Zimmerman arrested again.

That was more like character suicide. You want to bring up terrible witnesses, I'll play that game.

By all means, finish the last sentence.

She is a poor and uneducated person and she sounds like it. *shrug*

I'll take a stab at your sentence:
Martin was a victim of being watched, followed, and harassed by Zimmerman. (I'd bet threatened, but I do not know it, so I'm leaving that out.) Zimmerman was the victim of a violent assault by Martin. Everyone is justified to self defense, which depending on the circumstance may include deadly force. It's unclear if Martin was exercising his right to self defense when he assaulted Zimmerman.

I know you'll dispute it because the jury found GZ not guilty... but I think the prosecutor for that case was a big fat failure like the one from OJ's case... I still think OJ did it... just that he was not found guilty. Same with GZ.
 
To "presume" is to accept legally or officially that something is true until it is proved not true. Thus presumed innocent is innocent until proven guilty.

She's a liar. Poor and uneducated has nothing to do with that.

Someone asking what you are doing is harassment? You would escalate to violence for that too?

What is that, like the third or fourth time you've caught him being destroyed by his own petard? It's both Shakespearean and modern digital in its obviousness, but since there are no YouTubes of Shakespeare quoting himself from Hamlet, I'll settle for the digital age's representation of the same meme. This is what I see in my mind's eye every time you ask that, or a similar, question:

It depends. If some ******* ******* wanted to know who I was and what I was doing there I'd probably tell him to **** off. Zimmerman isn't in charge of the sidewalk is he? It's none of his business who people are and what they are doing. The only thing he should be doing is calling the cops if he thinks something is wrong. If someone is on his property, that's different. If he kept on following me and harassing me, I can't say how I would respond. It would depend in the moment if I was starting to feel threatened by him staying on me like that. If I was by myself and it was night time, I would probably start feeling threatened sooner rather than later by some dude I don't know following me and challenging me. If I had no better option than my fists, I'd probably use those if I got to the point that I thought I was in imminent danger. How about you? Some stranger comes to you and demands to know who you are and what you are doing there, do you hang your head, hat in hand, and comply?
 
In mediation I think both views have a valid point.
.
For sure if Georgie Porgie was following me I would feel threatened. I think most people would. Even in states where there's a duty to retreat the duty is gone when you retreat and another party continues to pursue. You may then stand your ground. If GZ was hassling my guests he'd get my foot in his ass! And every time I saw him around my house I'd run him home.
.
We must also understand that TM was an 18-year-old coming into manhood. Like all teens he's flexing his wings. He's pushing the limits. He's unsure where the line is in terms of behavior. Sure he smokes a little weed. But who cares about that? He has no real criminal past. He may however feel the need, as many young men do, to smack-down this guy who's following him. While not a smart thing to do, he's still somewhat a kid.
.
These are two people who unfortunately came together in the worst of circumstances and at the wrong time in their lives. And since no one saw the point at which they came together or the exact circumstances of what happened next, there could be no verdict beyond reasonable doubt. While the jury got it right I believe GZ deserves to have ruined his own life.
.
I tell people to go see an attorney. Tell him you plan to be the neighborhood watch captain, you have no education, no training, no license as a security guard, you will be actively patrolling and perhaps even following people, you intend to carry a gun during patrols, have no insurance and no special weapons training. Watch his answer. He'll ask you if you're nuts or just stupid.

Failed self defense 101. Way to escalate a situation recklessly.

That's what he did, he called the cops. He tried to keep Martin in view, lost him, and then was approached on his way back to his truck. Asking, "what are you doing?" in your gated community is not harassment.

If he kept on following me and harassing me, I can't say how I would respond. It would depend in the moment if I was starting to feel threatened by him staying on me like that.

So you would start a fight with your fists if you felt threatened by someone's question...failed to desecalate again.

I would back up and walk away.

Some stranger comes to you and demands to know who you are and what you are doing there, do you hang your head, hat in hand, and comply?

