Jimmy's aregument is that Zimmerman is guilty because he "is a dummy" because he waited till the last second to shoot him. Weirdest illogical argument I ever heard, regardless of what actually happened on that night. And yes Jimmy, some people are brave enough, with or without a gun. Anthony hit it on the head, if you look at Zimmerman as a victim, because of the initial "attack" from Treyvon, then Jimmy is victim blaming, blaming Zimmerman for getting hit by Treyvon.

[@Jmatrixxxxxxxx]

[@michaelvigil3436]

leo sky So Zimmerman was wrong for not threatening him? It's the same thing as brandishing the gun, you can't just run around pulling your gun out like Jimmy was saying and you can't just threaten people on the street by saying "I have a gun" regardless if you actually have a gun or not. The whole problem with this situation is fuckheads like you who 1) don't understand how to properly own and carry a gun and 2) who constantly bring this back to race when race literally has nothing to do with it.

Jesus Nortons logic is non existent here in this argument. You can't just brandish a weapon in the open dummy. Zimmerman was attacked and defended himself by taking out that crim. NUFF SAID.

[@anneominous7172]

Norton's take here lacks so much thought it's unreal. If you brandish a gun and the guy keeps coming the only next step is to use it - this is specifically why you don't take your gun out unless you feel it's absolutely necessary to either save your life or prevent serious harm. Jimmy is incredibly quick witted but he can be a real idiot sometimes.

[@DaRealBenRichards]

Jimmy has no idea. Never pull your gun for show

[@pdon9425]

Jimmy's hindsight could be used against Trayvon too. Trayvon shouldn't have punched the guy because you don't know what strangers are capable of. Maybe he could've called the police and said he was being followed by someone. When you assault somebody for any reason you are risking your own life because Zimmerman had the right to defend himself. I agree with Jim when he says Zimmerman could've handled it better but I think Trayvon was a big part of the escalation of violence too. If I was getting the shit kicked out of me I would use a gun too. I don't think Jim understands how impulsive and reactive people can be in these situations. Its human instinct

[@-Twotonepony-]

Jimmy made a more compelling reason as to why HE would be a poor gun owner. He’s arguing with a guy that is an avid gun enthusiast about good gun judgment with evidence clearly coming only from T.V. and Movies. He sounds like he honestly believes that had he been the one in this situation, he would have whipped out his gun at the beginning and wouldn’t be sitting in court explaining why he thought it was appropriate to have pulled a gun on an unarmed kid. NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE TO GUN THEIR GUN!!!!! You almost convince yourself that nothing bad will happen and don’t wanna even acknowledge that you were wrong this time and it’s time to pull out the gun. The actual appropriate time. That being said, I have always and still am split on this thing. It’s just too much in favor of, yet also discounting, for both sides. Everyone picked sides from the moment the individual races were known...... kind of.... Zimmerman wasn’t white, but whatever. He looked like us enough for the MSM.

[@-Twotonepony-]

Michael Bowman I mean, the video covers both narratives. So the reasons I'm split is because I can see the logic of both sides and we can't hear both parties sides of the story. I could see him being attacked and being forced to use the gun at the last given moment, but I could also certainly see him provoking the situation and escalating it. But unless he physically attacked Trayvon, then Trayvon had no reason to attack him because provoking isn't illegal. That's not to say he didn't make it physical first. But that's my whole point, we can't be 100% certain of anything and so we just have to trust that the system came to the correct conclusion. So I'm not trying to seem rude by any means, but how exactly could you specifically clear it up unless you were there? And even if you say you were, this is a KZbin comment section. That wouldn't make me any less split on it. But I'm more than happy to hear a different aspect from anyone if it's something that is factual and not just an emotionally certain feeling.

[@BrobiwanKenobi1313]

So the argument Jimmy is making that he didn’t shoot the dude fast enough? He was supposed to shoot him before he feared for his life?

[@ImDarthGamer]

Crazy to me that jimmy’s argument is “if you have a gun this shouldn’t have happened”. That directly contradicts his gun control point. If you believe guns can stop things like this from happening, wouldn’t you be opposed to gun bans and limitations??

Jim Norton seems to be arguing that, contrary to the police dispatcher's advice, Zimmerman SHOULD have continued to follow Martin, after being told "We don't need you to do that". That is the exact OPPOSITE of what every other critic of Zimmerman has been saying. Almost in unison, Zimmerman's critics say "He shouldn't have followed Martin". Norton seems to be saying "Once he started following, he should have continued "The Hunt" until he found him". Seems Zimmerman would be facing criticism for virtually every possible action he could have taken.

+Willow216p Shave the head and give him a Sanchez goatee, and he looks like every Mexican henchman in every movie ever. I realize he might not be Mexican. He's hispanic. Same difference.

Shit you should be testifying in court you apparently where there seen it all. FYI good kids don't post pictures with wads of cash from illiegal activities and drug talk it is what it is he probably tried to check his nuts and ended up paying with his life

Funny how I heard Anthony multiple times saying that use of lethal force for self defense is not only justified WHEN ATTACKED, but when you BELIEVE you are in danger. Really funny how he didnt seem to have that belief in this conversation too, ehm...ehm cognitive dissonance ehm...ehm

[@Willow216p]

You have stated your opinion, but, Zimmerman did not know who Trayvon was and I'm sure Trayvon did not know who or what kind of guy was following him. If I was being followed like that I would've been ready to fight myself. If that makes me retarded, then so be it! Zimmerman was told not to pursue, he is not law enforcement and he has gotten himself into trouble for being overly zealous after the this trial was over. Zimmerman started the whole thing so he got his ass kicked a little, at least he is still alive. Can't say that for Trayvon now can we?

Breezy 1994 nope, no weapons were garnished. Not a gun, knife, or sword was adorned with a nice sprig of parsley, nor a tiny fruit carved in to a flower likeness that night.

12:58 oh the irony

[@harrydrake4173]

Ant argues in bad faith. If the roles were reversed, he'd say Trayvon was in the wrong for playing cop and following Zimmerman.

[@FSinWCR]

It's hard to take Anthony's side when you know his mentality on this was that Zimmerman was in the right for this.

Did Norton where that head dress during the entire argument ?
