He’s not the one doing the “documentary”. Jay-Z is the one responsible for bringing it back up. Branca is just reviewing it and I trust him to be more impartial and accurate than the Black Lives Matter funded series
I'm not saying it's a documentary. I'm just tired of Zimmerman crap coming up again.
I'll say this, in all honesty: Few of us here (
@Law of Self Defense excepted) are privy to much more than what we've gleaned from the media on this whole debacle. And even those at the trial are only privy to what was presented at that trial. None of us are actual witnesses.
So all the information we have (to date) is pretty much just what we've heard about on the media, whatever form(s) that may be.
That, in my opinion, is just about as "hearsay" as you can possibly get.
Travon Martin was, by what I've seen and heard from various sources, a thug in his own right.
George Zimmerman was, and is, in my own opinion, an idiot. An exceptionally LUCKY idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.
An altercation happened. A shooting happened. A death happened. The exact circumstances surrounding all these are not all clear, though I'm sure forensic evidence does play a role in clarifying some aspects.
But, regardless of what actually happened, the trial is over and done with. Has been for what...5 years now?
What I've gleaned since then is this:
George Zimmerman is STILL an idiot. If he had the sense God gave a pissant, he would have dropped of the radar and STAYED off of it. But noooooo...he's had issues with his estranged wife, his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend, and even hauled out of a bar for yelling at a waitress. Now he's being charged with stalking a PI?
Now, I get it...people have problems with, say, ex-wives and what not. But THIS slack-jawed, booger-eating moron ought to be doing an honest assessment of his life and problems and learning how to disappear off the radar for his own good.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE AREN'T THINGS TO LEARN ABOUT THE MARTIN/ZIMMERMAN ENCOUNTER?
Nope. Not at all. In fact, I'd be interested in knowing actual, no-BS, useful information about the encounter, how it could have been handled better, and other USEFUL information.
But honestly...I'm thinking this has long sense hit the point of diminishing returns for me. Here're a couple things I get from all the stuff so far, summed thusly:
"This was Travon Martin. Don't be like Trayvon Martin."
"This is George Zimmerman. Don't be like George Zimmerman."
