ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 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. Your right. I should have said the claim was "Martin attacked Zimmerman out of homophobia." There is no evidence that Trayvon did that though is there ? "You forget that martin's girlfriend said he attacked Zimmerman out of homophobia imagine the reaction if Zimmerman had invited him into his truck. " The above is Bamas claim, something the girl clearly never said. Martin had, according to her, profiled Zimmerman as a homosexual and a threat. That is far more evidence than that Zimmerman profiled Martin on race. If answering what race Martin was means that Zimmerman profiled him and killed him because he was black this would constitute irrefutable evidence that Martin was in the midst of a hate crime when killed. I was using your sides evidence standards.
