    Errr, that's wikipedia not the official record. Wikipedia is a user edited wiki and it's slanted left.

    yeah, cause no one would be fearful of a weird man following them in the dark at night first in a vehicle then after they noticed him later following them on foot?

    if this was a black man following a white man and the black man shot the white man, wonder if that defense would work

    Specious. There is no law saying he could not have his gun with him and he wasn't on an official NW "patrol".

    He was observing the suspicious person and reporting to the dispatcher what he did at the request of the dispatcher. This is all public record, was introduced at trial and has been REPEATEDLY posted on this board. Why does it have to be repeated?

    Dispatcher: Just let me know if he does anything, okay?

    Zimmerman: How long until you get an officer over here?

    Dispatcher: Yeah, we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else.

    And he wasn't on some NW "patrol" and had every right to keep and bear an arm. He did not give up that right when he signed up to help coordinate a neighborhood watch program.

    Too bad Zimmerman was not in the way of scared little Trayvon running home in fear. Guess you didn’t look at the map to see where things occurred. If you did you might be aware that the fastest way to get from point A to B is a straight line. The fact remains that if Trayvon was actually scared nothing Zimmerman could do could stop him from running home. And evidence from the phone call and witnesses proved Trayvon wasn’t scared at all. SO, this story you made up is just that, your own imaginary sequence of events. Try sticking to facts, m’kay?

    Tell that to Martin, he is the one that did the accosting. If I saw a suspicious person walking around and looking into my neighbors garage and called the police and continued to watch him would that person have a right to come at me and assault me?

    He parked his car he did not follow him. He saw him as suspicious not a threat until Martin started acting like one. Kids, especially kids engaged in crimes SKIP SCHOOL or don't even attend school at all.

    You weak attempts to disparage him does not change the facts. Your fallacious claims he violated Florida laws does not make it so or him guilty of anything.

    Had Martin remained at the apartment to where he ran and Zimmerman came to the apartment then Martin would have a SYG claim. The opposite occurred.

    Don't know, don't care. Your question had nothing to do with what I posted.

    being followed in a vehicle by a man with a gun late at night, that after they make eye contact and Martin walks away, the man gets out of his vehicle and follows him on foot

    that would freak most people out

    what would you think if a man did that to your loved ones, z was either not thinking or was trying to play cop imo

    You are assuming that TM knew that GZ had a gun and that fact frightened him into taking the offense? The gun was concealed, legally.

    TM made it back to his Dad's house, then leaves his Dad's house to confront GZ. During the confrontation TM told GZ "you gonna die tonight" and started trying to make good on the threat by banging GZ's head into the sidewalk.

    My loved ones don't try to kill people who are simply looking at them so the end result TM met would not play out the same way had my loved ones been involved instead of TM.

    If GZ was playing cop, he would have jumped out and yelled "Freeze! Police!"

    And yet you still don't know why Stand Your Ground laws weren't used in GZ's defense.

    we have no idea what z did when he confronted Martin or what went down that night

    had z of yelled "Freeze! Police!", that would be a crime, impersonating an officer... cops can do that though, which is why best to let cops handle

    never said Z was standing his ground, I said maybe Martin was, stand your ground is not just for white people

    yep, both Martin and Zimmerman made mistakes that night, not disputing that, had z stayed in his car, had Martin ran to his home and hid from the guy following him, non of this would have happened

    one paid for it with their life, the other by being a social outcast for the rest of theirs

    no, I am saying we don't know what happened that night and never will, the only one telling us is the killer himself

    TM, on the right, certainly didn't sound afraid in the conversation he had with his girlfriend at the time.

    You think maybe this guy is scared of GZ? He doesn't exactly look like the little kid photos you have been shown, does he.

    TM confronted GZ, get over it. TM actually left his Dad's house to do so.

    So you agree that GZ, because he did not jump out and yell "Freeze! Police!", was indeed not "acting like he's a cop", right?

    Only in America can a Brown man kill a Black man and a White man still gets the blame, xD

    GZ made no mistakes that night, except maybe not video recording the event.

    By all accounts GZ was already a social outcast prior to his encounter with TM, and by all accounts TM needed to be stopped before he killed someone.

    Thank god he was.

    Untrue, you will be happy to know. There is plenty of forensic evidence to consider, as well as witness testimony. Remember this jem?

    You seem to have forgotten a lot of what was discovered during the trial.

    And don't forget the Dept of Justice with Eric Holder looked into the matter and agreed with the verdict.

    Danged ol' racists.

    never said he did just out and say "Freeze! Police!", you said that, not me

    z most certainly did make mistakes that night and a young man is dead because of it, many things he could of done differently, but he says it was God's plan for Martin to die that night and would not go back and change a thing
