George Zimmerman Emerged From Hiding for Truck Crash Rescue

I think I still have yet to hear one person tell me:

What would you expect your son to do if he was being followed by a stranger? Trayvon approached his car...asked him why he was following him....Zimmerman didn't respond. and when trayvon walked off Zimemrman followed him. Imagine thats your child. Now Zimmermans on foot following after him....and after asking "whats your problem?" he got no answer. not one indication of Zimmerman being a neighbor or neighborhood watch.

He had no idea who this guy was, what his motivations were. what more could he have done to please you guys, at what point, in your eyes, did he have the right to defend himself from an unkown fear?

 

To me some are stuck in a mega moncho mood or something, I mean if someone attacks me, why do I have to combat them when I can just shoot the unstable person? Some of you are just so mad he didn't eff up a teen by fighting, I mean get over it Trayvon was bigger and in better shape than 98 percent of any of you. Just because some reckless people like to brawl and roll around with unknown kids doesn't mean everyone does.

 

That is what SYG, a nickname, is.

 

So you would call it in as a suspicious person; thereby, profiling them.

 

But yeah it is different. I am not saying you don't get it. I am saying with all the misinformation about Zimmerman and SYG we should be clear it had nothing to do with this case etc... etc.. I want my law in place. I run a business in a warehouse district. I like that SYG doesnt force me to retreat if attacked.

 

Oh, I agree.

 

hahaha

 

well no...profiling is supposition based on ones outward appearance. For instance "that guy has a turbin...let's search him for bombs at the airport". thats profiling based on appearance.

being suspicious of somone who is actively following you with no lawful reason to be doing so is not profiling. nice try though. I suspect that we could arrive at the truths of this case, if we would all just quit the "gotcha" games and have an honest dialogue.

 

No, profiling means both, your actions, possibly your looks. A profile means you fit a profile. Looking in houses, wandering around in the rain when everyone else is inside. With crime in the neighborhood, you would profile someone like that of possible wrong doing.

 

I disagree wholeheartedly. there is a mountain of difference between misconstruing the behaviors of a black kid on his cell phone milling about, and calling the police because a particular person has been following you and is now chasing you. If you can't see the difference between the two...the reason for SYG being rewritten becomes ever more apparrent.

 

Even though it still did not apply. Now that is some logic there.

it may not have legally applied, but it more than added to the mindstate of someone who strapped on a gun, and felt that taking someones life was an option, if (*)(*)(*)(*) got out of hand.

 

LOL, you make it sound like the gun made him do it. How about no one helping after 40 seconds of screaming and being in fear of great bodily harm while flat on his back on the ground. Sounds to me that Zimmerman showed great restraint.

 

I don't think the gun made him do it, but I think CCW gives some people a false sense of courage.

 

That sentiment is usually expressed by someone that does not carry and I am talking about responsible citizens, not criminals. The first thing you realize is that you have a greater responsibility, the second is that every bullet comes with a lawyer. Hardly the stuff of the impression people get watching too much TV.

 

Thought his actions fell under the "Punch a complete stranger in the face rather than go home" rule.

 

Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle told friends they do not want to talk publicly about Zimmerman for fear they will be accused of portraying him as a hero – and face a backlash from those who consider he got away with murder.

 

But then there are people who think they have big brass ones clanging in their pants because they are strapped. Z is a classic example.

 

Don't carry, do you?

 

Actually, I haven't seen any listed evidence, just your insistance that there is evidence... Could you point out the post where you provided 'evidence' that contradicts anything I've said?

 

My pleasure, though I think "absolute genius" might be somewhat overstated...

Well, the 'Stand Your Ground' law would also include "Shoot a stranger rather than go home"...

 

Seeing how you have yet to back up your opinion with any facts. Care to supply some?

 

Can you indicate where anyone said Trayvon was looking in houses?
According to Zimmerman, Trayvon was on paved surfaces and talking on a cell phone while walking... Not exactly peeking into windows casing houses.
Sounds like walking home is fine; but if it starts raining, you're suddenly suspicious.

 

Of course that is why Zimmerman called the police. Doubt he expected to be attacked.
