Well according to the 911 tapes, he clearly was following the kid at one point and was asked to back down. He did kill the kid after that. He did claim self defense. The police chose to not charge him. So.......
Do these items make me look suspicious?

He killed a kid that he was following. It's really not that hard to understand.BDKJMU wrote:Why assumme he did an action after being advised not to?BlueHen86 wrote:

The irony of this situation is that if Trayvon was armed and killed Zimmerman he would be in a good position to apply the stand your ground defense.kalm wrote:Regardless of what happened after that, he was following what ended up being an innocent kid.BDKJMU wrote:

You're the only person making assumptions here. You're reading things into posts that aren't there. Zimmerman followed and killed Martin, nobody has disputed that.BDKJMU wrote:Why assumme he did an action after being advised not to?BlueHen86 wrote:

The question is whether or not it was self defense. I don't know, which is why I said the courts should decide.

Re: Do these items make me look suspicious?
You only need a reasonable belief that you are being threatened. All Martin would have to do is claim he felt threatened that he was being followed. Since Zimmerman had admitted to 9-1-1 that he was following Martin, and Zimmerman was armed, I think Martin would be in a good position to apply the law.BDKJMU wrote:Not unless Zimmerman threatened/attacked him.BlueHen86 wrote:

Re: Do these items make me look suspicious?
If Zimmerman was dead Martin could claim that he saw a gun. Zimmerman wouldn't be there to agrue otherwise. Kind of like Martin isn't around to give his side of the story today.BDKJMU wrote:Zimmerman being armed wouldn't be a defense for Martin if the weapon was concealed.BlueHen86 wrote:

Re: Do these items make me look suspicious?
You should have sat this argument out. I repeated facts, facts that both sides of the case have agreed on up to this point and the best you have is to try and distinguish between "stalk" and "follow".BDKJMU wrote:-Zimmerman "stalking".

The police did take his word for it, otherwise they would have charged him or looked for more evidence. He's been charged now, that tells me the police didn't do enough back in Feb.
