What's happened since we've been hearing this?
Case 1: 2 14 yr old boys, followed a kidnapper on their bicycles, with the kidnapper dumping his little girl victim out on the street and taking off. The boys (black) were hailed as heroes. What did they do differently from Zimmerman? Arguably, it was more dangerous. They were unarmed. They followed a violent kidnapper driving a car, not just a suspicious person on foot, who had not committed any crime up to that point at that location.
Case 2: a 64 yr old man is being charged with child endangerment for NOT intervening when 3 perps, 15 yr old blacks are beating the crap out of a 15 yr vic (white). He followed the new Zimmerman Doctrine, don't get involved and call the cops. Bingo!
Lesson: Do anything to demonize George Zimmerman. Logic, rationality, common sense must all be thrown out, even by wet behind the ears Class of 2015 law students.
The author should be really revolutionary and defend Zimmerman and defend Stand Your Ground, instead of going along with the crowd. Son, stupid and sheeplike is no way to go through life. Try thinking.
“Zimmerman ought not have left his truck and attempted to see where the suspicious person went.”
When did that become a crime?
He would have won the trial even in New York State, because he couldn’t retreat when Travon on him. Only once the assault occurred would he have had an obligation to retreat in New York, and in this case it was impossible.
Case #2 is incorrect. Just saw that he’s not going to be charged.
