Of course Zimmerman was within his rights. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t being creepy. Zimmerman was just some dude as far as Martin was concerned. It’s not like Zimmerman had a badge or some formal ID. Although I’m still not convinced Martin was doing anything truly suspicious, I agree that Martin was ultimately in the wrong when he attacked Zimmerman. With that said, I will never think of Zimmerman as anything more than an overzealous cop want-to-be who’s lack of training got him way too deep into a situation he could not handle.
Did you watch even a minute of the trial, especially those days that Trayvon’s gal pal Rachel Jeantel was on the witness stand?
