George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin

Well, that would surely depend on the question and how it was framed. That, we will never know and, frankly, knowing Zimmerman for the serial thug he is, I have little confidence in the veracity of anything he says.

Does it? Give me an example of how a question can be framed to justify assault.

We do know. Had a whole trial and verdict and everything. [emoji2369]

The fact you dodged, again, my question is your choice. No doubt several others have noted your tendency to do so too. Also, the only time you said "uncommon" in this thread was in the quote above. It's a false statement for you to claim you'd posted it previously.

You dodged my post I asked you about fighting as a teenager.

No, I didn't get in fights as a teenager, smoke pot or flash a pistol around like a wannabe gangsta. YMMV

Since I've answered all of your questions and you haven't answered mine, I'll right you off as being a disingenuous poster.

Presumptions based on Zimmerman’s testimony. At 17, I suppose you were the same mature adult you are today.

And accepted by a judge and jury.

I am not the same mature adult at 40 as I was at 30. Or 20. Never in my maturity though have I ever thought it was acceptable to assault someone over words.

Obviously I was raised better. Must be my white privilege.

So how do you know Martin assaulted Zimmerman over words. Again you are presuming

And kids that do should not be judged by pictures, and getting into fights. But I do believe adults should be judged by their police record. Don’t you?

Look, Martin didn't commit a crime until he bashed Zimmerman's head on the concrete.

What cause did Zimmerman have to follow Martin? The spate of burglaries in the area. Zimmerman was being vigilant to further burglaries.

What cause Martin to attach Zimmerman?

We know for a fact Martin assaulted Zimmerman without physical provocation.
 
Citizen said:
How do you know that?

Because Martin had no physical injuries except the gunshot wound and bruises on his knuckles from striking Zimmerman

Zimmermans testimony and injuries. Which was accepted by the judge and jury. There is no reason to doubt his testimony.

Just because it was accepted by the jury does not mean it is true.

That is not proof that he assaulted Zimmerman without physical provocation. Zimmerman is a wife beater, the lowest of the low in my opinion.

Was he convicted of domestic assault?
 
Citizen said:
That was just speculation as I pointed out in an earlier post. Sure they were fighting, that is obvious, but you don’t know how the scuffle started and where Zimmerman’s gun was at the time

Considering the fact that there were no defensive wounds on Martin, the fight was completely one sided, which indicates an ambush, which is what the jury saw.

As I said, you can only speculate

Simple; we know about Zimmerman's racist history, so a question containing racist epithets could easily provoke someone-by using the n-word, for example.

What racist history?

A question containing a racist epithet is not justification for assault.

Nor is protesting against white supremacist neo-Nazis a justification for murdering a young girl by running her down. **** happens.

Who said it was? And how is that relevant? [emoji849]
