Just think if he had followed directions to not go after the kid that nite...he wouldn’t be in jail, he wouldn’t have $100K and a kid would still be alive.

He did follow the directions to stop chasing him. Or did you over look that fact?

Just think, if you knew what you are talking about you would never have posted that obvious nonsense.

So what you seem to be saying here, is that if Zimmerman did trail the suspect, that gave the suspect the right to take Zimmerman down and beat his head against the ground?

That’s just bazaar.

Are you trying to say that a person on neighborhood watch or something similar, doesn’t have the right to follow someone he thinks is suspicious?

That’s just bazaar.

Are you saying Zimmerman didn’t have a right to defend himself when the perp was slamming his head against the ground?

That’s just bazaar.

Are you saying the police have the right to take you phone call where you express concern, then they effectively put you under house arrest at the end of the call?

That’s just bazaar.

Lets say you are in your home and you hear something out back. You look out and a guy with a ladder is setting up under your children’s window. You call the police and they tell you to stay inside. You could pull your kids out of their room, but then the perp would have the run of your home and none of you would be safe. You go outside to confront the perp, an altercation occurs, and you wind up flat on your back on the driveway with the perp banging your head on it. If you then shoot the guy to stop him, are you guilty of not staying in the house like the police told you to? Is some poor innocent perp dead because you didn’t follow the orders of Barney Fife?

No, your family is safe because you took action. And beyond that, the perp won’t be bothering anyone else in the area. Good job!

We need a lot more Zimmerman’s out there. If criminals know they may just wind up dead after doing things they shouldn’t, perhaps they’ll avoid doing things they shouldn’t.

Travon had no business beating Zimmerman’s head on the pavement. I view that as attempted murder. Good on Zimmerman for ending the life of someone with a hair trigger, that didn’t know better than to do this sort of thing.

All this proves, is that Zimmerman was a lot better judge of character than many people are. He was dead right to keep his eye on this stick of dynamite.

Just think. If little (6’2”) Trayvon hadn’t listened to the drugs in his system and gone back to put the beatdown on Zimmerman he would still be among us.

“Just think if he had followed directions to not go after the kid that nite...he wouldn’t be in jail, he wouldn’t have $100K and a kid would still be alive.”

I actually have no idea whether he followed directions or not. Nor does anyone else, despite what the prosecution says, besides Zimmerman. One version of events has him being attacked on his way back to his truck after breaking off his following of Martin.

That being said, you might as well say if only he hadn’t followed Martin at all, if only Martin hadn’t gone out to get skittles, if only Zimmerman and/or Martin hadn’t been born, or if only the world wasn’t an imperfect place where people do bad things.

Dispatchers only provide directions to first responders such as LEOs, EMS and firefighters. They may provide suggestions to civilians. In no case do they command or instruct with the exception of coming deadline to provide medical support over the phone to civilians.

Based on the transcript, Zimmerman agreed to the dispatcher’s suggestion to break off the search.

Just think if Trayvon had not gone to get tea and skittles, he would still be alive. Or maybe if Trayvon was not beating on George MMA style then Trayvon would still be alive.

“Just think” if that kid hadn’t ATTACKED him and knocked him down and began pounding on him, “the kid” would still be alive.

Are you totally stupid or just a frickin' dimwit troll? It has been proved he never kept following the kid after the dispatcher told him not to. His answer was OK and that he was returning to the truck. Why you a**hats keep throwing this worn out lie into the mix all the time is no mystery. you are trying to stir the pot because in your warped minds Zimmerman is guilty of murder. What a dumb ass.
