Zimmerman defenders
I know that when Dick Cheney swore you in with the homo erotic paddling and the day old nascar birthday cake from Wal Mart and all he made you promise not to ever give straight answers again, but, for old time's sake, give it a try.
A black guy starts following, chasing in fact, a white guy who looks out of place in an sh!tty urban environment.
He catches up to the white guy, stops him and asks him what he is doing there, what kind of trouble he is getting into.
The black guy hasn't touched the white guy, but he seems very aggressive, raising his voice and interrogating the guy.
The white guy isn't from the area and already felt out of sorts before he even noticed the black guy following him. Now that this dude he doesn't know has chased him down and started questioning him, he is more than a little afraid regarding the black guy's intentions.
So the white guy pushes the black guy and the black guy falls down. Maybe after the black guy started getting a little verbally aggressive about the white guy being in his neighborhood. The white guy doesn't know if the black guy is crazy, a cop, a mugger, or what.
And maybe after the push, they tussle a little. A punch or two. Some rolling around. Whatever. No one is seriously injured, scrapes and bruises. Nothing that a little quick first aid by EMT's can't fix.
And they get themselves back on their feet and separated.
And the black guy shoots our little lost white boy to death.
The cops arrive on the scene and the black dude, the pursuer, the guy giving the white guy **** for being in his neighborhood, the guy with the gun says "Officers, he knocked me to the ground and was on top of me at one point and I have a bloody nose and..." so on. And the cops say "Down to the station and fill out a report." And he does. And they let him walk away a free man.
You don't think that would be a story? Of course it would be a f'king story. And no one would be taking the black street dude's side over the dead white accountant who innocently was lost in the bad part of town.
No one would be saying, "Well, that's his fault, he knows white people shouldn't go there" or "It is his fault, he wasn't dressed like other people in the area" or "He had a DUI 6 years ago and smoked pot back in college! He deserved it!" or "It's his fault for acting to defend himself too soon" or "That's what he gets for maybe kinda sorta winning the fight" or any of this bull****.
And libs,in this situation,as well as in the Martin situation,would be saying what an awful law it was and that this man clearly belongs in jail.
What would conservatives be saying?HINT: It rhymes with "pinch bob."
