That sounds a lot like what the Martin family is saying about Zimmerman. Originally Posted by WTFThey are right about Zimmerman. What no one knows is who started the fight.

Tell that to TSA the next time you board a flight. Completely different scenario.A group of young inexperienced girls doing nothing wrong get rushed by a group of armed men and panic is going to occur. While I agree that if they had not panicked and the cops had approached them calmly we would not be having this discussion, I can not envision a scenario where the cops do not bear the brunt of the blame here. They are supposed to be trained and experienced in how to approach people.
As for the existing situation ... it depends on what they were doing with the "bottles with a liquid substance" in them ... one has to "assume" that was is printed in the media is 100% accurate of what actually happened and has included every detail of the event ....
... and you can't actually believe that to be the case. Agreed
If these "bad guys" were going to kill them .... as you suggest they might .... would they statistically be more likely to do it in front of the convenience store or down the street in a DARKER area? Some call it ... "jumping from the frying pan into the fire"!
Perhaps one day we will get the rest of the story, if they file a civil suit. Originally Posted by LexusLover
