Nice weasel words.

“Stalking.”

“possibly brandishing”.

“paranoid aspiring rent-a-cop”.

There’s a job waiting for you at HuffPo.

Well, he isn't a police officer - so yes, stalking. A gun is known to have been in his possession and he flunked out of community college criminal justice program and called 911 to report open windows.

I think I am pretty comfortable with my description of this crackpot that some people want to elevate into the next Bernie Goetz.

Allow me to tell you up front, that of all the posters talking about this incident, you seem to have your facts straight, and these facts that you present are unassailable and of great value.

Semper fi, soldier.

“Stalking.”

You need to reevaluate your definition of "weasel words"

In this situation “Stalking” is not the weasel word.

Use of weasel word would be "Zimmerman had a right to follow Martin down a dark walkthrough"

He probably could have expressed himself better but I think his point is valid. Personally, the reason I think that Zimmerman should be held accountable is that I can see myself in Martin’s shoes. If someone looking like Zimmerman followed me around I’d feel threatened and be very tempted to swing first. If he made any movement to “detain” me or touch me in anyway then I would definitely take a swing. It seems to me that a lot of FReepers are saying that at that point the other guy would have the right to shoot me. I just don’t get that.
