Yes. Thugs run away all the time; just watch a rerun of COPS.
Running isn't illegal, but he also
stopped running and ambushed Z in a manner of speaking.
It makes absolutely NO sense for someone to stalk a suspicious person in order to attack and kill them; especially the way that neighborhood is set up. Z is not stupid nor is he crazy, so I doubt it would be in his character to do so. Also if you allege that he planned the attack out in order to make it APPEAR as self defense, I think you're getting a little carried away. What reason would he have to think his plan would work if M was trying to evade him? (Z used the word "running" as in "evade" not to imply the speed at which he was moving; he cleared this up in his statements.) What kind of sane rational person would think a complicated plan like that would work? And what sane rational individual would even risk it?
The court case it legitimate, but people are making it a race issue. Why can't it just be one person shot another? Much of the black community has made a travesty out of justice in this instance. Maybe people should learn from their actions once in a while.
If I was walking through people's yards, I'd ask myself... "If someone saw me, would they think this was suspicious?" If the answer is yes, then I either wouldn't do it or I would apologize immediately and explain when noticed. I'd expect to be confronted and I'd expect someone to defend themselves if I attacked them. M deserves a trial regardless of how common, familiar and transparent this situation is to everyone.
The simple fact is that Z did nothing illegal.
THIS is the fact that most people try to ignore and many would certainly love for it to be illegal. According to his statements, he did absolutely nothing illegal. The police don't do shit and now the left wants people, particularly non-blacks, to not be allowed to take a proactive stance in protecting their neighbors, property and neighborhood. You can either have a police state in which you are protected from all danger... except for the police themselves or you can live in a free state and ensure your own safety and freedom by being vigilant and not cowering behind the curtains, powerless, while someone victimizes you or your family. I think a lot of this boils down to our views on self-reliance, self-sufficiency, independence and willingness to stand up for it.
