You cannot be serious. Insulting, but not serious.
Since when does one person have the right to stop another citizen in the street for no reason? And Zimmerman did not have a reason, because Martin walking in the rain and looking around ("It's raining, and he's just walking around looking about.") doesn't constitute suspicious behaviour.
From the transcript:
"Now he's coming towards me. He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male...Something's wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out. He's got something in his hands. I don't know what his deal is...These assholes, they always get away."
After discussing his location with the dispatcher, Zimmerman exclaimed, "Shit, he's running," and the following sounds suggest he left his vehicle to run after Martin.
"Are you following him?" the dispatcher asked. Zimmerman replied: "Yep."
"Okay, we don't need you to do that," the dispatcher warned.
Martin started to run and Zimmerman got out of the SUV to chase him. Why?
"Several minutes later, according to other callers to 911 in the neighborhood, Zimmerman and Martin got into a wrestling match on the ground."
It seem to me that Zimmerman went on the attack and Martin stood his ground. But we'll never know because Martin isn't here to tell his side of the story.
Irony of ironies, that you of all people are taking Zimmerman's side on this. You talk all the time about questioning authority. Yet Zimmerman was not an authority figure who Martin was compelled to obey, so what gives? Were you just looking for an opportunity to say I write stupid posts?
by official accounts and one witness who's changed his story around, it seems you would be wrong. IF zimmerman is actually the neighborhood watch captain, he has a right to follow someone who looks suspicious. I can follow anyone around that I want to as long as I remain on the public wayfares. what proof do you have that zimmerman went on the attack? I'll even give you the possibility that zimmerman DID attack and martin defended himself and was shot in doing so, but in no way, shape, or form do you have a single bit of factual evidence that either scenario happened so I didn't have to look too damned far for your post to be stupid.
