i was followed once, by a black guy no less.
we were driving on the highway, him in front of me in the passing lane and decided i was getting too close, so he slowed down.
i moved into the carpool lane and passed him.
he then pulled out his phone and started following me.
i went to pull off the highway and he kept on following me.
i threw my brakes on the give him the hint to fuck off.
he then came up beside me and said "hey, you think you tough, you wanna settle this? pull into the parking lot."
i replied "i will rip your concsiousness from the base"
he then followed me into the parking lot.
i got out of the car and he realised i was not just a little white boy but instead a 6'1 175lb crazy white boy that wont take shit.
i could have gone up to his car at that point and started something. he was following me after all and instigating.
but i didnt. i simply looked him dead in the eye and yelled WHAT!? ....... he stared at me in silence and i said "yea, thats what i thought" and drove off.
as i was driving away he looked at me again and i said "make sure you aim for the head nigga"
i understand where tray was coming from, he was being stalked by someone he didnt know. a man that was on a phone and was following him to his house. i could not in good conscience lead this man near my house and had to put an end to it.
keep in mind i had a cell phone and could have called the cops while touring this guy around, in the heat of the moment i was only worried about the defence of myself and my house.
zimmerman could have stayed in his car and let the cops come, he didnt. trayvon could have called the cops, but he didnt.
my question now is. who threw the first punch? who initiated physical contact to cause harm instead of calling the police, staying put and asking questions, video taping him, calling your mother/father, running away. etc etc etc....
this could have been a simple "hey, you okay? what are you doing around here? do you need help?"
unfortunately most people have let their ego's get in the way. assuming the worst. he could have tried to find out what is actually going on instead of letting his imagination run away with it.(on both sides)
to quote a smarter person then i "the world is not a vicious place, its just the way weve been raised, discovering time and space" - dub fx
we assume the worst and due to that lead ourselves down this path. if either of them had just said, What are you doing? instead of acting on instinct like uneducated animals, do you think any of this would have happened? alot changes when you meet face to face and converse over the problem instead of hiding behind a front.