If they're a cop, I would do this:

I agree with much of what your saying...but gz wasn't patrolling, he was on his way to the market. We also don't know his training level or education level.

Was GZ in his gated community or just in his general neighborhood? I'm pretty sure if he lived there it would have been a part of the discussion. Your comment is misleading.

We do know that GZ was arrested twice, once with violence, was fired from a security job for his temper, and at one point an ex girlfriend had a restraining order placed on him. We also know now that he's continuing to get in trouble over and over. Not sure what his training or education is, but his character is certainly suspect.

Martin was suspended for drugs, theft, and violence. I'm sure he just walked away though.

Zimmerman has the Second Amendment to defend himself from violent assault.

Yes they were in the gated community. Zimmerman lived in the community, Martin was there because he was suspended from school.

Sure he did. Then he walked towards GZ. Then he attacked GZ.

Perhaps not that night. But GZ was regularly patrolling the complex. That is his own statement. Personally I think he's a bug and thus a liar. His actions were part of a pattern that he admitted to. And we do know his training. He was enrolled in community college for criminal justice. He had not yet graduated. He had no formal agreement or contract with the complex as a licensed security guard. He admitted having no armed security training. He had no insurance. The guy couldn't keep his mouth shut thus he said all of these things prior to being charged. Personally? I think he's a sociopath.

He did. It was in both the testimony of his girlfriend and also the transcript from his police dispatcher.

Zimmerman has the Second Amendment to defend himself from violent assault.

And Martin has the same right to defend himself from dangerous people like Zimmerman.

Yes they were in the gated community. Zimmerman lived in the community, Martin was there because he was suspended from school.

It was in the evening. Regardless of his school status, he may have been there.

You don't know me. Your poor judgment also indicates to me that your best guess would probably also be wrong. ;)

Jeantel wasn't his girlfriend. He didn't walk away when he sucker punched Z and started smashing his head into the sidewalk. Police transcript also shows Zimmerman acknowledging he didn't need to follow Martin and he was going to look for an address.

And Martin has the same right to defend himself from dangerous people like Zimmerman.

You find me a case where someone was aquitted of charges after they killed someone for asking what they were going there...I'll agree.

Right, I heard... he acknowledged them saying that he didn't need to do that, as he panted because he was doing it anyway.

Zimmerman killed Martin after causing the confrontation. He has proven violence and bad judgment both in the past and after the TM killing. TM had the right to defend himself.

And? Ignoring his suspension? Too much character assassination for you?

Suspension from school. That's pretty far removed from multiple arrests and a restraining order.

On the contrary, you're showing your imagination on just about every line now.

You can't even get the timing right for the 911 transcript.

If Zimmerman caused the confrontation, he would of been guilty. He was aquitted of all charges, murder and manslaughter. You're wrong.

Suspensions are worse than arrests without a conviction. Martin was caught and found guilty by the school. Zimmerman wasn't found guilty before Martin in any of his arrests.

Considering my judgement falls in line with the jury, I'll let that satisfy where each other's poor judgment falls.

Just to clarify, you're wrong.

Martin was caught and found guilty by the school.
Martin had some problems in school but nothing of concern. Hell, many of us behaved no differently at 18. The school didn't hold a trial whereby TM was represented in some formal proceeding, thus guilty is a strong word. I think he was a little punk who flexed his budding manhood with a moron who didn't know right from left. The result was tragic.

Theft, violence, and drugs would be a very important concern if it were my child. I know a lot of people have done that at 18, but that is no excuse for others to follow.

I stand by the word guilty. There are ways to repeal suspensions through the school.

This might be the most reasonable, thought out thing I've ever heard in a discussion about Zimmerman and TM. Thank you.

When it all gets down to the bottom line though, neither of their prior records matter a wit. The jury decided Zimmerman wasn't guilty of a crime when he fired his weapon. The End.
