From the 911 audio, it's clear that Zimmerman did the right thing. The audio makes it clear that it's a media lie that Zimmermman kept pursuing Martin after talking to the operator. And we know he wound up back at his truck, where he started. How did he get back there, unless he walked back, as the breathing and conversation on the audio suggest? That means St. Trayvon had to have doubled back and followed him there.
Neighborhood Watch is more responsible for the overall decline in crime in America in the last several decades than any initiatives by our well-financed police SWAT teams.
Zimmerman left his car, you can spin that any way you like, but he left his car and did pursue the kid, he escalated a situation against the advice of the police. He did repeatedly dumb things that escalated a situation needlessly.
Who is saying neighborhood watch is a bad thing? I never suggested it. However when someone does something stupid, and they do it with a gun in their hand, I am not going to knee jerk to defend their stupidity just because I am a firm believer in the 2nd ammendment. Here’s the truth, not every gun owner is responsible, and like it or not, there are idiots out there with guns who do incredibly stupid things with them. When they do stupid things with them, they don’t deserve defended, they deserve being called an idiot.
Neighborhood Watch guidelines in any NWO I’ve been involved with is to report, not to pursue.. So don’t try to spin Zimmermans idiotic actions as good and proper NW procedures. He was advised to not do what he did, he did it anyway, and he had a right to, but his stupidity in doing so is something you can’t white wash away. That action and actions that followed lead to what happened. Cause and effect folks, zimmerman calls the cops, stays in his car, and lets them handle it, this situation never happens. Trying to argue otherwise is a fools errand.
Zimmerman escalated the situation, did he throw the first punch? Who knows, the neighbor hood watch guys and ex con with a past, and the kid was a wanna be thug, and dead. So, its a he said she said on who threw the first punch. However Zimmerman did indeed, leave his vehicle and pursue the kid, against advice. Phone records confirm he was on the phone with his girlfriend around the time of this, and her testimony, whether you believe it or not, is the altercation began while she was on the phone and that Trayvon was being tailed and followed by Zimmerman.. Again, she could be lying completely, but the times of the phone call do confirm this. Zimmerman left his car, pursued this kid, and honestly, anyone tailing me at night, I’m not exactly going to think they have the best of intentions either.
Zimmerman mad repeatedly dumb decisions, and having a gun in his posession probably emboldened him to make those bad decisions. I don’t think that’s a wrong supposition, and I agree with that part of what Cosby stated.
Just because Zimmerman was trying to keep eyes on Martin, doesn’t mean he was pursuing him, it doesn’t mean he was “escalating” the situation, he was trying to get information for the dispatcher.
That Martin, felt emboldened enough to double back and confront Zimmerman instead of just returning home, tells me much about his “character”.
It’s obvious by the fact that he was able to “lose” Zimmerman that he could have physically run circles around Zimmerman and made it home safely.
But he didn’t. Why?
