“All that Zimmerman had to do was stay put and wait for the police.”
I’ll follow your advice and cower behind my curtains and avert my eyes as some thug commits prowls my neighborhood. I will bet the life and well being of my neighbors on the chance some thug prowling in the dark, in the rain, looking in windows is just some poor little innocent kid and just meekly call the police and hide.
Heaven forbid, anyone takes action to protect the community, to look out for your neighbors. . .even you.
By the way, m,any people here will provide to you the link of the transcript between George and the dispatcher. Dispatcher asked him where the thug was/going and George was providing that info. Most importantly, when George gets out of his truck to answer the dispatchers question, a dispatcher is NOT a police officer by the way and cannot issue orders, the dispatcher only advised George “we don’t need you to do that.”
George killed a thug that was trying to kill him. One hit, one strike is enough. . .especially when having your head bashed into concrete.
But . . . there was no violence until Zimmerman pursued and killed the kid . . . self defence or not.
Have nothing to object to anything you wrote . . . except the kid . . . however you want to show him . . . was walking alone.
Zimmerman ignored warnings to stay away till police arrived. True?
At minimum, IMHO, Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter. He, IMHO, murdered the kid. All Zimmerman had to do was wait for the cops.
Not taking the stand in his own defense, Zimmerman avoided answering insightful questions.
As much as I see, Zimmerman killed someone roaming a neighborhood wearing a hoodie, eating candy, wandering about, and when confronted, did what i would do.
Tell the prick to f&vk off.
Decades ago, while visiting relatives in Baltimore County, I entered this row house, wrong house, people looked at me, stepped back and looked at the street signs. Got house wrong. Those people would have been well within their rights to shoot me for invading their home.
Except I got the street and house wrong.
Thankfully, the family I surprised didn’t want to kill me.
