Cite any relevant statute which states that following someone on foot is either illegal or aggressive. Good luck with that.Anytime you follow or otherwise interfere with the legitimate progress of a person just walking down the street you are outside the law

Some call it stalking. And without any authority to follow on foot Martin, Zimmerman could be considered a stalker

>And the police dispatcher saw trouble coming and advised Zimmerman to stay in his car.

We’ve dealt with that enough times that it doesn’t bear repeating. A suggestion is just a suggestion.


So when the police tell you something you regard it as a "suggestion"? Please!

Once again, the key point- who threw the first punch?

There would have been no "first punch" had Zimmerman stayed in his vehicle. Right? Zimmerman was not punched inside his car. So why was he on the streets where he could get punched?

Where do you get this nonsense? A stalker? I mean really, do you listen to yourself?

Maybe you’re not aware of this, but police dispatchers are generally not actual police (cheaper to use a civilian). Their words do not in any weigh carry the weight of police orders.

Why was Martin on the street punching people? This is a pathetically stupid circular argument. We can go back a long ways with this and it will get just as far into nowhere.

One person in this situation initiated violence. According to the evidence available at this point, that person was Martin. You can hem and haw all you like about possibilities, but shoulda, woulda, coulda doesn’t mean didly squat. More to the point, nothing Zimmerman did was illegal. He committed no crime. Martin, by what evidence we have started a fight. That is breaking the law. This is a pretty clear cut difference. Your inability to grasp that simple reality is rather disturbing.
