So your theory is that Trayvon attacked him because he knew that Zimmerman had a gun?

Zimmerman shot Martin in cold blood, then bashed himself in the head with a rock. See it on tv all the time.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Raz is trolling.


Or he's off his meds.

What exactly would you do if some stranger follows you around at night in his car gets out tells he's "arresting" you?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There is a clear lesson in this case for all young Black men in Florida.

Carry a firearm.

Oh, I imagine if Martin shot Zimmerman he'd be cooling his heels in jail right now.

He doesn't have to pull it out. 

Come on man, Tryvon beat the shit out of Zimmerman because he didn't know he had a gun.
Tryvon was a criminal and a delinquent beating people up, until he beat the shit out of the wrong guy.

You don't wake up and say "I'm gonna start beating people up!".
You build up violence as part of your possible answers to a given issue.
You make violence one of your tools for conflict resolution.

That, is what happened.
Tryvon fucked with an armed man, and Colts Rule is golden.

When did that happen?

It's a hypothetical.  As far as I know, this did not happen to you.

He could simply have flashed it as he was making his citizens arrest.  After all he didn't want him to get away, cause "those punks always get away".

So now he does have to pull it out.

Kleves

Probably better not to physically attack people in the first place.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Admiral Yi

Yeah Joan, not sure how the lesson is if you're black you should bring a gun to a sidewalk pounding.

What's the point, then?

Yi was asking for hypothetical situations and I stated one that was likely.  I asked you what  you would do.

No, he simply made it known that he had it.  You can display a weapon with out unholstering it.
