Most generous of u to grant him the privilege.

If there is any
reason
that Zimmy shud have done that, then please tell us what it
IS,
citing to any statutory or judicial authority in support.

It is a
GOOD idea to harass burglars;
deny them the privacy thay need on-the-job, after calling police.
Let's all
annoy them. Take their pictures up close n personal, while asking them if thay r there for burglary.
People in all naborhoods with burglary problems shud do that.

Do u have
STANDING
to raise that objection??
R u a member of his group?
Will u introduce a motion to throw him out,
or to let him off lightly, maybe just don't let Zimmy
sing the official song for 3 weeks ?

If U allege that there is
ANYTHING rong
with doing that, then will u please explain what it
IS??
I (for one) have never pledged allegiance to police dispatchers.
I guess
Firefly has committed herself to such obedience.

Martin--there was no crime in progress, nothing urgent was going on.
For
WHAT reason, shud he avoid annoying the burglar (pre-burglar)?? I don't see the point.
firefly wrote:And what "likely would be robber" would be just walking around, talking on a cell phone,
Lemme get this straight:
according to U, robbers don't use cell fones??
Do thay confine themselves to the older technology??
So, if u see someone using a cell fone, then u know he cant be a robber??

HOW do burglars occupy their time,
at 7 PM on Sundays??
firefly wrote:Since when is walking around and talking on a cell phone indicative of someone who is a likely burglar?
Since he starts casing the naborhood, looking at the houses; that 's when.

firefly wrote:Stalking is the correct word to use.
OK. For
WHAT reason shud burglars
not be stalked????
What good comes from leaving burglars alone to do their work????
firefly wrote:And, from Rachel Jeantel, we know that Zimmerman's behavior placed Martin in fear.
IF that were true,
then travon 'd not have
RETURNED and confronted Zimmy,
after travon fled the scene.
Quote:Stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward another person.
Stalking behaviors are related to harassment and intimidation
and may include following the victim in person or monitoring them....
[That is how future victims of burglary
shud treat burglars. David]
According to a 2002 report by the National Center for Victims of Crime, "Virtually any unwanted contact between two people [that intends] to directly
or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear can be considered stalking"

Quote:The very fact of the deadly attacked that Trayvon launch against Zimmerman is proof enough that Zimmerman was right
to have concerns about the young man.
firefly wrote:No, idiot. It's the other way around.
U sound very
CONFIDENT of your position,
non-idiot.
Will u offer proof of what makes it
"the other way around" ??
I challenge u on that allegation.
firefly wrote:The fact Zimmerman wound up shooting and killing him is proof enough that Martin had reason to fear this creepy guy
who was stalking him in the dark, and who never identified himself....
Your post appears to imply
that Zimmy was in error, in his choice to kill travon.
I fail to understand your reasoning there,
under those circumstances. Y not??
