Regarding following anybody, it remains to be determined if Zimmerman followed Martin after being told to stop. Again, I'll let the jury decide.
you didn't hear the 911 tapes??
zimmerman was following martin
You didn't hear all the tapes either, but that's not the point. Without choosing sides here, I suspect Zimmerman will state that once he was asked to not follow Martin, and after he responded "Okay", he will claim that he did indeed stop following and returned to his vehicle and that it was Martin that later followed and attacked him. Again, I have no idea what happened but I'd bet that will be the defense's claim.
Someone asking a stranger in a gated community who they are and what they are doing is not "accosting" them. What gives you the right to assault someone asking those questions? Fight for your life because someone asks you questions? Are you kidding me! You fight for your life if someone attacks you. Someone asking you a question does not fall under the heading of an "attack".
I'd have told the bastard to fuck off if he started asking me those questions
That pretty much appears to be the tact that Trayvon took. Gee, how'd that work out again?
If someone asked me that, I'd tell them my name and the name of the person I was there visiting. But that's just good 'ole logical me. I got stopped twice by the cops in a fifteen minute stretch in Westchester, NY years back because it was a REALLY nice neighborhood and I was driving my college beater. Did I tell the police to fuck off because they were stereotyping me? No, I told them who I was there visiting and asked for directions because I was lost. If Trayvon Martin had done that the night of the shooting, George Zimmerman probably would have given him a ride to his dad's girlfriend's house. But instead, Trayon reacted like you say YOU would have...an altercation took place and he was shot dead. Sorry, but that's just plain stupid.

He wasn't asked not to follow Martin.
Don't we have like 8 threads of this bs already?

With Zimmerman apologizing. No. We don't.
And Martin assaulted him why?
If people could just own that he should not have racially profiled a young man out to get a soda and skittles, none of this would have happened? That'd be great.

He killed someone that attacked him with the intent and ability to do bodily harm, as was his right.like.......... at the most 2 stitches. He killed a person over 2 stitches...
He wasn't asked not to follow Martin.
Perhaps you're right but I heard he was by a 911 operator. Whatever, this is for the jury.
Right! Because doing so means a death sentence.If you're in a gated community, you answer when someone asks you what you're doing.
You don't run, then circle around and punch them in the face.
The Defense needs to do everything it can to keep him off the stand. This dude will hang himself.
Nice of Zimmerman to recognize the loss publicly. I'm sure some will argue whether he meant it or not.
What powers of deduction led you to this conclusion?holy cow, so now if woman is being raped the woman would have to stop and ask the rapist if he is ARMED before she shoots his pecker off?
good grief..
