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

33. Zimmerman doesn't have a "story"

The real fact is that he chased down a black kid he perceived as a "punk" and an "asshole" (and what supports this perception beyond attire and race?), shot him, and killed him. Thats fact.

Zimmerman's defense has woven a fantasy of red herrings to justify this murder. With Trayvon dead, we all can no more disprove these slight possibilities than we can disprove the existence of God or that perhaps a purple unicorn jumped the two of them that night. What we can prove beyond a doubt was the aforementioned fact that is currently not in dispute.

But Zimmerman's slightly possible fantasy justifications for murder are up for consideration of reasonable doubt simply based upon a perception of trustworthiness, which again, boils right down to a racial issue believe it or not. Just as Zimmerman killed the percieved "asshole" (aka as African American boy), the jury will use all social cues woven into their fantasy to determine if its credible enough to allow him to purge this weed smoking, hoodie wearing, lower-socioeconomic child.

As far as I can tell, it already is ok in so many people's minds that Trayvon Martin is dead. What we need now is just a reason that this purge is consistent with our ideals. We need something to soothe our cognitive dissonance, because we aren't allowed to say out loud, or even think out loud, that its ok to kill African American children that dress in a manner that we typically find foreign and offending to our white middle-class sensibilities.

We've just spent months fishing for a reason for our brains. A medicine for our social sickness.
