(28,817 posts)they all knew zimmerman. he'd called them so many times after all. they considered him a friend, and after all it was just a 17-year-old black kid, so why investigate? he says it's self defense, we'll roll with that.
apparently they didn't even canvas the area? wouldn't they have ended up knocking on Trayvon's own door if they had?
they all thought it would just "blow over." i think what they did NOT expect was that Trayvon had a perfectly legitimate reason for being where he was whereas their buddy zimmerman had no legitimate reason to go after him.
i'm glad that these details are coming out. an arrest should be imminent, for murder. let the jury sort out the degree of the crime (i'm thinking first degree hate crime). we'll see if it happens, but the more details such as these come to the surface the more likely it is imo.
