In reply to the discussion: Why Trayvon may have been heading north on the dog path and still not "doubling back" to ambush GZ [View all]louis-t
(24,486 posts)23. So, this proves Trayvon had a gun?
Oh, he gave someone the finger! That proves he beat up Zimmerman!
He smoked pot! Gangsta! Evil! Kill him!
And by the way, he may not have known which unit was the one he was staying in. He was in the back where there were no addresses and it was dark. I still think he went past the unit he was staying in while trying to get away from the killer and was coming back to find the right unit when he ran across Zimmerman for the second time. I think this is when Zimmerman decided that this was his chance, he was going to 'win' this time and try to detain the kid without identifying himself.

Why Trayvon may have been heading north on the dog path and still not "doubling back" to ambush GZ [View all]

OP
Quite plausible. There are other explanations leaving Z guilty, but that is a good one.

Except he got out of the gun, armed, knowing police would be on their way.

"The more likely scenario here is Zimmerman saw Travon run and got out to see which way he ran"

If Zimmerman saw Trayvon run away, Zimmerman saw Trayvon was no longer a problem

Amazing how you discount his story, which has some evidence, but stand by yours, with less evidence

What evidence is there to suggest that Trayvon ambushed Zimmerman other than his own story?

While the state bears the ultimate burden of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt....

Why can't one remotely entertain the notion that Trayvon went back to confront Zimmerman?

Logic dictates that if you're truly scared of someone, you don't go confronting them when cops are

Why can't you entertain the notion that Zimmerman was going to rape Trayvon at gunpoint?

It's not clear where he stopped/slowed down once he reached the dog path.

Fights right after they've been chased by a stranger for no known reason....

So such a scenario as I've described would be pretty unusual and nonsensical, correct? nt

Did you follow them and chase them for reasons that would be unknown to them?
