| bluesinG said: Are you saying that Zimmerman stayed on the line with the police even after he got out of the car? I don't think that's true. So I ask again, why do you think Zimmerman got out of his car? I think that he did it in order to confront Martin. (And, to clarify, by "confront," I don't mean "shoot" or "fight.") |
Wow! So, you never even listened to the call? Why are you even here? I'm guessing you didn't even follow the trial or check out the evidence. He got out of his car and was running, then the dispatcher told him 'we don't need you to follow him', to which Zimmerman said 'Okay'. After this he talks about how he doesn't know where this guy went, and they discuss that the officer should meet him at his truck (by the mailboxes where his truck was parked), they continue to talk, and Zimmerman sounds less winded at this point, so most likely not 'pursuing' or 'following' any more, so it sounds like he DID listen to the dispatcher about not pursuing. It sounds like he might be knocking on somebody's door near the end of the call (maybe to alert another neighbor about a suspicious person). The attack happens shortly after he gets off the 911 call, during most of which he can neither see, nor his he following Martin any more (you can't follow somebody you don't see). He says he was heading back to his truck (which evidence appears to suggest) when he was attacked in his statement, evidence also supports his story of being attacked, as does the eyewitness account. There is plenty of time during the call for Martin to get home (since Zimmerman is on the phone and has no idea where Martin went), but Martin instead seems to have doubled back to start a fight. Game, set, match... case closed. There was never a case against Zimmerman.
In the call, he describes martin as 'looking like he's on drugs or something'. Turns out he was correct, Martin had drugs in his system.
EDIT: Also, the attack happened almost immidiately after he got off the call, so not any time for Zimmerman to find, then start following Trayvon again. The sequence of events/timeline does STRONGLY suggest that Martin waited until he saw Zimmerman get off the phone before attacking him (making him the follower, or stalker at this point). None of the tinfoil hat theories are backed up by any of the evidence. Let's move on!
