Wrong.... the recording is clear that he did stop....and even when he was persuing you can hear him and it was hardly a minute if that.
Watch can and does move to keeping the individual in sight, especially if he is jolting as this guy did....which is why Zimmerman began following him when he ran...., but when told not to do so he stopped. The converstion continues with directions on where he is and when to meet up with the police.
Might be good idea if you look at what is allowable and taught to Neighborhood watch members before you assume it only means watching...as well as listen to the recording of that conversation before passing even a minor conclusion of the matter.
Can you answer the same question I put at 86? Thanks.
Our neighborhood watch group members do not engage strangers except in self defense or the defense of another during a crime. We do not play cops and approach and question people in the neighborhood we don’t know. It’s none of our business to bother people unless they bother us. That kind of behavior is nosey, rude and inciting. You might get yourself jumped or shot for threatening and scaring the stranger as he stands his ground!
No one would be doing what Mr. Zimmerman was doing - approaching Mr. Martin on the street as a suspect. It sounds like he did not have an official crime watch group; rather he named himself the watcher of the neighborhood. This is a mess.
