But zimmerman was not "a cop", his job was to observe and report. Considering he was not on watch that night anyway that was all that he should have done in the first place.

Oh, so now she's a manipulative genius, not someone whose first language isn't English? IIRC, Rachel had known Trayvon Martin since they were children; I daresay he could understand her quite well. I went to school with twins...to this day people have trouble telling them apart, but I have no problem.

Come on. I don't want to gang up on that girl, I really don't. If she is mentally disabled I can understand her behavior and inability to express herself. That combined with a court setting, a totally idiot lawyer grilling her. I can understand.
But at 19 we have men and women making life and death decisions. Those who serve...
She should be able to get her point across better than she does.
on a side note I might have asked that lawyer if he was born a total dik or if he had to practice it because he has it down pat.

Ignorant and stupid are 2 entirely different things. Ignorance is by choice, stupid is by birth.
I don't for a minute believe this woman was born with a mental disability, that would be an insult to disabled people everywhere. This woman takes pride in her ignorance based on a few of her now deleted Tweets.

I think she's probably slow. The type of slow that can be overcome if a person has the desire and people around them that will help. However, based on what I see when I listen to and watch her, I don't think that is the case.

Considering he made a snap decision based on seeing a young man walking down the street and then made the situation worse by chasing the kid all over the neighborhood, there is a good reason why cops don't want guys like Zimmerman getting involved.

That means she's lived her entire life in the US and has attended US public schools, which to my knowledge still teach the English language.

She may be back. West made an idiotic blunder mentioning GZs past. That may be new open territory for the prosecutor.
