Unfortunately....
Regardless of Who was Right or Wrong.
A Needless Death Occurred..
Additionally .. Given I was Not there and thus Did Not See what Happened I ( and most other people ) can Not talk Intelligently as to what did or did Not happen..
I However...Tend to Look at it like this..
The Kid was 17
Very Thin and Not too Strong.
The Neighborhood watch guy was Far Stronger
So unless the kid was on some drug(s)
(this seems un likely given i am sure drug tests were done on both of them)
Given there was No Gun found on the Kid..
I Fail to Believe the older guy was in Any Danger.
Then through in how police dispatcher said they did not require him to follow the suspect..
Given how Police and Detectives Failed to find the caller who had been talking to the kid at the time this all happened.
Then unless Proof comes to Light showing the Kid was the Aggressor
I will Until then Side with the Kid..
heck i have been attacked by 12 people once and 15 people another time....I was Never in Danger...Regardless of what the Thugs tried to make themselves a Danger..
So Until is Proved otherwise..
I say the Kid was Innocent.
The Guy who Shot him being Guilty..
However these are PURELY an Opinion..
Given i do NOT have the Facts ( let alone all of them )
Did CNN show this pic? Naw, doesn't fit the agenda.

I think Martin is stronger than you give him credit for. Maybe, George is a big pussy, and is only emboldened by packing heat.
You were attacked twice, by a hoard of people and was never in danger? Was this at a preschool or something?
Once was Jumped by a Bunch of thugs who thought it funny as hell
to have lit a pack of fire crackers as i walked out of a fast food store..
I went up to what started as 4 punk teenagers ( aged 16-18 )
After they backed down...
I walked away instead of kicking the crap out of them..
However a block later..the 4 were back with many friends.
there was somewhere between 12 to 16 of them..
they kept coming from everywhere..
I just kept fighting them off & Yelling to someone on a pay phone
who thought it was all funny...
so i put 2 in the hospital...
When i got to the guy on pay phone....
I said what the Hell..
He said..you were doing ok ( the dumb ass )
Another time out at a club...
some 3 in the mourning i left with my brother and a friend
We went to open deli across the street..
When we came out...
we were sucker punched..
was between 12 to 15 people that time..
My friend had his jaw broken..
My brother was ok..
I had my Brother take our friend away..
I then Proceeded to kick the crap out of the ones who sucker punched us.. i put 4 in the hospital..
We spent 6 months or so in and out of court..
Before was proven we had not started..
I am One of those People..
Who are Friendly happy go lucky type..
that is until i have reason to be otherwise.
those 2 fights were not even the closest to the worst i have been in
I had a person on nyc subway hold knive to my throat..
another time someone came at me with an axe upstate nj
Another time someone came at me with a bat in bensinhurst Brooklyn..
Another time in lower mid town manhattan 2ed avenue..someone came at me with a machete ..
Yet another time in Brighton beach brooklyn someone took a shot at me with a gun ( some random shooting..but i moved out of there the following day )
of the fights i have been in..
6 went to hospital..
