What if the person George noticed had been involved in the numerous recent break-ins? If the guy is gone when the police arrive, he might get to burglarize another home. I don't know if you understand this, but Trayvon's behavior was pretty damn suspicious that night and Zimmerman would not be a good neighbor if he did anything differently.He called police, they were sending someone out, there was no reason to continue.
Did you know that Trayvon owned and carried burglary tools? Did you know that he had been caught more than once with stolen women's jewelry in his backpack? Did you know his phone had a picture with a pile of (mostly women's) jewelry on his bed?
Neither did Zimmerman.In addition, we've been given no evidence that Trayvon was doing anything wrong prior to the altercation
That's absolutely wrong. He had a legitimate reason to follow. Only an ignorant person would disagree.(so there was no legitimate reason to follow him).
Turns out the young man was a criminal; but one at the special age where he can't really have a criminal record. I want people like Zimmerman looking out for me and my neighborhood. I would do the same for him and for my neighbors of all races.Again, I don't think there should be legal penalty for this, but had Zimmerman left policing to the people we appoint to do so, two people would be alive instead of one. Had he not been armed, I doubt he would have decided to track someone he thought was a criminal.
...and he didn't do any "policing" he only tried to maintain awareness of Trayvon's location until the police arrived. That's a good neighborhood watch coordinator. He was already out of the vehicle and walking when the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that [follow Trayvon]." GZ says he tried to get a house number so he could say where he was when he stopped following. While walking, Trayvon ambushed him.
Absolute innocence and absolutely in-the-right. Everything else is a mischaracterization; perpetuated by a public that is delusional when it comes to the facts of this case.
