BTW if martin really felt threatened, why didn't he hang up on the
girl and dial 911?


Maybe because some black folks are reluctant to call the police,
especially in a town with a long history of racism towards
them...you
know, a town like Sanford.


OK so Zimmerman called the police and Martin decided to take the law
into his own hands, 'nuff said.

Who is the vigilante again?



Zimmerman was whining about how "they always get away," so rather than
wait for the police, he took the law into his own hands.

"Vigilante justice" is rationalized by the idea that adequate legal
mechanisms for criminal punishment are either nonexistent or
insufficient. Vigilantes typically see government as ineffective in
enforcing the law; and such individuals often presume to justify their
actions as fulfillment of the wishes of "the community".

So, in response to your question, the vigilante was Zimmerman.

Have nice day.

-------------------------------------------

A vigilante doesn't call the police to report a crime or suspicious
activity.
Zimmerman did.

A vigilante isn't in direct communications with a police dispatcher.
Zimmerman was.

A vigilante wouldn't respond to the dispatcher's question "Where did
he go?" with an attempt to try to find out.
Zimmerman did.

A vigilante would have shot Martin as soon as he saw him.
Zimmerman didn't. He shot him in self defense while getting his ass
kicked.
