It doesn't matter. It's a free country. We're all allowed to follow whoever we want to follow in our communities. Community watch or not. The only time that's NOT allowed is by court order (stalking cases, abusive spouse - etc).
Newspapers even have the right to photograph people on sidewalks and follow them... just as I have that right - and you do too.
U The 911 operator suggested Zimmerman NOT follow Trayvon for HIS safety because following alleged criminals can be dangerous. The operator was not implying that all blacks have special rights the rest of us don't have...
Certainly. Zimmerman possibly being unwise but legal is not the question at this circus trial and the lament from the Sanford police about this can only serve to mislead. They’d have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman picked the fight in such a way that Martin would have been legally justified in physically injuring Zimmerman in his self defense. No can do, short of some unimpeachable eyewitnesses or camera evidence.
