Well then I "case the neighborhood" nightly.......armed.........it would at least be a fare gunfight.....poor tryvon wasn't even armed, he did put up a valiant fight against an armed aggressor though, but eventually lost....
If that had happened, poor trayvon would have met Zimmerman about 2 minutes later, Trayvon was RUNNING away, Zimm can probably run at less than 1/3 the speed of Baby Trayvon.

Since when did the definition of "watching" or "observing" require the inclusion of the part and parcel "stationary"? I spent a few moments checking a number of sources and for the life of me, I can't find one single definition that demands or even references that facet. I would argue the exact opposite. If one is "observing" a moving person, observation would demand mobility.

why do you want to minimize the fact that zimm kept following martin?
"shit, he ran"
"are you following him?"
"yeah"
and then, later on, after the call was over...
"then i went back towards him"
zimm kept following and following, that much is obvious. just because he caused the whole tragedy in the first place by following doesn't mean he isn't allowed to shoot his way out of it like the total pussy he is.

Buck, you're an odd duck. Why can't you just be glad to get another Hillary voter in 2016?

I wasn't minimizing anything or even commenting on the case at all, for that matter. Earlier in the thread, an RIU member repeatedly made the point that because an individual was in motion, it negated the argument the he was "watching" or "observing". I simply wanted to clarify that neither action requires an individual to be stationary.

oh, ok. so you were clarifying that zimmerman kept following martin, even though he was told he didn't need to.
got it.

That's not what I wrote and I wasn't even aware that the statement you just made was in question.

Seems more like a suggestion from someone who has absolutely NO legal right to tell you to do anything...
See how that works?

zimm called dispatch for help with those assholes who always got away. he was told that he did not need to follow those fucking punks.
he called for help, a qualified person instructed him on how to (not) behave, and he ignored them.

how is a dispatcher a "qualified person"? they are not sworn LEOs and as such can only give sugestions as harrekin pointed out...

LOL!
so now you bestow the highest honor upon LEOs, after previously trying to degrade me as such (baselessly, to boot).
those dispatchers are highly trained, qualified persons at what they do. they are professionals.
when they say that you don't need to follow those fucking punks and assholes, it's good advice.
i never said it was anything but a suggestion, captain obvious.and as such can only give sugestions as harrekin pointed out...
if i call someone for help, be it my doctor, netflix, or anyone else, if they tell me i don't need to do something, i'm not gonna do it.*
zimm called those guys for help a lot, they never let him down before and gave him solid advice that night, too.

Actually your dispatcher is trained to relay your message to the proper people. They are trained, but not highly trained professionals. They have as much authority as your average neighborhood watch person when it comes to giving orders. If you call your doctor and the answering service tells you what to do, you should take that advice with a grain of salt.LOL!

I would think if people had argued from the side of truth Zimm may have done time, but the lust for a murder charge doomed this case from the start. An adult spooked a kid, didn't identify himself while following, said kid decided to attack instead of run (he was 400 yds from his destination at the time of the call, you keep saying he tried to run away, when if he had, he would have been home in a minute) because he didn't know who the man was. Unknown man was getting his ass beat and shot said kid. Seems like negligent homicide was the logical argument, not murder or manslaughter.
Unfortunately, race baiting turned this case into a circus, well done.
