Zimmerman does not get a pass when he is told "We don't need you to do that", by a dispatcher who has told him that police will be there, and continues to do what it is he intended to do.

I am also pretty sure that you or I, if told that, would not continue to stalk the victim.

We don't need to go any further than that.

He was not well-intentioned and disregarding that directive only adds to that for me.
