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

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

The act of observation set up the confrontation that resulted in the shooting. As Sherlock Holmes would say "Its elementary"

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.

Use you head fella because obviously there was some sort of confrontation and this confrontation resulted in a shooting by Zimmerman.

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.

But why THIS individual? Were there other people walking around on the streets? Why did Zimmerman focus on this person?

And please tell me since you seem to have the answers who gave Zimmerman the AUTHORITY to follow anyone. By all accounts he was a self proclaimed neighbor watch consisting of one person. Did he have a contract with the community or authorization to stop and harass people that he determined suspicious? For this "suspicious" tag seems to be the probable cause Zimmerman is using to explain his contact with the deceased.
