Mr. Zimmerman was not acting outside the legal boundaries of Florida Statute by carrying his weapon when this incident occurred. He was in fact on a personal errand in his vehicle when he observed Mr. Martin in the community and called the Sanford Police Department.
The call taker’s suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow. Zimmerman’s statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his truck to meet the police officer, when he says he was attacked by Trayvon.
When the Sanford Police Department arrived at the scene of the incident, Mr. Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony.
I glommed on to those statements as well. This certainly clarifies why he’s not in jail. I’m really interested in the physical evidence. I want to know if this kid “punk’d out” and tried to attack Zimmerman with a brick or a pipe or a tree branch. If so, Zimmerman was within the bounds of the law.
Trayvon Martin: Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee temporarily steps down
Temporarily stepping down after a vote of no confidence by the city council. Unreal! Liberal touchy-feely garbage!
With Holder in charge of the DoJ, regardless of his innocence, Zimmerman's going to jail.
