Zimmerman is 28 and looks from the photo to be a full grown armed man.
Martin was 16 and 140lbs.
How tall are these people. If Zimmerman is a 28 year old couch potato
at 5'6 and 240 pounds, my money is in the 17 year old football player
winning the fight.
True enough but I have even more trouble with the fact that Zimmerman is
the adult here. Another thing is he followed Martin. Why?
He was on the neighborhood watch. As a resident, he has every right to know
what's going on in his neighborhood. Martin did *not* have the right to
attack him, however. Why can't you get these simple facts through your thick
head?
He was told by the dispatcher "he didn't need to do that." You know
what? He didn't need to do that.
You do know that the dispatcher was no ordering him to do anything. She
couldn't. Good grief, you're stupid!
It was the dispatchers way of tell Z police policy.

We had some shootings near by and I happened to hear the shots. When I
called 911 they didn't tell me: "Can you go over there and get a better
look." - Hide quoted text -

Whether he "needed" to do that or not isn't the issue. The only
issue is who started the actual assault and if Zimmerman had a
legitmate fear for his life when he fired.

You have heard that there is only one eye witness who actually
SAW at least part of what happened? That witness says that
he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman, Zimmerman was on his
back and it was Zimmeman whowas yelling for help. Police
say Zimmerman had grass stains on his back, his face was
bloodied, he needed stitches to the back of his head. Yet
the media are trying to turn this into something revolving
around "stand your ground"? Even without any such law,
by Zimmerman's and the eye witness accounts, he had
no place to retreat to.

Having heard the above, I can see why the police didn't charge
Zimmermansnip
I actually do too. The SYG issue muddied the fact and got a lot of
people up-in-arms. It's unfortunate the way this thing unfolded.
You mean it's unfortunate that it's unfolding that Zimmerman was perfectly
justified in shooting the punk.

The only thing I can say for certain is Z exercised extremely poor
judgement by not following the directive of the dispatch.
It was *NOT* a directive, moron!

A directive is defined as an order "or" instruction.
