No one here claimed that Zimmerman was gay, and that's why Martin attacked him. That's simply a strawman. The claim was made by Jeantel that Martin was afraid of being attacked and raped *by* Zimmerman. The absolute denial that the witness ever spoke those words, is on record here 'bollocks', 'no evidence', etc.). Here (one more time) is the transcript: quote:
MORGAN: And he was freaked out by it? JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely after I say may be a rapist, for every boy, for every man, every -- who's not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out? So you have to take it -- as a parent, when you tell your child, when you see a grown person following you, run away, and all that. Would you go stand there? You going to tell your child stand there? If you tell your child stand there, we're going to see your child on the news for missing person The only honest way to interpret that, is her suggesting that Martin (had he lived) would have invoked the gay panic defense, even though there is zero evidence to support it. quote:
ORIGINAL: JeffBC quote:
ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Now lets get black to your claim the girl said Martin attcked Zimmerman because he was gay. And to be fair to you, I will only post her words from your fucking link.... I don't see how any of those statements would support an assertion of a homophobic reaction. Men, in general, are assumed to be predators. We all know this to be true. Whether it's a warranted assumption is a fascinating question but certainly US society agrees it's true. Men are dangerous. That's all I see here.
