Do you have any documentation that Zimmerman walked up to Martin, challenged his right to be on a public street and then brandished a weapon prior to his ending up on the ground on his back?

Do you have any evidence that the deceased was involved in a crime that prompted Zimmermen to confront him in the first place?

Zimmerman by his own admission said that he had the deceased under observation. The question is WHY? Why was he observing this person? The act of observation set up the confrontation that resulted in the shooting. As Sherlock Holmes would say "Its elementary"

Does your statement have any basis in law, and does it establish probable cause to arrest Zimmerman? Do you know that the law is not comprised of "what Rooivalk thinks is okay or not okay", but rather specific, articulable elements of criminal statutes?

BZZZT! Once again you continue to claim that Zimmerman confronted the deceased. Please provide ANY evidence of such, other than your own conjecture.

Well, first of all, duh, we know why Zimmerman was observing the deceased, he was on neighborhood watch. One can fairly debate whether or not Zimmerman's attention on Martin was justified, but there is nothing to indicate that Zimmerman did anything more than observe or follow.

YOU are the one making that assumption that Zimmerman caused the direct altercation - with absolutely no evidence to back that up.

But you have consistently pulled stuff out of your arse on this thread, and refused to provide a single link to back up any of your assertions that other posters have challenged.

Sherlock Holmes would be doing a double facepalm at your making up your own facts here.

You're being very short sighted and foolish. The very act of setting up a Neighborhood Watch Program was what led to this this whole incident. Banning them would save countless lives and heartache.
