You can stop right there; I'll I've done is state facts.
Your understanding is incorrect. Zimmerman claims he was walking to his car when Trayvon attacked him to help his self-defense claim (which is crumbling by the way). However, Travyon was shot and killed just 70 feet from his house and the "physical altercation" took place near/in between neighbors' houses, on grass. If Trayvon attacked Zimmerman as Zimmerman was walking to his car, why did the altercation happen nowhere near his car? There is absolutely NO evidence to substantiate Zimmerman's claim that he was walking to his car. Until evidences surfaces to support this claim, it is hear-say.
Why would he call Trayvon a goon? LOL. I urge you to listen to the 911 audio where you can legibly hear him say "coon."
How on earth was Trayvon dressed suspiciously? Since when is it so suspicious to wear a hoodie that it's OK for someone to call the police on you for it? Trayvon was residing in the neighborhood - he was staying at the house with his dad. He DID belong there.
I am not convicting Zimmerman. I am simply saying he should be convicted. I don't have the authority to convict him myself, I am just stating my opinion that it is extremely unjust that there wasn't an immediate arrest. What you seem to not be able to grasp is that whether or not Zimmerman's intentions were racially-driven, that still doesn't negate the fact that he PERSUED an unarmed person who was just trying to go home, and killed him. That is murder.
I'm also wondering why you're ignoring the fact that the forensic voice analysts have concluded that is was certainly not Zimmerman crying for help, meaning it was Trayvon. This completely ruins Zimmerman's claim of self-defense, because 1) Zimmerman claimed that it was HIM crying for help, which it has been established that that is a lie, and 2) since we now know that it was Trayvon and not Zimmerman begging for their life right before the gunshot, we can logically infer that Zimmerman was in a position of power and not needing self-defense; Trayvon was the one begging for his life. Zimmerman was not defending himself, he was murdering an innocent boy.
You also ignore the fact that the Sanford police have a history of racial injustices. Perhaps you should look into it.
