Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Again, if a man attacked me in the middle of the night, I'd do the same
thing. It's called protecting yourself.


So you'd pull a Zimmerman on someone that attacked you. It's good to know you've come around.


Come around? I've said that from the very beginning that if someone
approached me in the middle of the night like Zimmerman did to Martin,
I'd have defended myself just like Martin presumably did.

Actually, IIRC, she said "we don't need you to do that" which is a
polite way of saying stand the **** down.


Language has meaning. If she had a reason, or the legal ground, to say "Do not follow him", she would have been trained to do just that. After all, supposedly the dispatchers and police departments knew him very well, right?

You're trying too hard to turn it into something it's not.


Bull****, she was a dispatcher not a lawyer or a police officer.

The thing is, it wasn't in the middle of the night. There is no evidence
that Zimmerman did nothing more than ask the kid who he was and what he
was doing on the property. What would be your reasonable "defense" to
that action?
Apparently the kid's response and his suspicious activity involving
parked cars led Zimmerman to ask the police to come and check the kid
out. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action? Zimmerman
decided to keep an ey on the kid from a distance till the police
arrived. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action"
It seems that, at this point, a game of hide and seek started. Here is
where it starts to get really interesting. Do you want to finish the story?

What's very clear is that Martin attacked Zimmerman for asking him a question. Martin initiated the violence. So if you asked someone a question and they started pounding your head into the pavement, you'd just let them, huh?

Bull****, she was a dispatcher not a lawyer or a police officer.


And there you go, now we agree that Zimmerman had no instruction not to follow Martin from anyone who has any authority.

And BTW, police dispatchers are highly trained. More so than you.

Yes it was.

I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the
girlfriend stated, Zimmerman pushed Martin hard enough that his phone
headset fell.

He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.


What's very clear is that Martin attacked Zimmerman for asking him a question. Martin initiated the violence. So if you asked someone a question and they started pounding your head into the pavement, you'd just let them, huh?


Please show the evidence that it's very clear that Martin attacked
Zimmerman first.
