I'm not the one who argued they would shoot a 17 year old for confronting you for following them around.

How about when they're on top of you beating your head into the cement? How 'bout then? Hmmmm?
C'mon, at least be HONEST about what came out at trial and quit trying the case after it was already decided just because you don't like it.

I find it funny. I don't know what you will argue but so many that argue the Zimmerman side will also argue for the right to shoot someone that accosts them.

Some creepy guy following around a 17 year old boy is asking for trouble.

Don't so many argue "just listen to what the authorities tell you and you won't get hurt". Wasn't Zimmerman told to NOT pursue after him?

I didn't agree with the murder charges. I believed charges were justified, just not murder.

I think he should have a manslaughter charge at least, but I don't really know the law. The kid was really creeped out that some guy was following him. I can understand that.

Can you debate without lying, son?

I said, " If a 17-year old boy bashed my head in for following him...I would shoot him too."

Got it?

No, <bold> he was not "told to do or not do" anything. Please re-read the transcript of what the dispatcher said not what others said was said or what others think and then LET IT GO. It's been adjudicated.

Creepy maybe but not illegal and certainly not justified to use violence such as bashing someone's head against concrete.

Dispatcher: are you following him?

Zimmerman: yeah.

Dispatcher: ok, we don't need you to do that.

He did it anyway.

A creepy guy following you is going to get a reaction.

He had no business doing that.

So we had a kid, that thinks like a kid and a creepy adult.
