News to me that Zimmerman was in his car when told not to follow Martin. All indications were that he was on foot, said ok to the request not to follow, and was on a path to return to his vehicle to meet with the Police.
Am I wrong?
You are correct. It was during Zimmerman’s return path to his truck when Martin jumped Zimmerman and began his assault. Zimmerman was retreating when Martin attacked.
you are correct...that is the same report i heard...also Z was returning to his car and was jumped from behind. Martin was not on the sidewalk when Z saw him,he was between buildings at the apartment part of the complex. That would make anyone wonder why he was there looking around.( a report from a local paper)
You are correct.
(para)
Dispatcher/calltaker: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yes.
D/c: We don’t need you to do that.
Zimmerman: OK.
It is at that point that Zimmerman “broke off” his following of young master Traytable and was walking back to his vehicle. At some point along the way, Traytable blindsided/suckerpunched him.
(Another Freeper coined the “Traytable” nickname for Martin and I stole it.)
