He did it anyway.
"We don't need you to do that" is not the same as saying not to do something. Just sayin'

You know what I'm saying. I have no idea why people feel the need to do this as opposed to defending their positions.

He had no business doing that.

So we had a kid, that thinks like a kid and a creepy adult.
I agree with you. Zimmerman initiated the interaction that led to Trayvon's death. There was a strong case for Manslaughter but the prosecution REFUSED to pursue that route. They presented NO case for Manslaughter they made it clear that wanted a conviction for MURDER which was impossible to prove. I suspect they knew there would be an acquittal because what they really wanted was a "movement" not justice in this case.

If one wanted to go back and find it you would see where I condemned the prosecutor over her actions.

I believe Zimmerman contributed to Martin's death but I did not believe it to be murder.

Those who were upset at him walking should have been as mad at the prosecutor as anyone.

Is that all you got? (smh) This is a typical arrogant, dismissive response I get from BlackLivesMatter types. Or they yell and scream or change the subject.

Bwaaa haaw haawww (rubs hands together thinking deeply).
Even if you are kidding, I'm completely down with that scenario and the very thing in a similar thread.

Nope, not kidding in the least. I've always felt I was born in the wrong century.
