What Everyone Needs To Know About The Smear Campaign Against Trayvon Martin (1995-2012)

79. except for a couple of points

"A mature man and a 17-year-old boy who could be taken for a man are walking down a street alone. But this time, something unusual happened. The mature man started to follow the boy, and the boy ran (from Zimmerman's phone call)."

This was not 2 people walking down the street alone. Zimmerman was initially in his car and followed Trayvon, then got out of his car. He needs to answer why he followed him in the car and why he got out of his car and followed him on foot.

Following him in his car, and then exiting the car and following him on foot are, in themselves, threatening to anybody who *has* been followed by a stranger. (I know I had somebody follow me in their car when I had walked to a corner store in the small city I used to live in. He was clearly after me, repeatedly passed me from one direction and then the next, yelling something at me each time he drove by. And then as I was approaching the street I lived on that ended in the complex I lived in he pulled into a parking lot, watching me and yelling something at me. I was *terrified.* Absolutely *terrified.* Under Florida law, I could have continued home and if he continued to follow me, shot him. And believe me, had I been armed I would have.)


"we see in this example why this stand your ground law cannot work in a case in which two individuals are both where they are supposed to be,"

I don't believe Zimmerman was where he was supposed to be. Did he live on that particular street?
