I am not a gun person so when another poster said it was hard to get a gun out of that holster, I asked how that was possible given the story Zimmy gave about how Martin had him pinned and how he got the gun.. I then went on to say what I heard the Prosecutor & Corey said today about how they thought Zimmy had his gun out earlier than when he claimed.. no where did i say he was chasing Martin waving his gun around.. and I also do not believe that Martin ran up to Zimmy, I believe it was Zimmy running around looking for Martin and finding him.. Not everyone is gonna fight or react to being followed how you think they should (as some people would not run home and others seem to think thats exactly what you should do, despite experts saying not to).. If there was a fight over the gun it could have been Martin trying to keep Zimmy's hand from reaching the gun or pointing the gun at him.. Martin was just an inexperienced kid who only a few weeks had turned 17 and was 40 pounds lighter than Zimmy.. I doubt he is gonna fight like you anymore than I would fight like you... quote:
ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 You implied that it wasn't possible for Zimmerman to *not* have his gun already out, even though the expert witness explained that quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 your question has nothing to do with what I actually posted.. so dont ask/direct your question at me.. quote:
ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 While we're all busy asking questions and stuff, perhaps somebody can explain this to me.. If you see a man following you and discern that he is waving a gun around (as alleged)... why would you run up and punch him in the nose instead of trying to get control of, or disable the gun hand? quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 quote:
ORIGINAL: BamaD The fact that the suspicious person, never referenced as a robber, burglar, or anything but suspicious, may have been armed is a good reason to be carrying. the other person being armed is actually a good reason to not leave your vehicle.. he also kept referring to Martin, I believe to both the operator and to the police during the interview as "the suspect"... that to me means he considered Martin was much more than just "suspicious".. he basically had already judged Martin a "criminal"..
