Cause And Effect On George Zimmerman

Imagine walking home in the rain after purchasing a snack at 7-11 then being followed and shot. You’re shot because you look suspicious in your hoodie and jeans. German composer Johannes Brahms once said “Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.” Zimmerman was suspicious because Trayvon was not like him. On February 26, 2012 George Zimmerman alerted the police of Sanford, Florida that there was a suspicious guy walking around his neighborhood looking about. Zimmerman described what the guy was wearing as “A dark hoodie,

At the time Trayvon was shot he was visiting his father’s girlfriend who lived in the same community as Zimmerman. The break-ins made Zimmerman suspicious of Trayvon but he had no visible proof that Trayvon was a threat to him or his neighborhood. The 9-11 call Zimmerman made started out with the police dispatcher asking him what the suspicious man was wearing. Like I had previously mentioned Zimmerman could only make out that he was wearing a dark hoodie, jeans or sweatpants, and white tennis shoes. This incident was going on at around 7:00 p.m. and it was raining so the visibility conditions outside were not good. The dispatcher questioned Zimmerman about the race of the suspicious guy in which Zimmerman responded saying he might be black. There is no legal proof that race was part of the murder but it is possible that Zimmerman’s suspicion grew when he uncovered the fact that Trayvon was African American. There is absolutely no valid reason for Zimmerman to develop such great suspicion that he needed to get out of his truck to follow Trayvon and subsequently murder him. Trayvon did not possess any visible weapons or any other forms of harmful objects on him. If Zimmerman felt the need to disobey the orders of the police dispatcher and follow Trayvon he should have left his gun in his truck because there was no visible proof that Trayvon had a weapon to hurt Zimmerman with or to defend himself
