What would have happened to George
Zimmerman had he not managed to exercise his inalienable right of self-defense
on the night Trayvon Martin attacked him? A story from last fall illustrates:
An El Paso police officer allegedly knocked
unconscious and then beaten violently by a 17-year-old died Friday morning at
University Medical Center, police said.
Officer Jonathan Molina, 29, who did tours
of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, died a little
more than nine days after suffering a fractured skull, internal head injuries
and facial fractures.
The suspect, Juan Antonio Gonzalez, who had
been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer, was charged with capital
murder on Friday.
Here’s how it happened
The incident started on Sept. 25 at 4:53
p.m. when Molina, who was off-duty, saw a young man scratch his personal
vehicle with a piece of metal. The vandal was with two other man, one of whom
was Gonzalez. …
Molina got into his car and followed them a
way before parking in front of a home at 4120 Trowbridge.
After getting out of his car, Molina
identified himself as a police officer and confronted Gomez.
He got out of his car! He must have been
hunting the poor 17-year-old child!
Gonzalez allegedly punched Molina in the
face with his fist, stunning the officer.
Gonzalez then quickly grabbed Molina around
his knees and jerked his legs upward, the affidavit says.
That caused Molina “to fall backwards and
head first onto the concrete driveway,” the affidavit says. The blow to
Molina’s head knocked him unconscious, it says.
Gonzalez then “squatted over (Molina) and
began to beat (him) multiple times around the face and head,” the affidavit
says.
That’s the risk you run when confronting a
young hoodlum of the type glorified by the media. Unfortunately, Molina was not
able to get to his gun. Fortunately, George Zimmerman was.
