[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1849619, member: 24428"] In Zimmerman's case there is a difference between following versus persuing a person. If you are following someone.. you can fall back and increase the distance between you and the person you are following.. keeping the person in sight. Whereas in persuing, you attempt to close the distance and overtake the person. At worse, Zimmerman was merely following Martin. Zimmerman didn't even consider the situation to be a emergency.. he didn't dial 911... he had dialed the non-emergency #.. he just wanted Martin checked out by the PD. I sure don't see any intent to confront Martin there. Zimmerman was carrying concealed.. so until he was on his back and his jacket flailed open, Martin had no idea Zimmerman had a gun. From what I've heard Zimmerman say and what the witness said... I think Martin was a big young thug who fancied himself as a tuff guy.. and thought he could intimmidate a smaller Zimmerman. Martin confronted Zimmerman for following him, sucker punched him and was gonna give Zimmerman a good beat down, when the gun became exposed.. and Martin began to reach for it. That is when Zimmerman said he had no more time to wait for the police.. and grabbed his gun before Martin could... and shot Martin one time. If Zimmerman had even the remotest bit of intent of threatening or shooting Martin... he never would have let Martin get close enough to sucker punch him. And why is it no one questions why Martin didn't just run home and tell his father that someone was following him? Martin could have called the police and reported Zimmerman.. heck, he had a cell phone in his hand. He could have hung-up on his girl friend and dialed 911. I'd like to know where Martin's cell phone was when he was shot. Was it on the ground beside him.. or was it in his pocket. And where were the skittles & ice tea we all have heard about.. were they in his pocket or on the ground beside him? Hard to beat a guy down and hold a cell phone, skittles and ice tea all at the same time. [/QUOTE]
