Why was George Zimmerman following Trayvon?

Because he was a god damn vigilante and willingly put himself in a bad situation that police should have handled, but he had to be a hero - and now a kid is dead. I won't say either way, because maybe it was actually self defense, but he wouldn't had to defend himself at all if he had just went home.

What the hell is the factor of posting the comparable question persistently back? you have not heard the great case from the prosecution. Therefor how are you able to choose the case against Zimmerman? They needless to say theory that they had adequate info to convict him. See what that info is until eventually now finding out in the event that they met that burden or not. enable me ask you this. in the adventure that your neighbor replaced into strolling around your community and following an stumble upon with somebody else your neighbor ended up with a bullet in his chest, on what foundation could you anticipate that the top effect replaced into your friends fault? while 2 people who the two have a legal genuine to be on a belongings get right into a conflict and one, who's unarmed, finally ends up shot to dying then the shooter had rattling nicely simpler have the skill to justify using fatal tension. that's what this trial is approximately.

I have been following this case from the very beginning. It has been reported over and over again that George Zimmerman wanted to be a police officer. He SELF-APPOINTED his self as the neighborhood watch. He was not appointed or given this title. This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands. They look for trouble or confrontation. If you get a job a become a part of productive society, we wouldn't be discussing this today. Mind your own business.

He has stated the reason he was following Trayvon was because there had been a lot of break ins in his neighborhood by African-Americans (this statement was never proven; his words). Because Trayvon looked "suspicious" and "fit the profile" - keep in mind it was raining outside (this is why the hoodie was worn) he took it upon his self to handle it.

Martin was returning to his father's residence, which so happens to be the same neighborhood that Zimmerman resided in with Skittles and an Arizona Tea from the store.

None of us were actually there to speak upon what happened within those minutes, but we have only gotten one side of the story. The other person can't tell us his side because he is dead. Regardless of what really happened, it gives no one the right to take the life of another human being.

George Zimmerman may have escaped a prison sentence by our court system, but for the rest of his life he will be a prisoner within his own body. He will never have peace!

1) the operator does NOT have any authority in Florida. Zimmerman had no obligation to listen or follow his instructions.

2)TM, i dont think was doing anything wrong.

3) Heres what i think happened: A terrible miscommunication

I think that TM was scared because someone was following him. I think GZ thought TM was a criminal up to no good. (there had been a string of robberies in the neighborhood in the weeks before)

I think that its just because GZ had the gun and he was the one that survived. I think if it was TM that had gotten out alive, then he should also be found innocent. Both of them were concerned. I dont think its neither of their faults.

The police were coming to check Trayvon out and Zimmerman wanted to provide them with a fix on his location.

He was looking for the street name and Martin's direction.

The case is over, the verdict is in, the questions need to stop...it is over. What happened at O.J.s ex wife's house? Why was that dog barking? You see what I mean. Everything that could be presented in court was and whatever happened it is over.

That doesn't matter!!! Whether he was observing and following Trayvon did not warrant him being attacked.

Where have you been? He was acting suspicious and Zimmerman was a neighborhood patrolman. If some one is in my neighborhood acting suspicious, such as looking for something to steal, or break into, I'll follow them too. WAKE UP. We better start watching out for our neighbors and friends and each others property and lives before the thugs and junkies come to YOUR house.

I am convinced Zimmerman thought Martin was a thief. I am convinced Martin thought Zimmerman was a thief. A conflict was unavoidable.

None of us was there. They reached a verdict. Deal with it.
