Exactly. Stalking is against the law. The fact that many of these fanatics think it's ok to profile and stalk a complete stranger walking down the street because they think you have no right to be in "their" neighborhood is insane.

There is absolutely no doubt that Dershowitz KNOWS that the State is NOT going to reveal any more evidence than they absolutely have to in a charging document; they will present just enough info to meet the standard! He knows that.

Talk about fueling the fire, it's Dershowitz busily taking care of that and playing to Fox viewers.

I was at a grocery store today, a lady stopped me and asked if I knew where the avocados were, I did not viciously assault her and start banging her head on the floor.
What was suspicious about Trayvon Martin?

A "concerned neighbor" with a LOADED GUN.

Now that Zimmerman has lied, such silliness is all that Zimmerman apologists have left to work with.

Kind of helps to have when confronting suspected criminals.

Of course its political. The media and its progressive clients wanted to make this an issue that would benefit their agenda. Without checking the facts (just like they didn't do in the Tucson shootings) they jumped in and tried to paint this as a racist white man kills black child thing. Of course we know now that Zimmerman is an Hispanic Democrat.

The answer would be no...Unless the follower was doing something illegal (i.e. physically assaulting you) a police officer would not be able to arrest that person, maybe question him|her and tell the person to back off... also keep in mind a call about someone following you probably would not bring about a quick response...
