a mature discussion about guns, profiling and vigilantes.>>
It's not about giving the survivors their day in court, nor about 'civil society'. It's about "probable cause" .... and having sufficient grounds to arrest Zimmerman, not based on some media-fueled public outcry that Zimmerman needs to be convicted. We have to follow the rule of law ... I thought you had acknowledged that already? Martin's parents will have their day in court, in the civil suit they have started. |
