You're backwards from what I've read. It was Martin that was calling
for help and Zimmerman who was doing the straddling.
The guy in the white shirt (hoodie?)was on top. Zimmerman had a red

Whatever the case, Zimmerman was told to stand down and wait for
officers to arrive.
He was told "we don't NEED you to do that". Not "don't do that" or
even we don't "want" you to do that.
Stand your ground will not be a successful
defense and will get overturned in your state legislature.
Bad, stupid law.
If Zimmerman's story is right, he wasn't standing his ground, he was
trying to get back in his truck. (retreating)
That is why I am waiting to see what the FBI says.
We have had a lot of people using inflammatory rhetoric without
hearing one defense witness or even hearing the defendant's story.
That is not justice. It is a lynching
Uh, methinks the lynching already occured. Funny choice of words
you've made.
The "defenders" of the shooter have had plenty of time to get together
and "align" their stories. Among other things, the "stand your ground"
law needs to be repealed. But, of course, it is Florida, which in recent
years has become as backwards as Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Virginia.
What might work is a nationwide boycott of traveling to Florida for
vacations until "stand your ground" is repealed.
