What kind of person would think that Zimmerman had the right to...

[HiddenAgenda63]

43. "OK, we don't need you to do that..."

coming from a civilian employee (and we can all be pretty sure Zimmerman knew THAT fact), rather than a sworn LEO, isn't exactly an order. He did say "OK," in response, though, and has always maintained that he followed the instruction...

I wonder where you get the idea that Zimmerman "stalked and confronted Martin" when all of the evidence I have seen or heard so far from the prosecution's witnesses seems to support the opposite conclusion.

Hasn't Zimmerman always maintained that Martin jumped and suckered him while he was simply trying to walk back to his car and use his cell phone? Wouldn't it seen pretty logical for Martin to at least WANT to confront the "creepy-ass cracker" that seemed to be monitoring him, that night? It would seem strange to me otherwise.

I wasn't there and I'm no magician, but it just seems to be both a perfectly logical act and normal occurrance to me. Martin's "What are you following me for..." seems to also indicate (at least to me) that Martin, rather than Zimmerman was the initiator...

The fact (and tragedy) of the matter is that no one alive except Zimmerman actually knows who approached whom. I'm not particularly looking forward to the information that will surface in the days to come, either, as I think that there is going to be some major character assassination attempts on both sides of the issue. I believe that we are going to be pretty sick of the "angry young black with chip" argument (FoxNews) up against the "white, racist wannabe vigilante" (CNN) argument.

The whole circus sickens me, but it is still pretty damn compelling.
