“At some point after following Martin, Zimmerman then exits the vehicle and confronts him (at least verbally, and it is possible a weapon was displayed, no one knows). This is the same Zimmerman who called 911 almost 50 times over the previous year”
I read that Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle when the final confrontation started. Where did you find that Zimmerman confronted Martin face to face? I haven’t seen ANY reports of that happening.
Also, I thought the 911 calls were 50 over 6 years...
The 911 calls were over the course of a year from what I read, although who knows with the way this case is being handled and manipulated. If Zimmerman was tailing Martin in the vehicle, he had to exit at some point to confront him (degree or method, showing sidearm or not, no one knows). Zimmerman claimed he was returning to his vehicle when attacked and it is his word versus a dead kid’s, so who knows. Irregardless, he had no proof this kid committed a crime and followed and approached him anyway, all of this could have been avoided by simply doing what both the 911 operator and Neighborhood Watch suggest which is report only. He went looking for trouble.
Zimmerman didn’t confront Martin.
The transcript of the phone call shows:
Zimmerman is giving a description of Martin to dispatch. Martin sees Zimmerman and runs. Zimmerman exits the truck to pursue. He tells dispatch he’s lost Martin (which I’ve heard is confirmed by Martin who tells his girlfriend he’s lost Zimmerman).
How does Zimmerman confront Martin when he doesn’t know where Martin is?
Zimmerman said Martin looked straight at him. It’s in the 911 call.
