No law against following someone on the street. I just heard the play back of the police call. The word used is following NOT chasing.

Now who's the one changing facts, eh?

BTW, it's also on record, by an eye witness, that Martin had Zimmerman on the ground and was beating him with his fists.

The police have already investigated this case and found no reason to charge Zimmerman. The evidence and witness backed up his story.

Nobody ever said this wasn't a tragic event all the way around.

um... it is not unlawful to follow someone.

I suppose at some point it might be called stalking if you did it regularly to someone, but that is obviously not the case here.

Zimmerman is a free citizen, and as such had no obligation what so ever to listen to the dispatchers advice. If he refused to listen to the dispatcher and kept following Martin.. was he dumb? maybe so. But that is a far cry from saying he somehow committed a crime by continuing to follow Martin (assuming he did so)

Show me the law which says it is illegal to follow someone on public streets.
