Okay.
But this particular instance of stalking ended up with a young man shot to death...
I have no problem at all
in accepting Zimmy 's explanation of events.
Its not implausible. Decedent
brought it on himself 1OO%.

It is a possibility that Zimmy will hit the Florida Lottery
for the biggest jackpot in its history (I hope he does),
but the existence of "possibilities" has no legal nor moral effects.

That is error, Frank; behold:
Timeline (based on my un-aided memory)
Zimmy 's naborhood is plagued by burglaries.
The beauteous (tho un-armed)
Olivia
gets burgled by 2 blacks, and she is most
distraught before
she flees the naborhood, in terror. Police arrest one of the burglars.
The other escapes; (I suspect travon). Zimmy befriended her.
He was sympathetic to her plight and he gave her a doorlock.
Zimmy patrols the naborhood against more burglaries.
He tries to be alert and conscientious in watching.
He organizes a naborhood watch, against burglary.
While driving in the area, he sees martin looking
at houses in the naborhood, apparently casing them
for burglary then or later. He calls 911 and he laments
that these punks always get away; he watches n follows
the burglary suspect. 911 operator suggests that he not
follow; he stops following, adopting 911 operator's wishes.
Zimmy loses sight of prowling/burglary casing suspect (martin).
911 operator asks for
a more specific location for him
to tell police to meet Zimmy qua inquiry into prowling
behaviors. Zimmy mentions a Clubhouse and gives directions.
Zimmy dismounts from his vehicle in an effort to ascertain
his more specific location. While he is out, martin re-appears
and attacks Zimmy, knocking him over backward and slamming
his head on the cement. He has no way of knowing the severity
of each of the future impacts of his brain against the cement, nor
the permanence of injuries inflicted upon him so far and continuing.
He screams for help as loud as he can.
Zimmy
KNOWS that the police are approaching the general area,
because he called them. There are nabors around the area.
Thay see the fight. Thay hear the screams.
Zimmy is not eager to commit crimes in front of the nabors
nor of approaching police whose proximity is un-certain.
Zimmy takes out his feeble,
ill considered, 9mm automatic and shoots martin,
who is seated on Zimmy 's central body mass and is slugging Zimmy,
MMA "ground and pound", so that he can brag to his MMA friends
of his beating up or killing a white.
Fortunately, the anemic 9mm slug only has to mosey along about 4 inches
to hit the attempted murderer seated on Zimmy.
Martin cud have avoided any violence by just going home, peacefully
when Zimmy lost him, or simply
: DON 'T GET VIOLENT,
but he preferred "ground and pound".
He cud
NOT brag as well about being non-violent.
THAT is how
he brought it all on himself 1OO%, Frank.
I 'd never impugn your right to laff, Frank,
but that 's a private matter like brushing your teeth.
Enjoy your chuckles.
David
