As a blanket statement, that is simply not true under the law, or common sense...
you don't get to punch out anyone who follows you simply for following you, or even for asking you a question.
Also, assuming that TM was actually talking on the phone with GF right before the confrontation, it seems even less likely to me that TM would have just attacked GZ out of nowhere when he's talking with someone on the phone.
You are not TM or his parents. I would say you are above the age of 18 so what seems like common sense to you may be different to a 17 yo. Amazing you are willing to sit in judgement on that one aspect.
I'm sure the police cleared the area as soon as they got there. Damn right they would shoo people away from the body. If they were trying to help TM, they would be crowded around his body, most likely obscuring the view of bystanders.
It would appear you don't think GZ did anything wrong so obviously we must agree to disagree.
Neither was TMAs far as your overreaction to the concept of someone not leading a stranger to their home, you are obviously not a woman.
He didn't even remotely suggest that.You know for a fact that TM threw the first punch?
Of course the witness is lying. This is not the version of facts they wantDo you think the witness is lying or something ?
Are you commenting on something that is happening live here?No evidence that Zimmerman confronted Martin. Wow.
This guy is going to be coached up before trial.

Yea, when O'Mara asked why he chose that word, the investigator could not supply evidence to support it and couldn't even conform that it was him that used the word and stated he could have used "30 other" words to describe the nature of the circumstance.
ETA: Of course, the state gets a shot a the witness as well.
How do you get that out of what I said?? Or anything I've posted throughout this whole thread?You know for a fact that TM threw the first punch?
The investigator just locked himself into some pretty damaging statements in that last exchange.
For the love of God would you people stop saying this, it makes you look silly. The lengths to which some of you are going to invent views that confirm what you want to believe is amazing.
If I'm a block from my home and someone is following me in the dark that I think may want to rob me or do me harm I'm going to book my ass home and get in my front door as fast as humanly possible. What sane person (in fear and being followed) would think "gee, I better stay out here in the dark with this strange person and give them every opportunity to do harm to me because I don't want them knowing where I live". Seriously??
Why can't you just admit it's very strange and that you don't know why he stayed out there and leave it at that? Wouldn't that be the reasonable position to take? Or is it because that would force you to admit in the back of your mind that maybe, just maybe, it's possible there is more to the story, and you don't want to have to entertain that?
